Fear of Theydon is the artist moniker of Essex-born music producer Julian Peck who started his music career in 2006 as a tea boy at Sunday Best, the UK Indie record label owned by BBC Radio 1 DJ and Bestival head honcho Rob da Bank.
da Bank championed Julian's early bootleg edits of Kate Bush and New Order and gave the tracks their first Radio 1 plays, which was the launching pad has that spurred on Fear of Theydon’s growing dedication for all things remix-based.
The following ‘This is Fear of Theydon EP‘, released on Sunday Best recordings later in 2007, was well received and landed the Fear of Theydon remix of Grand National’s ‘Rub Your Potion’ on two prestigious compilations: ‘Global Underground Mixed:2‘ and ‘Andy Cato presents: Cafe Mambo'.
The success of his EP demarked the start of what has since become a long string of official releases for Sunday Best, first under Julian’s F.o.T name then later under the ‘Sunday Best Remix’ pseudonym, which the label formally assigned to him in 2008. These Sunday Best remixes feature on various singles from dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip, David E. Sugar, Dub Pistols, David Lynch, Beardyman, Lemonade, Lucky Elephant, Ebony Bones! and other acts from the label.
In the last two years, outside of his work for the label, Fear of Theydon production credits have extended to include assisting on a handful of Rob da Bank’s own official remixes for acts like Moby, MGMT, Passion Pit, Amadou & Mariam and Editors as well as having Fear of Theydon remixes commissioned and released for Montevideo [Relish], Lusty Zanzibar [Nang], Incarnations [Lovemonk], Tickler Tea & Magic Fuzz [Jack-to-Phono], James Delay [Russell Club], The CB’s [Jam City], and more instore for 2011/2012…
Five years on from making tea at Sunday Best, Julian has ongoing co-productions in progress with artists Sean Brosnan, Pete Gooding and London band Citizens, as well as an ever-growing body of song-writing collaborations with some of his heroes – including Merz, Mantler, Rachael Dadd, La Rudd [Grand National] and Simon Lord [Black Ghosts/Simian]…
