Sounds From The Ground (SFTG) is an English electronic music duo formed in 1995. Both members Nick Woolfson and Elliot Jones met through their involvement with the underground music scene in London. Elliot Jones's background is chillout and dub, from running his own label and doing clubs and gatherings in the early 1990s. Nick Woolfson has worked in lots of different styles of music, as long as it is innovative and good quality, and downtempo is his comfort zone. Jones had written Triangle as a demo and was introduced to Woolfson, their styles matched and the duo was born. Woolfson's studio is called The Starlight Rooms and is located in London. Woolfson has been working on a Mac and Logic for approximately the last 10 years. He has some old analog and digital synthesizers which he still uses : Yamaha CS-70, ARP Axxe, Moog Rogue, Yamaha CS30, Roland TB-303, Yamaha DX7, Virus, 2 x Roland JV-1080, 2 x Akai S3000 samplers. He also has a Mackie 32-8 plus extra 24 input desk but these days most of the work is done on the Mac, making the mixing desk virtually redundant. SFTG have done a few collaborations over the years, including vocalists Taz, Aine, Colein, Nicola Hitchcock, Dillinger and General Levy. The duo has also worked with pedal steel guitarist BJ Cole, ex Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor as well as Gaudi and also collaborated with Benjamin Zephaniah. The duo were regular performers and DJs at The Big Chill music festivals, and have played at Glastonbury. In 2010 SFTG released their studio album 'The Maze' in October 2010, which was followed by the release of a remastered version of Mosaic on 28 March 2011. A new EP download only release was released later in the year, as well as Luminal (remastered). In 2012 the duo released 'Ready, Steady, Slow (A Chillout Release)' and their latest album 'Widerworld' which was published on Waveform Records the 11th September 2012.
