All about this artist
Biography:
This electro revivalist production/remix team was formed in Greenwich, London, England in 1997 by Dr. D-Lorean (born Simeon Bowring), D-Zine, and Matt Early. The three members had previously played with the UK outfits D*Note and Apollo 440, and inaugurated A1 People as an outlet for their own music.
The trio debuted with the old school singles "Goin' Down" and "Do It", and the 1998 album, Fresh Juice. In addition to their work with A1 People, Early recorded material as Hardbag and Funky Wogan, and Bowring as Pentatonik, Troubleshooter and Pentaura.
The Visit EP, released in 2001, erred towards funk, and prompted the departure of Early for the more old school Dub Marines. Guitarist Kid Wax (b. Tom Crook), an occasional live collaborator over the previous few years, joined Bowring and D-Zine as a full-time member on the following year's "Casio Rock", a track that saw A1 People returning to the sound of their debut album and paying explicit homage to early synthesizer technology.
Fitting in nicely with the resurgence of electro on the club scene, the trio's second album included further self-explanatory tracks as "Crazy Electro Music", "Detroit Style", and "Rhythm Machine".
