Steve Cobby and Laurie Welton are both from Hull in the north of England. Cobby is one of the members of the pioneering electronic outfit Fila Brazillia while Welton is the man behind the Myth! project, whose “False Profits” EP was released last year on Posthuman’s Balkan Recordings label. In fact, Cobby has known Welton’s aunt for 20 years and Laurie has been a fan of Fila Brazillia since the early ‘90s. So when Laurie was asked by Steve to collaborate with him, he jumped at the chance. The fruits of their collaboration are the three tracks on the “Absolute” EP. This release is truly an international affair; the label, Adam Warped’s Whiskey Pickle imprint, is based in Austin, Texas, the artists are from the UK, while a remix of “Absolute” comes courtesy of New Yorkers Whatever/Whatever, a duo staffed by Bryan Mette and legendary NY DJ, producer and remixer Justin Strauss.
