Twentythree Records

Twentythree Records - is home to Fila Brazillia, Heights of Abraham, Mandrillus Sphynx and The Solid Doctor.

The label was founded in 1999 by Steve Cobby and David McSherry of Fila Brazillia along with Sim Lister of Heights of Abraham. From the early 90s to 1999 both Fila and Heights had been part of the distinctive Hull-based label Pork Recordings ("Pork material is always quirky and surprising, quite brilliant" DJ Magazine 1994) - before transferring their catalogues to Twentythree Records.

In 2006 Cobby and Lister went on to establish Steel Tiger Records; home to J*S*T*A*R*S and The Cutler.

Rob da Bank (BBC Radio 1) said "Beautiful! Lovin' The Cutler. Ace to hear some proper downtempo music being made again"

Fila Brazillia

"Fila Brazillia never sold in the same numbers as some of their companions in the British electronica breaks scene of the '90s, but the reason they stayed under the radar is the same reason their recordings were so good. Unlike the stadium breaks of those who went overground quickly circa 1997, Brazillia kept their music loose and free of gimmicks - in that, they were true siblings to the electronic listening music championed in the '90s by Warp." - iTunes 2006

Heights of Abraham

"Full of organic grooves that shimmer with sizzling, sax solos and haunting guitar riffs, Cobby and Lister manage to get inside your mind and soul. Their songs are warm, hypnotic and slow-burning providing the appropriate ambiance for any occassion, whether it's a social gathering, or love making." - 'Two Thousand and Six' Amazon 2006

Mandrillus Sphynx

Mandrillus Sphynx is soon to be deleted from the 23 catalogue. You can now download 'Ban Music' (720kbps - 322mb) for free from bandcamp.com

The Solid Doctor

"Solid Doctor is Steve Cobby - half of Fila Brazillia, the masters of Pork Recordings. These tracks are very phat, way large beats and some amazingly soulful samples. The 2 discs break down into very atmospheric downtempo and more dancefloor (though not your usual thumpathump techno by a long shot). Very highly recommended." - 'How About Some Ether' Amazon 1999
