Remember the white labels of creamers mix of hide u dropping everyone scrambling around record stores hunting copies, I found a store in the middle of Cheshire that had one left. Boss's tune, boss times
@@muzikxpress back then it was harder to find tracks, but the thrill of the hunt was ace. Bet every record store had people coming in on Mondays humming some track that had been getting played. This was in all the taste makers record boxes for weeks before the whites dropped. We've gained so much with the accessibility of music, but there are little romances that are lost
@@alansouthall8221 spot on! We used to go to a weekly sunday night event here in edinburgh then when the club closed at 3am we’d party until 9am when the record shop opened and go out of our heads to it searching for the tunes we’d heard!! Good times
A great memory... I knew Sian before she made it with kosheen. And we was walking home through a tunnel near a pub we drank in with her then boyfriend jake and she sang song for the siren. It echoed beautifully down the tunnel. And I sung with her. Great lil mem. Also there were drum n bass nights down the trinity where Sian started to sing with many others. Amazing nights.
I used to hate “Hide U” when i was very young in the 2000 and i never understood back then why it became #1 hit in my country but when i grew up i started to understand why this track is so special. What an amazing voice and artist! Thank you Twan for the interview.
Every dnb dj dropped that track to death before it even came out. I still don’t like that track because of how fast it was played out.kosheen has better tracks imo
Was 11 years old when I heard Hide U (twas the John Creamer & Stephane K remix cos that was the one in the charts) & honestly something about that track stuck in my memory all throughout these years...to this day I still play it in the car every so often The song (both the original & remix) introduced me to the world of electronic tunes (drum & bass, house, techno etc.) admittedly at a young age I guess 😅 Sian comes across as a truly decent person in fairness and am glad to hear she's still touring (Sian - if you're reading this, pls pls come to Ireland if you have any future gigs lined up, it would honestly make our day! 🙏) Great interview thank you! 👌
For sure, I love “You’re Not Alone”, but Olive is not really touring and unfortunately I do not have a travel budget for these interviews since this is “just” a hobby for me.
Loved this. I was well underway as dnb dj when kosheen came out. She is right dnb needed a voice of emotion during that period of time. Kosheen was a big hit on dnb dance floors. I still have their ep, hide u and slip and slide on vinyl. Teaming up with substance and decoder was a good choice. Solid and legendary production team.
Oh yes. Hide U. I remember I heard it first time very well. It was the spring of 2001. At that time we had cool radio-show here called MTV Dancefloor chart. It was mainly commercial dance music. But most of it was pretty cool. Becuase it was a times when even commercial dance music was cool ha ha. And there was premiere of this track. I remember I thought that the vocalist has great voice and also I thought that this is DnB but it sounds really commercial. I never heard something like this before. i think this tune was the beginning of the era of the commercial DnB. All in all great classic tune & golden times. Thank you for another great interview Twan!
Wow Amazing Interview mate abd i love Sian Shes amazing singer and songwriter ❤ And shes Absolutely beautiful and i love her track Hide U The Stephen K And John Creamer Remix is my absolute Favourite and Catch As Well And The Drunlm And Bass Mix of Hide U is ace to 👍🏻
Another great interview about a classic everyone knows! And you even got a Ferry Corsten mention (not surprising hahah)! I forgot he remixed Catch. Seeing him in Washington DC next week for another What the F show, will have to send in a request. 😀
I would love to sit down and have a coffee with her just to hear her speak, she’s the kind of person that would keep you entertained for hours and you don’t have to say anything ❤
I met her once at Glastonbury 2004 when she almost confiscated a Djembe I'd bought because it was raining and it was outside for no longer than 2 minutes. After a brief argument she left me alone. She was in the campsite next to us. In the evening we went across and joined them and it emerged she was this famous vocalist for Kosheen. Very down to earth lady. She gave my girlfriend a set of bangles. Luv and Peace.
I remember a bootleg that Tiesto used to play back at 2001 with the vocals of Hide U and th track Flight 643, awesome bootleg, too bad never got a official release.
I love this brilliant artist with all my ❤️ Thank you, Twan for the opportunity to see Sian! @Massive Attack, you losing a lot... 😁 My warmest regards to Sian ❤️ Sending my huge Love! Maybe in future, it would be lovely if you guys, could sit and talk about "Kokopelli" one of the most underrated album of all times! ❤️
Thanks a lot Fred, glad you enjoyed it! :) FYI, I don't do interviews about albums, I focus on interviews about 1 single track / classic / hit from the past ;-)
@howareyou857 She thinks she founded Kosheen! She was just the vocalist who joined later... she isn't really Kosheen... She never wrote the music, just lyrics I believe. Markee Ledge signed my vinyl sleeve of Kokopelli and HE was the founder of Kosheen.
The power of the remix. Surprised not more was mentioned about the John Creamer and Stephane K remix, seeing as that really propelled “Hide U” success. Speaking of which, I would love to hear an interview with Timo Maas and Azzido Da Bass, about “Dooms Night”. It would be verrrry interesting to hear both sides of that story!
Thanks for your comment! And we spoke a little bit about that remix, however, not sure what else I should have asked her about that remix, since Sian isn't the one who did remix the track right? ;-) FYI, I only do interviews about originals, not about remixes. Most artists rather talk about their own work instead of a remix they did for someone else. Plus the stories behind originals are for me more interesting compared to stories about remixes. I'm not sure how much I can ask about a remix and the story behind it, since it is usually a remix request that comes in from the record company and that's about it ;-) Doesn't mean I don't like those remixes, but for my channel I'm afraid it is just not interesting enough. And when I see how much time I'm spending on these vlogs, I rather keep the focus on originals like I'm doing now ;-) And.... last but not least..... I do not have a travel budget for these vlogs. As far as I know both Azzido Da Bass and Timo Maas live in / near Hamburg, which is almost a 5 hour drive from where I live. I simply don't have a budget for trips like that, sorry! You can check the pinned post on my Muzikxpress Facebook page where I explain what I do and what I can't do regarding interviews. Thanks for your understanding :)
I agree with everything she says except pineapple on pizza ;D. Just been having a kosheen renaissance travelling around Spain. Love the lyrics to empty skies.
Thanks for your comment! However, I'm not really looking for suggestions at the moment. When you check the pinned post on my Muzikxpress Facebook page you can see what I do and can't do regarding interviews. I have a loooong wish list with more than 50 people still, so plenty of ideas, but unfortunately a very small travel budget and also time is a bit of an issue, since this is "just" a hobby for me. Thanks for your understanding!
Not really, their tracks "Catch", "Hungry" and "All In My Head" did pretty well in the charts too. Okay, not as huge as "Hide U", but definitely not a one hit wonder.
Remember the white labels of creamers mix of hide u dropping everyone scrambling around record stores hunting copies, I found a store in the middle of Cheshire that had one left.
Boss's tune, boss times
That’s so cool! I hope you still have that white label!

Remember this track echoing around Creamfields. Felt like every tent played it
Great tune. Great vocal
Now this is a proper classic. They don't get better than this. What a vocal! Go Sian!

Great interview thank you! 👌
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
With a name like Sian Evans how did I not know she was Welsh?? Lovely interview. Great stuff mate.
Thanks so much Danilo!
Out of my way, I'm running, I'm gonna catch you if I can, what an amazing track and the vocals are just perfect... 👌👌👍👍😍😍
If you haven't already heard it, Sian's collaboration with Bent on the album Arials is just incredible, one of my all time favourite records.
Ah thank you for the recommendation, will check it out for sure!
Wow x thanks x
@@KosheenOfficial My pleasure, I absolutely adore that album.
Bent, Ariels
Olive - Not Alone was another great song-based D'N'B track. First one I heard on daytime radio. Would make another cool vlog.
For sure, I love “You’re Not Alone”, but Olive is not really touring and unfortunately I do not have a travel budget for these interviews since this is “just” a hobby for me.

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the interview! And same for me, this was one of the first DnB tracks I've heard on radio for sure :)
I like this interview with Sian Evans . THX
Thank you so much!
Thank you both for a great interview. Learnt so much. My favourite female vocalist and writer.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the interview!
Fantastic Interview its so good to hear these singers and thank you so much and keep the interviews going man 😊👍🏻
Thank you so much!!
Wow Amazing Interview mate abd i love Sian Shes amazing singer and songwriter ❤ And shes Absolutely beautiful and i love her track Hide U The Stephen K And John Creamer Remix is my absolute Favourite and Catch As Well And The Drunlm And Bass Mix of Hide U is ace to 👍🏻

catch you was also epic one
Nice interview! I can’t remember ever seeing an interview with Kosheen, but I do remember going to a DnB party at the Melkweg after this became a hit.
Thanks a lot Dominic! :)
it isn't Kosheen anymore.
Omg so glad you covered this gem 🙌.
Great, I hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for another great interview!
Glad you enjoyed it Nico! :)
I have an old Roland JP8000 synthesizer which I bought from kosheen many, many years ago. Often wondered was it used on any of their tracks.
thank you for your work. Such a classic song, good choice !
Thanks a lot Marc! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff as always Twan. Thank you.
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Hell yeah! Looking forward to this one 🎶
Amazing woman! Great singer, ❤
I remember a bootleg that Tiesto used to play back at 2001 with the vocals of Hide U and th track Flight 643, awesome bootleg, too bad never got a official release.
Ah same! I forgot about that one!
Awesome Twan! Keep it up!! Loved this one!! One of the other producers of Kosheen is still producing techno under the name Dubspeeka. Awesome stuff!
Thank you so much! And thanks for letting me know, will check that out!
Great work!
Thank you!!
Cheers for insisting on the Acapella inclusion Sian, I remember remixing Hide U on my PS2 in the early 00's, great vocal to work with.
Twenty well-spent minutes, thank you both! Hope to hear Sian in Croatia this September...
Thank you! And fingers crossed for you!
We were in Croatia one year ago! in September x
@@KosheenOfficial Oh, wow, a year just passed me by, it seemed like a long wait, shame on me!
Love her voice ❤️
She's great isn't she? Hope you enjoyed the interview!
@@muzikxpress have had kocheens main tunes on vinyl n loved them since I was a teenager....time goes too quick
🥰
If I ever produce a tune I'd love Sian on vocals
I love this brilliant artist with all my ❤️
Thank you, Twan for the opportunity to see Sian!
@Massive Attack, you losing a lot... 😁

@@KosheenOfficial 😍
She was just the singer nothing more. She isn't Kosheen. Tribute act now.
Sian has an amazing voice, thanks enjoyed this.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
horrible individual though. Ignores fans etc.
@@thesoundlikechameleons2082 oh. I am surprised.

I didn't think it was possible to love Sian more! I think I love her more than my husband 🤣🤣
John creamer and Stephane k remix was the one 🤌
I enjoyed the interview Twan, she's a really cool woman 😎
Thank you Scott!
What is your favorite Kosheen track?
Hide U, Catch and Hungry but if there was one it would be Slip n Slide (Suicide), probably the strongest of their singles.
Apart from the usual suspects, Face In The Crowd is also a nice song.
Slip n Slide (Suicide)
Very hard choice but 'Face in the crowd' might just take it.
Catch. And the video is amazing.
Kosheen is amazing, OMG I cannot believe she wrote Rita Ora's banger, HOT RIGHT NOW, a great song, Kosheen I love you, from England ❤❤❤❤❤❤🙌🙌
Pretty cool right??
@@muzikxpress AWESOME! 😍👍👌🙌
🥰
Were.
Kosheen no longer exist.
One of the best voices ever. Theres something about Welsh women
Thank you x
very average
😍
She’s cool AF. Gutted I never seen them live!
I have Remixes on Cd
there are 6 versions on it,
one of them by Sister Bliss from Faithless,
but best version is by John Creamer & Stephane K
Small correction, the remix is done by both Rollo & Sister Bliss Remix ;-) (I'm a big fan of Rollo, so hey, you need to mention him haha)
@@muzikxpress I know its Rollo but I just shortened to Sister Bliss because her name is more in public .
How about a interview with DJ Ghost? He has many classics. : )

Man a collab with Massive Attack would be…. Massive! 😅
😂 🥁
What’s the name of her bed&breakfast ‼️⁉️
Sea View in Laugharne
talk about one hit wonders
Not really, their tracks "Catch", "Hungry" and "All In My Head" did pretty well in the charts too. Okay, not as huge as "Hide U", but definitely not a one hit wonder.
she is nothing NOW. Just a poor tribute act. Kosheen are no more
:)
Where is her BNB? That would be cool to visit her.
I think she's keeping it a bit low key / secret ;-) I guess people will find out once they booked it :)
@@muzikxpress Sadly. :( But yes, I got her point of view. :)
Sea View, Laugharne
@@howareyou857 Thank you!
got sick of this track got over played everywhere here
Try to listen it with good quality speakers.. and loud..
