Backdraft are Manchesters remarkable break beat duo, Karrie and Paul who are originally from Bolton. The pair have been working together for over a decade and their relationship in the studio is a harmonious and productive one with plenty of excellent results. Their musical journey started when they both joined a band called The Magic Roundabout. It was around the same time as the Happy Mondays and Inspiral Carpets were starting to cause a stir and there was a real scene developing in Manchester. For some strange reason the whole band decided to immigrate to Nottingham for a couple of years, missing the entire Madchester craze and their chance to make it as a band. Instead Karrie and Paul locked themselves in a studio with a four-track recorder and entered the wonderful world of recording.
