Maurice Fulton – what a guy.

One of dance music’s most underrated heroes, Baltimore’s Maurice Fulton spins records like he’s from another planet, is incapable of being photographed without it looking like a mugshot (unless he has a hat over his eyes – see above), and released one of the last decade’s best albums in I’ve Got My Eye On You (as Syclops). He describes his working process as “sit down, smoke, get the keyboards, maybe hire a drummer or program it myself, smoke, mix it down, put it on CD, smoke, listen to it.” In short, he is a total fucking champ.

On June 21, Fulton will headline Dalston’s Dance Tunnel – the new home of FWD>>, don’t you know – for Way Back Here. Support comes from residents DJ Laizi, Shango and Anto; tickets are £4 advance and available here.
