Part man, part machine, part cockatiel, Cage & Aviary take flights of fancy whenever they can. Jamie Paton is a DJ, a one-finger keyboardist, and a pot-tickler. Nigel of Bermondsey is a musician, South London’s finest oscillator, and a dedicated dabbler. Together they are winners of the cosmic lottery. Having put out releases to mini acclaim on the ltd editions that are Dissident Distribution, they are now set to spread their wings with new ventures forthcoming on Paris-based Astro Lab Recordings, London’s Tiny Sticks, and NYC’s mighty DFA. In amongst all of the above, the duo have taken it upon themselves to remix six cherry-picked artists and release each as part of a series on their own label, The Walls Have Ears. Taking inspiration from early 12” dance records, each record will feature a vocal mix and a dub on the flip-side - the first of which is their take on Bow Mods - Country Girls. Jamie heard them play the original live on 6Music and was so impressed he hunted them down; from here the idea took off. The Bow Mods love the remix so much that it appears in a cameo role at the end of the video to their new single ‘seventeen weeks’.
