POCKETKNIFE
The Pocketknife moniker began as an alias to release white label 12” remix records in the mid-2000s on my Flagrant Fowl imprint. The success of “Tambourine Dream” (an indie folk remix project) led to a steady stream of commissioned remixes for the likes of Adele, Lykke Li, Paul Weller, The Temper Trap and many more. I would later go on to work closely with the friends of late downtown luminary Arthur Russell, mixing and remixing their musical projects. Some of these projects were later released on my imprint, Wilde Calm Records.
