Spinning Wheel

Killing Joke bassist and award winning producer, Youth’s eagerly awaited debut solo album. ‘Spinning Wheel’, written, recorded and self-produced in Spain and London, features eleven brand new songs including the eponymously titled lead single which also features Simon Tong (guitar) and Samantha Marais (backing vocals).

Youth has been there, seen it and done it. He has produced albums by the biggest superstars on the planet such as Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd, cult stars such as the Jesus and The Mary Chain, reggae legends like Toots and The Maytals. A founder member of Killing Joke via blissed-out ambient and acid house and the mainstream of Crowded House and The Verve to pure pop. He’s also been a member of The Orb, Brilliant and Blue Pearl played bass for Kate Bush, and remixed everyone from U2 to Siouxsie & The Banshees, De La Soul, A Guy Called Gerald, Malcolm McLaren and Marc Almond. He continues to influence generations of producers and musicians and is without doubt one of the most adaptable and diverse musical figures of the modern age.
