Consisting of Ben McColl and Matthew Brooks, Appaloosa filter their inspirations -- namely '80s Chicago house, electro, and tribal-techno -- through the lens of British drum'n'bass. McColl was a leading light in Bournemouth's club community as early as 1989 and worked as a DJ at the jungle night Strings of Life. Ever the roving DJ, L.T.J. Bukem made a few stops there during the early '90s and signed two Appaloosa singles to his Good Looking/Looking Good labels, "Travelling" and "Night Train." In 1996, "Travelling" also appeared on <a href="spotify:artist:5Wfn5sc1w3DhMTpU7oPJZL">Bukem</a>'s Earth, Vol. 1 compilation. The duo laid low during most of the late '90s, but returned in 1999 with a self-titled debut album recorded for Different Drummer Records (run by <a href="spotify:artist:3gqHREl6i007S2Fh1bsuS9">Rockers Hi-Fi</a>). The duo also founded their own label, Pepper, and signed up their alias projects Lexicon and Coast to record for it. One additional pseudonym, Nautilus, combines McColl and <a href="spotify:artist:0XKOBt59crntr7HQXXO8Yz">Brooks</a> with another <a href="spotify:artist:5Wfn5sc1w3DhMTpU7oPJZL">Bukem</a> associate, DJ Orbit. ~ John Bush, Rovi
