WATCH
NO FACE PRODUCTIONS is the production team responsible for
all the production carried out on fas fwd entertainments
recordings. The producers (see pics) are charlie parker
(aka Four:Four) and shineye.
shineye
handles the ragga beats most of the time, but watch out for his
hiphop styles - although he is a trained musician most of his
experience has come from sound system days as operator/mixer for
Stockwell based youth sound Babyphonic. shineye set up WYNDRUSH
RECORDS in '99 and dropped 8 stinging 7 inch versions of his
riddim "Rhubarb & Custard" featuring Thunda and
other local deejays.
Since
then he has continued to run the street with The Dynasty at the
same time as building beats for the reggae industry and developing
youths around the way in local studios.
charlie
parker (aka four:four) came up as a self taught musician playing
guitar and saxophone with jazz, fusion and reggae bands, working
with reggae promotion teams (World Promotions), labels (Power
Records), artistes, and sound systems. In the late 80s he started
a pre production studio in Brixton, which quickly became a place
for upcoming and developing artistes to write, rehearse and record.
He first linked with shineye back in '93 and later they formed
WATCH NO FACE PRODUCTIONS. In 1994 he created the label
fas fwd entertainments..
Producing tunes with local artistes and pressing twelves to try
and bring in a deal wasn't happening - the industry wasn't ready.
But the love of music and the talent and creativity that was around
meant that tunes kept coming out that needing releasing - so the
label got a name and the group started to grow.
Since then he has steered the label and the group thru a catalogue
of 10 releases as well as holding up production responsibilities
with Shineye in WATCH NO FACE Productions.
