Magik Dick reports for duty with his debut album, a wonderful journey through house and electronic grooves that will restore your faith in quality dance music!
Magik Johnson reports for duty with his debut album, a wonderful journey through house and electronic grooves, honed through years of stellar productions and remixes for a variety of artists and labels. 'Cardboard Journey' will restore your faith in quality dance music!
'Cardboard Journey' features the singles "Feel Alright" and "Rollergirl", two prime examples of Dick's ability to create ass shakingly, fromage-free deep house music. "Rollergirl" has been a feature of DJs sets for eons, whilst "Feel Alright" is a sleek slice of deep vocal house and has featured on house compilations on Defected and Fabric.
All tracks are recorded in Dick's New Zealand studios. 'Cardboard Journey' features a wealth of different sounds, with the highlights being the future vocal hit "Follow The Groove", the pumping electronica of "Meltdown" and the quirky Balearic beats of "Do You Like...".
Busting bold musical moves from Blackpool to Auckland NZ has made Dick "Magik" Johnson a house music heavyweight in both hemispheres. A career that started at Manchester's infamous Hacienda, where he was Saturday night resident alongside Graeme Park, has led to music productions for Cream's Olympic label, New Order's Pleasure Recordings, Paper Recordings, End Recordings, Honchos Music and Shaboom Records. Remixes for Crazy Penis, DJ Sneak, Joey Negro, Q-Burns, Human League, and Neon Heights have also been added to the 15 year old CV.
