Hazed is the aftermath of a chance meeting in late 1993 at the legendary Simons in Gainesville, Florida. Here amongst an all-star cast, Rabbit in the Moon's David Christophere bumped into Nick Simpson --- the man who with Richard Brown (of Swag, Cherry Bomb fame) was half of seminal Warp Records act "Rhythm Invention".
Soon thereafter a modest handful of unique, electrifying tracks were finished which would slowly see the light of day over the course of the next seven (!) years. First was the now classic "Bells" EP* on Richie Hawtin's Plus 8 label from Canada. Next was the "Disconnected" EP here on Hallucination Recordings.
Since then, Nick has since been back in Leeds, UK where he has recorded as "Slick n' Flash" with Ralph Lawson for Phono and 20/20 Vision Recordings. The most recent work as Slick n’ Flash is their remix of David Christophere’s “Lift” project on Hallucination Limited. David has continued to be the driving force behind one of America's most intriguing and dynamic production outfits, Rabbit in the Moon.
We can only hope a twist of fate may pair them again to realize their resonating vision of house and techno, but for now we continue to groove the resonating rhythms of those classic sessions.
