Damian Cowell and Tony Martin. It’s a TISM front man and comedy icon’s electrobanger duo.

In the grand tradition of Groove Armada, Daft Punk, The Presets and Barlow and Chambers, Damian Cowell – the guy who pretends to be the singer of TISM – and comedy royalty Tony Martin knob twiddle their way into your nervous system.

They bumped into each other in Damian Cowell’s Disco Machine and Tony Martin’s Sizzletown, and now the world’s oldest ravers are colliding in a full-on electroclash. What can you expect from brains that gave you TISM, The Late Show, Martin Molloy and Get This? Beatz with a ‘Z’ plus reprehensibly flippant lyrics about life’s terrors.

Like two lawn bowlers wandering into a bush doof, Cowell and Martin sing, dance, do that widdly thing on their cheap synths, and embody the ancient philosophy of Fosagawi.
