about

The first 2 tracks of this collection are sides 1 and 2 of the original Cassette release, tracks 3-6 are the main tracks appearing on side A.

This was originally a cassette only release in 1993, the first album by Non Bossy Posse. The album was created by recording live several shows and then going into the studio and literally with a knife cutting the best bits out of the tape reel and splicing the ends back together. The cuts were at a 45 degree angle so as to get a slight blend in the audio. The band on synths and samplers were unsunk. Fingersynking was the way we rolled.

This is the track listing for the original side 1 and 2 of the Cassette release...

A brief history of Non Bossy Posse...

In 1991/92 a community Anarchist Punk collective called Jellyheads were putting on events at their Wellington St, Chippendale space ( now Serial space in 2016 ) in inner city Sydney. As electro and hip hop entered the musical equation, musicians associated with the collective started experimenting with samples and electronic sounds. Mahatma Propagandi were doing this and eventually joined members of Fred Nihilists to form the group Non Bossy Posse.

Non Bossy Posse were the bridge between Punk and Techno in 1993 in Sydney, well at least the politics of punk, maybe not so much the sound of Punk, although definitely some of the chaos. Not all in the Sydney Punk scene agreed, I remember seeing some graffiti in Sydney Park that exclaimed “Kill all Non Bossy Raver Scum”, oh well, you can't please everybody.

The band dragged kicking and screaming anarchist and anti authoritarian themes into techno music. At best it was unsequenced mayhem, the only rule being the B.P.M. This the band agreed on for the various tracks that focused on themes like indigenous rights, anti capitalism, saving the forests and protecting the earth. Everything else was pretty much random, each player mostly on samplers had a library of loops and sounds at the ready to drop into the mix at any given moment.

Live gigs could soar to great spontaneous heights but could just as easily descend into clashing beats, sounds and out of control synths.

This 1993 cult cassette release, 'Saboteurs Of The Big Daddy Mind Fuck' was a share household must have release. After this release NBP's sounds became more sequence based towards the end of their reign as can be heard with their 'Activista' release ( also on the Arythmetek Bandcamp page ) and with the band/record label that followed, Organarchy Sound System.

Non Bossy Posse were a regular live act at Vibe Tribe and other underground dance events in the early to mid 90's, the band were more prolific with live shows than in the studio.
