Chicken Lips
Andy Meecham and Dean Meredith (Chicken Lips) have a long history having recorded together as a pair for several decades. Chicken Lips’ original approach to production led to remix work for the likes of Underworld, Playgroup, Maurice Fulton, and Justin Robertson to name but a few. Their debut album Echoman was in many ways ahead of its time, drawing on eighties NYC influences, it sounds as current now (if not more so) than it did back in 1999.

Only arriving on the scene a few years ago, Alice skirts through laid back Balearic, chuggy nu-disco and spacey dance music. She’s equally happy playing a dreamy poolside set at Pikes as she is playing punchy electronica with dirty bass-lines in a sweaty club in the early hours. Alice is a regular contributor on Brighton-based radio station 1btn.fm.
