Sometime back in 1995 Producer/Songwriter Colin “Dip” Kelday (aka SNOOG) took time out between screenings of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Strange Days, to form the band Osgoode. The group wasted no time “crashing the stereo”, starting the long-standing tradition of ducking tomatoes while spinning their ambient electronic beats at house parties – these tracks were all included on Spleener Records’ 1999 release ‘Tight In The Ear MP3’ E.P. (the single ‘Has Been’ was featured on Sony Music Canada’s 1997 release ‘DJ Iain’ Electronic Revolution’). Snoog reports it was state-of-the-art music from the get-go as Osgoode’s recordings included an Atari, 3 synths, 2 samplers and ‘a crappy mic’. (2 can play that game, Beck!) Snoog remixes have involved the likes of: Rankin Family (EMI), ORGY (Warner), Sky (EMI), Boomtang Boys (VIRGIN), and Union (Grand Family Records). In 2000, Snoog was asked to produce The Watchmen’s final record, ‘Slo Motion’ (EMI), and it was during this experience that Snoog dumped his traditional recording methods and moved into the digital realm. This led to the release of Osgoode’s ‘Right in the Ear’ E.P. in 2002 - an experimental cross-over project. In 2003, the single ‘Everyday’ ranked 246 out of 6000 alternative titles on Garageband.com, while ‘EX-L’ ranked #1 out of 4000 electronic titles. Within a few months came the writing of ‘Soundtrack of the Seventh Chapter’ - an audio journal outlining events from 1998 to 2003, about which Snoog rants ‘this is the best work I’ve done to date and I’m really excited about it.’ The single ‘Peril On Every Southward Road’ will be released on the Spleener Records and Media website in November, followed by the release of the record in December. Studio focus aside, live performance is the real point of Osgoode. Having supported acts such as Pop Will Eat Itself, Bif Naked, BTK, Boomtang Boys, Chris Connelly and others, Osgoode’s shows are a visceral experience - a multimedia acid trip that transports you to the apex of musicality - that last chance, no turning back fork in the road where beats and emotion cross paths and engage in a hand-to-hand combat called ‘the duel philosophikal.’ Exemplified by an on-stage line-up that is always changing, Osgoode guarantees a brilliant show that’s never the same way twice. Having started as 2 keyboardists, a guitarist and an MC, Osgoode now consists of Snoog and his various collaborators. Like its music, Osgoode is perpetually morphing into new dimensions, seeking to change the very fabric of your reality…
