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.
