Frankmusik AKA 22-year-old Vincent Frank might be in the studio working on his debut album with Stuart Price AKA Jacques Lu Cont but the album format was never going to be elastic enough to fit in all his musical hyper-activity.
Let him present The Heaths of Thornton (www.theheathsofthornton.co.uk) Named after the insalubrious part of Croydon Vince calls home, the website is Vince’s personal blog, where he’ll debut lots of unheard material, demos, remixes, video footage, artwork, DJ mixes; ‘everything that I have in my head’ as he puts it.
Once you’ve signed up to be a member of the club, you will be able to download for free a series of EPs. The site counts down the days, hours and second to the next one. He’ll be dipping into the hard-drive of the Apple G5 in his bedroom to post up his latest productions, studio outtakes, demos, or maybe one of his fidgit house reworkings of a classic Timbaland jam. Right now you can download his version of Omarion’s ‘Ice Box’. With a million ideas pin-balling around his musical mind expect more surprises with every EP.
Vince has remixed the likes of Telepathé and CSS lately. Sometimes he’ll remix one of his myspace friend’s tracks (in fact this is how the Telepathé remix originally came about). With Vince also lending his production and writing skills to a whole wave of new left-field pop stars like Little Boots, Tinchy Stryder and Sisley.
The Heath Of Thornton is also were Frankmusik’s Secret Liaisons are announced. The Liaisons are get togethers all over London hosted by Frankmusik on the piano, where he is joined by friends from the Heaths Of Thornton (you can request a performance on the site). The secret Liaisons take place at random settings across the capital. The next one will be at Soho’s underground burlesque bar, The Black Gardenia on August 6th. The secret Liaisons are only announced and promoted through The Heaths Of Thornton.
