Over the past few years Eskimo Recordings have invited some of the best crate diggers around to curate compilations that don’t just reveal the hidden contents of their record bags but something about themselves too. Now, following in the footsteps of the likes of Bill Brewster and Psychemagik, producer, musician, DJ, writer and more, Richard Norris, takes us on a globetrotting psychedelic journey with the epic 42 track collection, Mr Norris Changes Brains.
Richard Norris has been pushing the envelope sonically for many years. From co-producing the seminal ‘Jack the Tab’ album, via his work with Soft Cell’s Dave Ball in The Grid and Erol Alkan in Beyond The Wizards Sleeve, alongside his many collaborations, solo albums, productions and remixes, Richard has been deeply connected with the spirit of psychedelia and dance since before Acid House.
After publishing his music memoir ‘Strange Things Are Happening’ (White Rabbit) in 2024 and curating Mr Norris Changes Brains, Richard is currently working on a host of new projects. These include Oracle Sound, his dub series of releases, Music For Healing, his monthly deep listening ambient work, Hypno, his new electronic dance label, a collaborative project with Mark Barrott for Anjuna Chill and DJ sets as Beyond The Wizards Sleeve. A live Oracle Sound AV show is currently touring, and The Grid return shortly, via a new deal with BMG that will see a ‘Best Of’ compilation, a brand new album and live shows.
