Ten Questions with Captain Tinrib as he prepares to get vicious at Innovate, London!!

Reported by Nikki S / Submitted 18-11-04 19:43

With more genre defining tunes to his name than Rik Waller’s had hot dinners and a schedule more hectic than Wayne Rooney's hometown massage parlour, The Captain managed to take 10 minutes out from his recent tour programme and production dates to answer 10 questions for the HarderFaster faithful.


First off, I have to ask, how did the name Captain Tinrib come about and did it have anything to do with the Viz Character?

Nuffin 2 do with the Viz character. He's the Captain Of The Good Ship Tinrib now!


You are synonymous with the now legendary and infamous Superfish Parties. You must have some pretty special memories from your days with the Superfish Crew. Can you fill us in on a few of the high-notes and tell us what it was that made those parties so special?

One of the highest notes, as I'm sure many of you will agree, was when the fireworks went off at the end of The Captain Tinrib Live Show on our 4th Birthday party at the fridge. The whole club was in one of those very rare euphoric moments. Amazing stuff!

Captain Fishin


There seems to have been a recent spate of some of the older London promotions such as Pickle and Pendragon getting back together and doing joint re-union parties. If the circumstances were right, do you ever think that the Superfish team will get back together again to unleash their inimitable style of partying on London's new generation of clubbers?

If you remember, we did our 6th Birthday back in August at the Antiworld Indoor Festival and FISH! in Bournemouth the week before. So, you'll find we're not partied out yet and still going but only now and again, keeping it special.


As the Captain you must have travelled to play at some far-out, exotic places. Where is the most interesting place that you have played and what made it stand out from all of the others?

There are many interesting places we've visited for different reasons... Too many to list. I'd say that the Deep Down Under Ozzy Parties always go off and the scenery is something else!!! My next ozzy gig is in Cairns this December. The home of Nemo on the reef.

Captain Surfer


Are there still any places that you would really like to play that you haven't done so yet?

Would dream to do a full tour of every country in South America!


During your time running and producing on the Tinrib label you were responsible for some of the most Innovative and defining tracks of a clubbing generation, most of which still regularly get played by top DJ's today and a lot of which are collectors’ items in their own right. (Tinrib 11– Don’t Stop recently sold on eBay for £50!!) Tracks such as "Get down 2000" which inspired Ian M’s “Crazy Pills”, the recently re-mixed "Street Tab, "Blue Oyster" and your re-mixes for other labels such as Sperminator's - "No women Allowed" and Commander Tom's - "Eye BM". Oh, and how could we forget Tinrib 11 - The legendary "Don't Stop" (my all time favourite tune) which has just received a vicious re-mix by Nick Sentience and is due for release on the Tinrib Gets Vicious Label.

It's fair to say that you definitely have your own distinctive sound when it comes to your production. How long did it take you to develop that sound, can you define that sound, and does it flatter you have inspired so many DJs & producers?


It developed from the beginning I guess. The day I bought some analogue gear such as the MS20, 303s & Jupiter 8 helped move me on. I guess it can be described as containing the fattest noise within the speakers bandwidth without blowing anything!!!! It does flatter me yes, I just do it for fun! Hard to believe a hobby can get this far.

Captain Karate


You recently decided that the Tinrib label had run it's course and that you would now only produce for other labels. This must have been a very hard decision for you to make. What was your thinking behind the decision and where do you see yourself going from here?

We got fed up of doing the same thing, chasing the same people day in and day out keeping the ship afloat there in London. My missus and me had a son, Harrison and we decided London wasn't the place for it. Hence the end of the label..... for now!!!!!


How did the link up with Paul Glazby's Vicious Circle label come about and why did you choose them to work with?

Quite a weird one really - very jet set!!! Just got off a plane from Los Angeles, changing planes to fly to Tokyo for the next gig with none other than Paul Glazby. We got on really well. On the same boat, different ship! Hence the work with them now.

Captain Serious


You are playing for Innovate at the Fridge on the 20th of November as a part of the "Captain Tinrib gets Vicious Tour" and performing one of your now infamous Live Stage shows. I remember recently seeing you open up with a version of "Hey Mickey". What is it that you do so differently that makes your shows so memorable and where do you get your inspiration from?

Anywhere and everywhere!!!! There's always something we see or do on our sailing around the world. Its nice to incorporate this into what we do live. Halloween has been order of the day lately. On to Xmas. Then.... U2 - New Years Day. And a happy new year to you 2!


Do you have anything special in store for Innovate @ The Fridge on the 20th of November?

Big surprises always in store, behind the door! Live percussion from Chris Edwards will be aiding our groove. We'll maybe throw in a bit of classical music. Who knows. You'll have to get down the disco to find out!!! See ya there I hope. Da Skippwhore. X

Thanx to The Captain!

Captain Tinrib! what a legend! I still remember buying tinrib 01 years and years ago. A defining moment in my record buying career and taste in music! Gutted I can't go as I am playing up in birmingham, but if you miss opportunity to see the captain live then you should check yourself into the nearest hospital for a check up as quickly as possible!
