John Gosling (aka Mekon) the English big beat/industrial musician and electronica producer, is set to launch his new label Hua Hua (pronounced wah wah) with an 11-track compilation album this July. A quick scan at some of the featured artists showcases a line up of legends - eighties rap sensation Schooly D sitting alongside Primal Scream mainstay Bobby Gillespie and John's recently departed punk hero Alan Vega - even Roxy Music's saxophonist and founder member Andy Mackay makes an appearance. And while John's electronic alter ego Mekon is always on hand to remix and arrange, he's far from the only producer behind the proverbial wheel. Gosling is well known as a member of both Psychic TV and Coil (for the album Transparent). Gosling founded the groups Zos Kia with John Balance and Bass-o-Matic with William Orbit before recording as Mekon. He has also remixed under the name Sugar J. And that's before we get to the fact that he has soundtracked some of the most forward-thinking fashion shows in the world - crafting the soundscapes for Alexander McQueen shows since the show Dante in 1996. Firstly working hand in hand with the late great Lee "Alexander" McQueen, then with his successor Sarah Burton. In the mid-to-late-nineties he was a core member of the group Agent Provocateur along with Matthew Ashman (originally of Bow Wow Wow), Dan Peppe, Danny Saber (of Black Grape) and Cleo Torez. He has also worked with artists such as Roxanne Shanté ('Yes Yes Y'All'), Marc Almond ('Delirious'), and Afrika Bambaataa. His third album "Something Came Up" featured artwork by Alexander McQueen. John is as passionate about Suicide and Alan Vega and what he describes as "the new stuff". Besides, he says, "that's how people listen to music now. I think kids - my kids anyway - listen right across the board. People don't see genres anymore. So it's my definition of good music." It's safe to say that this is very much Volume 1. "Yes, it doesn't cover everything and Volume 2 will be completely different."
