Si Begg (DJ) + Tomographer (VJ) Live @ Spitz, London

Si Begg

Toying incessantly with genre conventions, Begg's bass heavy tunes span the dance music spectrum; from breaks & electro funk to techno and UK Garage.

To wean himself off a teenage diet of prog rock, electro and free jazz, Begg joined the notorious Cabbage Head collective in the early '90s, working with noted dance producers like Cristian Vogel, with whom Begg formed the Mosquito label.

Since 1994 Si has released a deluge of tracks, recording as Cabbageboy, Bigfoot, Buckfunk 3000, SI Futures and under his own name on labels such as Ninja Tune, Chrome, Mille Plateaux, Tresor, Eukatech, Language, Mute and his own Mosquito and Noodles imprints. Solo albums include Director's Cut and (as SI Futures) The Mission Statement. Crammed label subsidiary Language issued the debut Buckfunk 3000 EP toward the end of 1996 and the 1997 Buckfunk 3000 LP First Class Ticket to Telos was followed by a Si Begg full-length for Caipirinha - the 1998 Commuter World. His plethora of remixes include Sven Vath, Leftfield, DJ Rush and Sigue Sigue Sputnik!
