About Me |
|
| Trevor Jackson is a London based creative, working in many fields including graphic design, art direction, moving image,
composing, remixing and production, installations and performance.His career began in the early 90's forming the design company BITE IT! creating record covers for early dance and hip hop
releases for the likes of STEREO MC'S, JUNGLE BROTHERS and TODD TERRY. He was selected for 1990's CREATIVE FUTURES
exhibition, and also featured in Cynthia Rose's influential book DESIGN AFTER DARK - THE STORY OF DANCEFLOOR STYLE
(Thames and Hudson). After setting up his independant hip hop label BITE IT! RECORDINGS in 1991, he ventured into record
production and remixing. Using the UNDERDOG name, he became successful mixing artists such as MASSIVE ATTACK, U2
and UNKLE, and also producing multicultural british rap act the BROTHERHOOD, whose highly commended debut album
ELEMENTALZ was released by VIRGIN RECORDS in 1995In 1996 Trevor formed a new label OUTPUT RECORDINGS, introducing international artists such as FOUR TET, BLACK STROBE, COLDER
MU, CIRCLESQUARE, THE RAPTURE, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM as well as his own acclaimed PLAYGROUP project. OUTPUT was
recognized as one of the UK's most fiercely independent and creatively groundbreaking labels, releasing uncompromising
yet accessible new music of many genres. A cover story in Jockey Slut magazine (2003) cited OUTPUT as this decades
equivalent to the legendary Factory or Warp records. In 2006 after 10 successful years and 100 unique releases Trevor decided to close the label
A compilation of a decade of Outputs releases 'I HATE MUSIC' was released in 2007Jackson is in demand as an international DJ and can been heard playing at many exclusive international art and fashion events,

OUTPUT IS DEAD, & don't let anyone tell you otherwise. the back catalogue will happily always be available, but there will be no new releases on the label ever!, the process label and its artists have nothing to do with me, i'm currently spending my time doing things more worthwhile.
