A Winter Cuppa with SSS

Statik Sound System formed in the early part of 1994 after band members had been in a variety of noise, Dub & breakbeat acts. Statik Sound System signed to Bristol's own Cup of Tea Records. They produced 2 albums, a Remix album, 6 singles/EPs, & appeared on countless compilation albums. 

They have been remixed by the likes of Mr Scruff, Cut la Roc, Spring Heel Jack, More Rockers, The Egg, Tao, Ian Simmonds, The Bullitnuts, & Aim to name but a few. They have toured around the globe with a bizarre mixture of bands as diverse as Spiritualized, Black Francis, Receiver & Smith and Mighty.

After putting together their own studio in 1998 they released their last album, My Ooh-Zik in 2001 which I shared here. 

Some sweet Dubbed-out trip-hop on this, their debut...
