Austin Ato
Colin Bailey’s Drums Of Death alter-ego was a ferocious live performer who wore terrifying skull face makeup and barked over crunchy beats. But the amiable Scot decided to kill off his old alias and begin recording as Austin Ato in 2015, starting with ‘Dreams’, a rework of Loui Vega’s ‘Diamond Life’ (a mainstay on Radio 1, but the uncleared sample prevented an official release). The EPs ‘Break My Fall’ and ‘Fantasy Streetwear #1’ followed, fusing infectious old-school house and disco.
Austin Ato’s EP ‘All I Want’ is out on TMT Records
