	Turnstile (JAQ remix) Appears on The Police Box 2 » There are remixes and the are full-reimaginings: here FOUND's haunting vocal is taken and run with a mile by the Quartet's loping groove. Like getting lost in the woods, and loving it. Log in to download tracks
	Synth Like Minds (Fudge Fingas remix) Appears on The Police Box 3 » Next in this series of FOUND exclusives is Fudge Fingas' re-interpretation of Synth Like Minds. It's the most Christmassy of the series, honest... Log in to download tracks
	FND025 (7VWWVW remix) Appears on The Police Box 4 » What do yo get if you cross Sigur Ros with the soundtrack for F0 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System? Mammal's remix of FND025. (OK, I'll be amazed if this gets through the complex web of editorial taste that goes into these blurbs) Log in to download tracks
	Broken Down Cars (Fudge Fingas remix) Appears on The Police Box 5 » The second Found Can Move track remixed by Gavin from the band (aka Fudge Fingas), Broken Down Cars is the most musically up-beat of its bundle, but betrays a more tempered tone lyrically. It's one of those that can be heard both ways or either. Log in to download tracks
	Mullokian (B-Burg Remix) Appears on The Police Box 6 » For all bass-biased listeners, B-Burg adds high phat content to one of FOUND's classics. Nice track art too... Log in to download tracks
	Closed Time Like Loops (Zemeckis remix by The Blessings) Appears on The Police Box 7 » The Blessings, aka Dom Sum and FineArt, are the 'good moral people' behind urban music/art crew LuckyMe - doing here just as they say on their tin: 'taking on the odd extra-curricular remix duty'... Enjoy this colourful stroke of Luck. Log in to download tracks
	Mullokian (Dimlite's 6th Rellokian) Appears on The Police Box 8 » Another great remix. This time by Dimlite, who admirably keeps Ziggy's voice mostly in tact and builds some really interesting sounds around a whimsical yet edgy story. Log in to download tracks
	Static 68 (Cheesecake remix) Appears on The Police Box 9 » Ambition pays off in this, FOUND's 10th Ten Tracks offering. Initial electronic hip-hoppy manipulations move through clips of FOUND's earthy acoustic moments through to full, glorious melodic dance tent sound saturations, but never deserting a roots base.

FOUND Profile

Brainchild of college buddies Ziggy Campbell (lead vocals, guitar), Tommy Perman (bass guitar, synth) and Kev Sim (sampler, melodica), FOUND began life putting on many weird and wonderful events in art galleries, warehouses and even storage containers. More recently, they recruited the help of Gav Sutherland (keys, backing vocals) and Alan Stockdale (drums, percussion, live visual projection), and morphed into a formidable pop group in 2005.  More recently still, they have been working on musically responsive robots! Lend them your ears.

The band follow an almost Kraftwerk-ian method of recording – where songs are treated like scientific art experiments. They specialise in pulling sounds from their every day surroundings, cutting ’n’ pasting them into songs. Since 2005, they have consistently challenged the perceived limitations of home-recording, through a series of self-released singles and EPs - producing aurally stunning, thought-provoking-music-you-can-move-to, in exquisitely designed packaging, from the confines of their bedrooms. This is not merely self-indulgent experimentation for the sake of it, but rather vital, stimulating and (above all) fun pop music.

Their self-released debut ‘Found Can Move’ earned them an impressive amount of national radio play including support from Radio 1 DJs, Steve Lamaq, Rob Da Bank, Huw Stevens and Vic Galloway. They’ve recorded radio sessions for Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Scotland, Radio Magnetic and The Selector and back in 2006 they recorded an exclusive live session for a major US radio station in the legendary ‘Beatles Studio’ at Abbey Road. MTV Europe snapped up the videos for both their debut single ‘Mullokian’ and follow up ‘Static 68’, and the band made their debut TV appearance on BBC Scotland’s The Music Show.

Now signed to King Creosote's label, Fence Records, FOUND have a prolific output with two full length albums and six singles / EPs in the last two years, with releases on Fence Records (Scotland), Creeping Bent (Scotland) and Aufgeladen Und Bereit (Hamburg, Germany). A selection of these can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/foundtheband

FOUND have also become sought-after remixers and in the last six months have applied their creative imaginations to reworking the music of King Creosote (Warners), Make Model (EMI), Attic Lights (Island) and Au Revoir Simone (Moshi Moshi). A selection of these can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/fndrmx

Live they have built up a strong fan base across the UK and highlights of their live career to date include the BBC’s first Electric Proms, T in the Park, Triptych, the Fence Collective’s ‘Homegame’ festival, Brighton's Great Escape festival and the Connect Festival.

"their sound is so progressive, so completely unique, it’s demeaning to tie it to the stale confines of a label. Instead, we should be celebrating the euphoria created by their extraordinary kaleidoscopic soundscapes. 9/10" - Drowned in Sound
