Fear of Theydon
Fear of Theydon is one Julian Peck, a former Sunday Best tea-boy whose ability has seen him quickly rise through the ranks in a style not dissimilar to a certain Rob da Bank all those years ago at Muzik Magazine (& their hair-styles aren't too dissimilar either... hmmm?)
It didn't take long for us to begin to realise that not only was young Jules a sterling worker and an all-round nice guy but that he also had real talent at musical production. The first thing to start pricking our ears was his superlative re-edit of Kate Bush's 'Cloudbusting', under his Mr Whelk guise, that he subtly slipped onto the office stereo one raining Friday afternoon.
It wasn't long before the rain stopped, the clouds parted and Rob da Bank used the track to open his BBC Radio 1 Leftfield show. A remix of The Cuban Brothers 'Love Is Alive' quickly followed, as did several commissions to create Rob's radio jingles, and a small army of high-profile admirers (Mylo, Touche, Seelenluft, Quiet Village, Mark Vidler, Mark Moore...) began to take notice and give praise.
While Mr Whelk is Julian's alias for remixing massive pop hits as bootlegs that will probably never see a proper release, Fear of Theydon is all about him remixing real new bands and songs he loves, plus creating fresh tracks of his own... and then getting them out there on a beautiful slab of vinyl for all to cherish!
