Dave Jay has spent much of the last two decades working for record labels such as Suburban Base, Freskanova and Acid Jazz alongside US majors such as Atlantic imprint Big Beat, whilst remixing acts as diverse as East 17 & The Freestylers. In 2001 he signed to Madonna's Maverick Records as a member of Soul Hooligan, and contributed to TV and movie soundtracks such as Austin Powers:Goldmember & Six Feet Under. Dave subsequently left Soul Hooligan, but resumed recording in 2005 and has since provided vocals for Andy Lewis' first two albums and collaborated with DJ Ray Mang (DFA/Mangled) whilst setting up his new music project, Twisted Tongue, alongside co-producer/engineer Mark Dalton. As inspiration for their debut album, Mark & Dave decided to return to their musical roots, mining the spirit of 70's P-funk (Funkadelic) & psyche soul (Charles Stepney), as well as early 80's influences such as electrofunk (West Phillips, Junie Morrison) and the Minneapolis sound (Morris Day, The Time), mixing in distinctly modern production techniques to create a style that sits halfway between Pigeonhed & Gnarls Barkley. Their debut single, 'Got A Really Good Thing', is somewhat of an anomaly on the album, forsaking the p-funk vibe altogether and instead taking an approach not dissimilar to that strain of 80's UK groups who co-opted classic soul and somehow twisted it into a distinctly British, regional sound (bands such as Soft Cell and Dexy's Midnight Runners).
