about

Body in the Thames lives in Stockholm and has previously lived in Manchester, Paris and London. His music is undeniably informed by the musical and artistic culture and heritage of all four of those cities. For ten years he has been making electronica influenced by everything from afrobeat to prog to post-punk, gaining fans in Nemone and Tom Robinson and airplay on BBC Radio 6music. Since 2011 he has released two albums, one mixtape and more than a dozen singles and EPs, including a remix for Django Django feat. Self Esteem.

As for why I choose So. Central Rain...

I saw a video on the net that someone shared and it was their first ever TV performance I think. It was a bit before my time and the image I have of REM is the post-Automatic for the People 90s band. It was quite an eye-opener to see them with Rickenbackers looking like high school/college kids.

I have a piano at home and I just started fooling around playing a kind of 'Satellite of Love'-style version of the song. So then when I saw your fundraiser I figured I'd do a version. I ended up in my studio (where I don't have a piano) doing this dance pop version with an 808(clone), a Moog Matriarch and a sequential OB-6. It's quite a departure from the original I guess.

There is a piano version too but only as an iPhone memo, maybe I'll do a proper Reed/Ronson/Bowie version at some point."
