Felix Dickinson – Influences

We managed to sit down Felix Dickinson and give us all in insight into the influences that drive the man behind a myriad of musical aliases; Foolish and Sly & LHAS Inc. to name a couple. Felix has managed to stay as relevant today as he ever has been through his continued dedication to music and dancing, releasing on numerous labels across the years including his own – Cynic Music.
Using the power of youtube, Felix takes us through the sounds of Talking Heads and Da Posse via the days of the Tonka Soundsystem and Disco Dub Band.
One of the first bands I got obsessed about as a kid, I got recordings of all their early albums off my older brothers and used to strut around listening to them on my walkman as a young lad, much to the derision of the other kids at school, until ‘Road To Knowhere’ (one of my least favourite tracks) got in the charts and I became the cool kid at school for a week. I’d never heard anything like this as a kid, and guess it was probably my first introduction to disco or new wave or whatever you want to call it.
