Agent Sumo

Comprising Edinburgh local Martin Cole as well as the Leeds-born Steven Halliday, the electronica duo Agent Sumo took its name from two phrases come up with from suggestions by close friends. Even though two resided in Leeds at the same time for an interval and frequented exactly the same night clubs, it wasn’t until 1998 once the set were surviving in London that these were introduced by way of a shared friend. Jointly they produced a variety of the Seahorses’ melody “Appreciate Is the Appreciate,” obtaining a copy towards the band’s John Squire (who was simply apparently nonplussed). An early on independent discharge, 1999’s “Sunflowers,” produced a name on their behalf among the membership community and Agent Sumo was agreed upon to Virgin. Their initial one for the label was “a day,” which discovered favor among supporters from the genre and preceded the full-length record DO-IT-YOURSELF (We Do), that was released in 2002.
