PRESS
"His latest musical outing, Roll On, King’s Cross, is under the name George T and was recorded with a vintage melodica picked up on Ebay. Inspired by reggae legend Augustus Pablo, it combines the tones of his purchase with a sparse keyboard sound and a moody vocal, creating a piece of atmospheric brilliance."
ARTIST OF THE WEEK - SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY

"Here George turns his hand to some dynamite digi-dub. Sparse, and dark, the rhythm – somewhere between bogle and samba – accompanies a prose poem. George describing a train journey from the coast, through countryside, toward the smoke, in a manner that recalls Michael Smith and Joe Duggan. Jarv Is` Swanky Modes remixed by Dennis Bovell. A melodica adding memories of The Sabres Of Paradise, and Wilmot`s last skank. Percussion elegantly echoed, like whispers in its shadows. There`s a dub, a ruder rub, resembling stripped-back, hollowed-out house. Full of treated coiled spring sound effects, tambourine breakdowns, and boasting a big phased, fuzzy, buzzing bottom-end. While not due until November, both have been on loop at Ban Ban Ton Ton`s mountain HQ."

INTRO
Hot on the heels of the Maastricht Research debut album, HM continues to mine a deeper seam with this delicious slice of dub-wise electronica and moody soul by Edinburgh legend George T (following in a similar vein to last year's collaborative EP with Paranoid London's Quinn Whalley on Optimo Music).

BIO
Emerging from the epic Scottish house and techno scene of the 90s, George started his musical adventures as a dj then promoter, bringing to Scotland DJs from Chicago, New York, Toronto, Paris and London to play at the legendary Tribal Funktion parties in Edinburgh.

Aside from co-founding Edinburgh's Underground Solushn record shop, he also started producing his own blend of techno and house in the mid nineties. This led to a string of releases with seminal labels such as NRK, Stickman, 2020 Vision, Crosstown Rebels, Tirk and more recently Greco-Roman, Optimo and Output Recordings. After a move to London in 2000, the George T moniker began a long hiatus. Nothing was heard until Joe Goddard released an EP of rediscovered gems on Greco-Roman in 2017.

His various monikers from then and now include Plastic Avengers, George Demure and more recently as one half of Jeanga and George. He collaborates extensively, with some of his most recent projects featuring actor Tam Dean Burn, soul singer Joseph Malik and Paranoid London's Quinn Whalley. He continues to share his eclectic tastes on his monthly radio show All Noise on Edinburgh's EHFM Radio.
