Label US

23 Skidoo are a British band known for their fusion of industrial, post-punk, alternative dance, rock, and world music. Formed in 1979 by Fritz Catlin, Johnny Turnbull and Sam Mills, the group drew inspiration from martial arts, Burundi and Kodo drumming, Fela Kuti, The Last Poets, William S. Burroughs and the emerging confluence of industrial, post-punk and funk.

Their debut album "Seven Songs" released in 1982 is said to evoke the claustrophobic humidity of an African forest. With influences ranging from A Certain Ratio to Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, they created experimental EPs like "Tearing Up The Plans." In 1983 they performed live at the first WOMAD Festival with their album "The Culling Is Coming."

In later years they shifted towards hip hop and signed to Virgin Records in 1991. Their self-titled LP featured collaborations with Pharoah Sanders and Roots Manuva. They released a compilation of singles titled "The Gospel Comes To New Guinea" in 2002 before liquidating their company in 2003.

New Wave / Post Punk

ltm is proud to announce a series of expanded reissues on cd by seminal post-punk group 23 skidoo. initially active between 1979 and 1986, 23 skidoo released a series of genre-defining records fusing post-punk, dub, industrial, world and hip-hop styles. their classic singles include 'last words', 'tearing up the plans', 'coup' and 'language'. albums include 'seven songs' (an indie chart number 1), 'the culling is coming' and 'urban gamelan'. in 2000 the group returned with a self-titled album, '23 skidoo', and remain hugely influential. 'just like everybody' (cd one) is a compilation covering 1980 to 1986, and includes the full 12" versions of skidoo's signature singles such as 'last words', 'coup', 'language' and 'assassin', as well as key album tracks, and both sides of rare debut 'ethics' from 1980. the second discgathers together 17 tracks recorded by the group during the 1990s, and was originally released on the band's own ronin label in 2002. digitally remastered, most of the tracks and mixes on this double cd set are exclusive, and are not repeated on the other 23 skidoo cds in ltm's reissue program. the booklet also features a detailed history of the group, with contributions from skidoo members past and present.
