Interview: Tim Simenon a.k.a. Bomb The Bass with Che in 1988

Tim Simenon a.k.a. Bomb The Bass and then collaborator DJ Merlin gave this short interview. I gather it was September 1988 and it took place in Munich. Tim was one of the early DJ-heroes coming from Britain who hit the scene with a huge bang. "This is a journey into sound" Remember these haunting words from "Beat Dis" you heard while flippin' around on the dance floor of your favorite disco? Well, that's him. Or rather Tim's booming beats and a lot of clever samples.

Associated acts and artists Tim later produced include Neneh Cherry, Depeche Mode, Jah Wobble, Sinéad O'Connor and many others. He disappeared in the mid nineties only to make short comeback in 2008. Haven't heard of him since... If you know anything, feel free to do so in the comment section!

I am not allowed to include the intermixed video clips in the original tape, so sorry. Others are obviously able to post the BtB-videos, so you just look them up yourself.
