Youth Attack Interview 2009

2009-04-21T18:48:00.000-07:00

Youth Attack, aka Leeds based DJ/production duo Lee Dunn & Chris Petty, first came bursting onto the scene with their remix of Shadow Dancer's 'Daytime Drinking', and have since then produced a solid collection of equally loud, dancefloor destroying remixes for the likes of Foals, Late Of The Pier, The Human League, Tiga and more with their own brand of Electro, Techno and Cut-Up Disco.

Favorite night played?

It would have to be the Bad Sneakers night in Leeds we played with Surkin. Really good party atmosphere and we got... very drunk.

Kill the rhythm, what are the plans for developing the brand in the future?

Well we've just started a new night in Leeds, it all kicks off in May, and its free! We've got people like Felix Cartal, In Flagranti, Jokers of the Scene & Joe and Will Ask? playing for us. There are hopes as well of launching a digital label in the near future.

What do you have coming up in the way of remixes and possible future release?

We're just finishing off remixes for Andy Caldwell and Bass Weazel. Our remix of Heads We Dance should be seeing a release sometime soon, as well as one we did for our friends Eskimo Twins. We're in the process of getting our first release out, followed by an EP in the summer!

Are you going to dress up for your Ditch It All performance, or merely stick to playing a few exclusives?

We might pretend it's our last live performance, dress up like members of the seminal rock outfit 'Queen', as well as donning the Mic for an impromptu guest appearance from Blackout Crew.

Does an ideal night out for YA end with Porn or each other?

Both. Nothing says love like that of another gentleman.

Having previously been a band named Arcane War Machine playing grindcore and moving on to a band named Youth Attack, do you feel there is an element of your nature which glorifies and revels in violence and do see you this a psychological dysfunction?

They just both sound wicked.

Why change your musical styling's so rapidly because of two unattractive males with a penchant for dressing up like robots?

True fact -- Did you know that the members of Daft Punk are the former two lead guitarists from Megadeth?

Daft Punk just came back into our knowledge at a crucial time, when we were getting bored of the music scene we were in and wanted a change. It was also greatly aided by the lovely Erol Alkan.

Does this lead on to abnormal feelings for other sci-fi creations, Spock perhaps, or Red Dwarf's Kryton?

We are both massive geeks at heart, we just try to hide it well. I think part of that comes out in our music, just not the homosexual sci-fi feelings part.

Why has Chris dyed his hair black, is he an electro-goth?

Haven't you heard? Black is the new Black. If hair dye is good enough for Tiga, its good enough for me.

Jane Doe or Homework?

Jane Doe – Enough said.

Do you have any plans to write a record that will sync with a bizarre film, (example?)

Pink Floyd had it nailed. There's also the theory about Human After All syncing up with Electroma. I think if we were to try it, we'd sync our epic 5th Album up with Commando.

Do you like Fishsticks?

Fish Fingers? They're alright. Birdseye have just brought out those new Salmon Fish Fingers, Its dead posh. Chris loves them.

Harrogate DJ duo launch new dance music night

2009-03-23T13:47:00.000-07:00

A YOUNG DJ duo are launching a kicking new music night called Kill The Rhythm in a bid to give Harrogate an alternative to cliched club nights.

With contacts among the best producers and DJs in the UK, Lee Dunn and Chris Petty, aka Youth Attack, aim to provide an upbeat electronic night at Rehab which will be accessible, varied and cutting edge – while giving a wide berth to two obvious pitfalls in this town - populist or snobby.

Fresh

The first event on Thursday, April 2, will star Youth Attack themselves, who have recently been responsible for an array of brilliant remixes for the likes of Late Of The Pier, Shadow Dancer, The Human League, Foals and The Ting Tings.

Says Lee, in his early 20s, who went to Rossett School in Harrogate, but now DJs round the country with Youth Attack: "We're not trying to put the idea of 'cool' in your face, we're not trying to build a clique of hipsters and scenesters.

"We're trying to do something new and fresh."

Guest DJs

Such is the duo's commitment to music, entry will be free at Rehab on the Kill The Rhythm night which has guest DJ sets in the pipeline from the likes of Foamo, Heads UP, Ocelot and Andy George for what is hoped to become a monthly night.

Youth Attack have made a rapid rise through the club music and remix ranks, perhaps because of their versatility and youthful energy.

"Our inspirations come from a lot of different areas of dance music - disco, French electronic with its cut-up samples, techno, Chicago House. We play anything, as long as it's good and not tosh."

Hip

Youth Attack must be doing something right, already receiving serious industry backing nationally and closer to home.

Hip Leeds indie label Bad Sneakers described mssrs Dunn and Petty thus: "Youth Attack are the gnarliest young upcoming producers and remixes, their history of house party madness is the stuff of legend."

l The first Kill The Rhythm club night will run at Rehab on Thursday, April 2 from 10pm to 4am.

Its hard to believe that they only formed at the beginning of 2008, and in the space of a year have become the underground Electro scene's new ones to watch.
