Joker's gone major label

dis-integration [Edit] [Delete] 13:18, 18 August '10

Waaa, this is quite a big deal:
http://www.factmag.com/2010/08/18/joker-signs-deal-with-universal/

Signed a deal with pretty much the biggest publishing company in the world. I guess it seems appropriate in a week covering the genre in all its forms that one of its most promising lights peeks his head above the mainstream in a way that the genre's actually never really done before...

I just hope this doesn't signal ANY kind of watering down or pandering to mainstream expectations, cos Joker's at his best when he's most tied to his underground roots (Psychedelic Runway, the Terror Danjah collaboration Gully Goon Estate, the mad grime of Hollybrook/Gullybrook).
