INFO on TIM SHERIDAN who will be headlining the Ultraexcentric Warehouse party on Nov 22 @Rainbow

TIM SHERIDAN BIO (veryverywrongindeed / ibiza)

"PLEASE.. the tracks on your Myspace are SO good. May I have them?" - Dan Ghenacia.
"I was asked who made the most impact on me [as a DJ]. I said TIM SHERIDAN!”- Danny Tenaglia.
"The track is great. Very unique, full support"
- Sebo K.
It’s been a decades of work for one of Ibiza’s underground heroes, Tim Sheridan. From a long background of warehouses, free beach parties in Ibiza, raves at DC10 and across Europe and the UK, his Veryverywrongindeed parties and the associated record label Veryverywrongindeed Recordings, now has rave support from DJs from Dan Ghenacia to Sebo K, Laurent Garnier and Mr C. With artists like Sheridan himself, Andre Crom, King Roc, dub KULT, Spektre, the Electric Press, and a stable of underground up-and-comers like Adrian Martin (Basel), Tom Dazing (Belgium) and Richard Seeley and Josh Tweek (both UK), the label has been described as "really freaky shit - one to watch" by IDJ and its London warehouse parties were described by DJ mag as "deliciously sideways", where Mixmag calls Sheridan “king of the afterhours”.
How does Sheridan describe the sound? It’s the next move on from his earlier Ibiza free parties, a set of nights called NASTYDIRTYSEXMUSIC that Pacha Magazine described as “the biggest success story Ibiza has seen for some time”. That night went on to become a regular at Ministry, London, and one of that club’s most successful New Years Eve’s ever – bringing guests like Radio Slave, Switch, Dan Ghenacia, Paul Woolford and Mike Monday, often for their first UK big-club gigs.
But NASTYDIRTYSEXMUSIC had to end, as Sheridan explained in a post on the Faith Internet forum: "I called my last thing NASTYDIRTYSEXMUSIC simply to knock up an imaginary genre specifically to avoid being pigeonholed. It kind of worked although those who tried to copy it since have got it dead wrong. So it had to end. Same goes for Veryverywrongindeed. Does what it says on the tin. I could have gone for “ALLMYFAVOURITETUNESTHATYOURENOTSUPPOSEDTOPLAYINIBIZA' or 'WONKY-WEIRDORECORDSTHATCONFUSETHEFUCK-OUTOFYOUSOBERNEVERMINDON-KETAMINE' but you have to be descriptive AND snappy".

It’s been a huge success. From a launch tour that began with Sheridan headlining DC10 for his birthday and has since grown to another set of Ibiza free parties, an upcoming Space Ibiza gig playing back-to-back with Tenaglia and Mr C, and regular Veryverywrongindeed nights in Germany, Canada, Ireland, Switzerland, Spain, the tour has also included a tent at the UK’s Glade Festival and running the final afterhours at the Key, the closing night at one of London’s best loved venues, stopping the records only as the bulldozers started to move in outside…
What’s next? Sheridan’s DJ career has already spanned 24 years. From founding and managing the first years of a radio station, KISS FM in the north of England, to protesting so visibly against the Iraq war that he is no longer allowed to enter the US, from being the man who made London’s Ministry of Sound cool again with NASTYDIRTYSEXMUSIC and selling 17,000 copies of the compilation with the same name, Sheridan has always been a way ahead of any other fucker – as he says, he “was playing minimal and techno in Ibiza when 99% of DJs were playing bongos, flamenco and sunshine.”
But right now, Sheridan is focusing on his own productions. His most recent track, Freakshow, a collaboration with Jon Carter and spoken-word artist Ferank, was a peverse carnival-barker rant, described by DJ as “I think I saw this show at Manumission” and raved about by Chloe, Jeff Samuel, Billy Nasty and even DJs who rarely play techno like Ortzroka.
Next up is “Ghosts that live in her,” a collaboration with King Roc, remixed by Andre Crom, that Sebo K described as “great … very unique” and which Arnaud Rebotini liked so much that he offered to do a remix. And that will be followed, by the Veryverywrongindeed label, by two albums – first a live CD by one of the labels’s key acts, Spektre - Live at Glade, recorded at that festival and out in October. And following that, Sheridan will release his first compilation in three years, and the first compilation for the label in November – Tim Sheridan, Veryverywrongindeed.
