MAX SEDGLEY

Max Sedgley's career to date has been a tale of unabashed talent, irregular bouts of what Hollywood folk like to call serendipity and bloody hard work.
That the man behind Happy, one of this century's most enduring clarion calls, is blessed with an uncanny knack for fashioning infectious, dancefloor-slaying nuggets goes without saying.
Happy, originally finished five years ago, "on the night Bush was elected for the first time", helped kick the door down – the disparate likes of Mr Scruff, Gilles Peterson, Erol Alkan and Pete Tong were all key early adopters, the DJs at Radio 1 were all over it like a bad rash – it even beat lad's mag favourite Rachel Stevens in one tune of the week poll - and the venerable 'Whispering' Bob Harris caught the buzz on Radio 2.
The track of course went onto soundtrack the exploits of Wayne Rooney and company when ITV used it as their main theme for Euro 2004 and after spending 10 weeks being played at Radio 1 reaching the Top 30, it went on to sell a staggering 25,000 copies.
However, Mr Sedgely is no one-trick pony: From The Roots To The Shoots ("It's something which represents my old school influences in the roots and then the shoots is the modern, the colourful and contemporary) is clear evidence of that. It's a joyous listen; an album enthralled by the possibilities of sound and an album that's bought the party hats and the jelly and ice cream.
From the unpretentious and updated synth-pop of I've Been Waiting to the fractured funk and broken electro of Déjà Vu by way of the deep, Joe Claussell-like, rhythms of Ego Spiritual, this is the album George Clinton would have made if he had been a white South Londoner with a disco fixation.
Funky to the core, Celebrity – a commentary on sections of contemporary society – gives a clue to what electroclash could have sounded like if it hadn't lost its rhythmical roots, and Slowly, with it's mood enhancing orchestral strings, makes the prospect of a trip hop revival not such a hideous vision.
Live it sounds like the best disco workout. Max and his band popped their cherry at last year's Bestival and this year will see more Funkadelic-inspired groove-ins.
Max Sedgley is a man who won't be denied. With Max in control, the beat will always go on.
