The Man from UNKLE

James Lavelle is a music producer from across the pond that is responsible for giving us DJ Shadow’s album “Entroducing” with his little label Mo Wax Records. The label also produced such records as Dr. Octagon's 1996 record Dr. Octagonecoloyst. The project that absolutely blew my mind was Unkle’s Psyence Fiction. One of my favorite tracks being the one he did with Richard Aschcroft from The Verve, the ending to this day gives me goose bumps.

UNKLE - Lonely Soul

He has collaborated with many well known artists including Thom Yorke, Autolux, Mike D, Massive Attack, Josh Homme and the list goes on and on. James’s wife Lorna Lavelle and someone named Blonde have a documentary called “The Man from UNKLE” in pre production and some footage has been released. It covers James Lavelle and his interesting life that he has led and the amazing musical projects he has been behind. The trailer is just a taste and leaves me wanting more
