And it is going down quite well...

"This is really a wonderful breeze through the minds of two muso's given free rein to explore their vast knowledge of music. I could listen to this again tomorrow and come out a totally different yet enthusiastic review. 9/10" StevoMusicMan - October 13, 2012

"I REALLY like this release. Really feeling this big time. I am going to play this whole release on my radio show on Sonar Fm next week and write about it in my review for TLG Magazine." Rebecca Vasmant - Sonar FM / Ministry of Sound Tour / TLG Magazine

"The album is released today (15/10/2012), if you don't buy it, then shame on you!" Quantum Bleep - October 15, 2012

"Wow, what a sonic attack on the senses nothing like I have heard on a while... it is like that big gobstopper that willy wonka made in Charly and The Chocolate factory, as you suck on it you get various flavours at different times all wrapped into one. Quality. Absolutely love 'Mengi Dem Disco Leggy'!" Steve Bignell

"Tight and exquisitely arranged production sees Hey, Rube! deliver an electronic blend of dance-floor monsters and disco-style bangers, as well as beautiful downtempo compositions, g-funk'esque grooves and dub elements. For a record containing so many styles, it bonds wonderfully and takes the listener on a fantastic journey into the greater realms of contemporary electronic music." MundoVibe - October 4, 2012

Who it is

That special creole and sonic hybrid, Sheffield meets Hull, has surfaced again. A troubadour in trainers and electronic whizzer have teamed up, and not for the first time, but now under the moniker Hey, Rube! Please don't forget the punctuation it's important.

Steve Cobby, the Solid Doctor, the Fila Brazillian, and a man with four years of non-stop tunes on his hard-drive has been locked in mortal combat with Stephen Mallinder, once of Cabaret Voltaire, but always Mal to those who know. As a result a collection of tunes is forthcoming, bubbling away, not too sweet and pretty savoury.

Cobby and Mal have quite a bit of previous:

"First time I met the good Doctor was in the FON Studio with all those dubious characters of the time, he was learning his gigging chops with Bomb the Bass" (Mal).

Well as it turned out the two would continue to lock horns both in the UK, recording with both Filas under the guise of 'The Barney Mullhouse Project' (try sampling that backwards kids), and in Australia, where Mal had been deported and was running a radio station and the legendary 'Offworld' label.

Fast forward to the 21st Century and it's Hey, Rube! A rumble on the edge of town. Like Benson and Hedges they're probably bad for your long-term health, but sod it eh?
