LA Synthesis

Real Name:Anthony Gallagher & Carl Grant
Profile:LA Synthesis were formed in South London in 1992. Originally from Liverpool and Birmingham, respectively, Tony Gallagher and Carl Grant met on the fringes of the underground party scene in South East London. Discovering a shared and relatively eclectic pool of influences in common - ranging from Model 500 and Black Dog to Kraftwerk and systems composer Steve Reich - the pair began experimenting with their own tracks, though it wasn't until promotional copies of Agrophobia began to emerge towards the end of 1994 that the duo started to attract attention.

TORQUE23, Jun 11, 2003

One of the chaps from LA Synthesis worked in a second hand hi fi shop just down the road from me.
They got themselves into a shady contract with Mr C and were not treated that well, pity coz with a little more dosh behind them they could have carried on. Everything they did release was truly superb, and that agraphobia is one of my favourite records, although I still dont actually own a copy.

They wont release anything now, I think the last release was on CARL COXs label, which has a wicked track on the B SIDE co-produced by TOM MIDDLETON. They also contributed a track to Rosss label, district SIX.

Anyone into the detroit sound should check these guys, theres one release on the Evolution label that has a track called Harmonic Dissembly, if ever you hear the Jedi Knights play out your bound to hear them drop this - serious electro for the dancefloor!!!!!!!!!!
