Perhaps the slickest funk/soul group of the mid-’80s and one of the UK’s finest musical exports, Loose Ends and Carl McIntosh weren’t just the bomb in ‘85 - they’ve gone on to influence countless of today’s dance producers and DJs around the world.

A master of songwriting and laying down the groove, Carl sits down at the 2006 Red Bull Music Academy and reps for the old school style of melody and harmony. Although he is a fond advocate of the sample and hold approach to making tunes, in Carl’s opinion the modern-day over-dependence on samples is like giving running spikes to a lame man.
