Duncan Gray-LDN (Tici Taci/Sons of Slough)
With nearly three decades of production experience behind him, Duncan Gray can be considered a veteran producer and DJ. His first vinyl label was started in 1997 (Scatolological), he is best known these days for establishing the tici taci label with help from the late great Andrew Weatherall. Tici Taci has more than 100 releases and celebrated it's 10th year as a label in 2023 with a lot of special releases.
Over the years Duncan has released tracks that have proved widely popular with DJs ranging from the Guv himself through to mainstream crowd pleasers like Boy George. As one half of seminal early 2000s electro band Sons of Slough, Duncan played many live shows as well as DJing around Europe and the US, and released records on a wide variety of labels including Skint. In recent times he's played as far abroad as Australia, and has remixed the likes of Primal Scream, David Holmes, Red Snapper, Yothu Yindi, and Andrew Weatherall. He also played guitar on a number of remixes by AW, and regularly contributes guitar and bass parts to a host of producers worldwide.
In recent times he has partnered with Sean Johnston as "Hardway Brothers meet Monkton Uptown" : a mostly dub-based remix project which has also led to the pair DJing together.
Last year (2023) Duncan and Ian Weatherall ressurected the Sons of Slough for the 10th Convenanza festival in Carcassonne in honour of Ian's late brother, and are playing more Live shows in 2024.
