Matt Cargill Shares His Bakerโ€™s Dozen with Theย Quietus

The Quietus has published a Bakerโ€™s Dozen interview with Matt Cargill, leader of UK experimental collective Sly & The Family Drone. Speaking with Jon Buckland, Cargill discusses 13 records that shaped his musical life, spanning free jazz, hip-hop, horror soundtracks, noise, and pop. His first selectionโ€”Jive Bunny and the Mastermixersโ€™ Jive Bunny: The Albumโ€”leads into a discussion of sampling, mashups, plunderphonics, and the cassette collages that informed the earliest version of Sly & The Family Drone.

The Quietus is 18!, as ever it feels absolutely nuts that I've been doing this job for such a long time, especially as given the media landscape / ad collapse / AI / mainstreamification of culture it has become harder each year.

"But you're most likely to have caught him, stripped down to his tighty-whities, balancing precariously atop an amp stack, yelling the immortal words 'WE'RE SLY AND THE FAMILY DRONE THANK YOU VERY MUCH!' as his band reach a cacophonous crescendo beneath him." Matt Cargill's Favourite Albums:

This is actually quite beautiful to read and i'm very humbled to be asked to talk about music, but there's a lovely write up here that Jon has summarised nicely - you forget how many projects and great festivals and wonderful people i've met through being able to do this for nearly 20 years. ๐Ÿ–คโœจ

Sly & The Family Drone's With Love keeps refining its raw and uncompromising free jazz, and Ethio-jazz meets post-rock, drone, and doom metal's dense walls of sound, often collapsing into chaotic, noisy freak-out. My review for Salt peanuts: salt-peanuts.eu/record/sly-t...
