7SR 010 - Count On It
August 2006 sees this new deep house 12” on Glasgow’s Seventh Sign Recordings by Carl Finlow. Delivering three expertly crafted dance floor gems, Carl makes his long overdue debut on Seventh Sign, marking the occasion with some classic work. The label’s very own Dom Cappello is a trusted Finlow collaborator on the 20/20 Vision classics “Sheltered”, “Shielded” and as Urb ‘n’ Ri (the seminal “Space City” ep). We would like to welcome Carl to Seventh Sign.
Carl has been writing and recording music since 1986. His first real record involvement was co writing and producing “Moments of Inertia” by Circle City on Warp in 1993. After a year or so working with Leeds indy band The Bridewells and culminating in an album with them recorded in Roxy Music’s studio, he settled down into what would be the next twelve years of his life writing and producing records. In 1995 he and DJ Ralph Lawson set up 2020 Vision Records, producing deep house flavours of their own as Wolf and Flow and under his own solo guise of Random Factor, remixing artists from around the globe including Blaze, Josh Wink, Superman Lovers and Fatboy Slim. Carl’s solo work is heavily electro tinted, reflective of the Kraftwerk era but owing as much to the likes of Drexciya, Prince, Depeche Mode and Yello. During the mid 90’s he teamed up with SCSI founder Daz Quayle and wrote under the name Scarletron and also as Black Labs with two releases on Thomas Heckmann’s Trope Recordings around 1995.
Working under the names of Random Factor (2020 Vision) Voice Stealer (Subvert) and more recently Silicon Scally (SCSI, Satamile) he has released music on labels including Warp, Fuel, Playhouse, Paper, Trope, Sony, Klang, Arista, Soma, Pagan and Minifunk. He is also a keen remixer in his own right, having reworked tracks by 2 Lone Swordsman, Luke Slater, Swayzak, Dave Tipper and Alexi Delano.
2002 saw the release of the critically acclaimed Mr. Machine album on SCSI recordings. 2003 saw the combined singles for Device Entertainment Recordings released as the album “Electrilogy+” under his real name, Carl A Finlow. He continues to evolve musically and since moving to Paris has become involved in numerous projects including working on classical music for Lancome cosmetics, and remixing a new Parisian band called June Sex.
March 2004 saw the Random Factor album ‘Convergence’ with additional remixes by John Tejada, Swayzak, DJT and Fred Everything. This was also the 100th release for the 2020 Vision label, and included touring Europe, USA, Japan and several UK University dates/seminars in partnership with Ableton and M-Audio. 2004 took in 44 live dates all around the world.
2005 provided another album from Silicon Scally, “Dark Matter” on Satamile Recordings from New York. Carl has also now teamed up with D’Julz, one of Frances’ top djs and the duo have already recorded five tracks together in deep electro house and minimal styles. July 2006 sees the latest album from Silicon Scally “Bioroid” released on Satamile. August sees the ep on Seventh Sign under the Carl Finlow moniker.
His next major project will be a new Random Factor album for 2020 Vision. This year marks a new collaboration between the mysterious Scarletron and the legendary Andrea Parker’s Touchin’ Bass label.
