DIZZY ERROL could be easily considered as a cultural phenomenon, if it wasn't this man's unique personality overshadowing any explorations in social discourses. Born on a ship in the harbour of Melbourne, Australia, he grew up in Munich, Germany, surrounded by his turk family. There it was his turk aunt who introduced the young boy into the luminous world of 60ies pop and limelight, bringing the boy pure moments of psychedelia, mindtrips, camp and queerness which allowed the working class kid to feel okay for a while.
Early DIZZY ERROL started composing themes for his roommates Didi & Gogo, both inventions of his mind. We can meet Didi & Gogo on 'Motherlamp' in a lunatic song, let's call this music naivepop. It makes you feel happy immediately.
Those who had discovered already a certain Krautpopgroup where Franz Ferdinand's Nick McCarthy had joined, will recognize some tonalities on 'Motherlamp' and maybe try again by giving a listening to Kamerakino's Gomma-Debut 'Paradiso'.
Others will recall the quirky voice DIZZY ERROL did for a cover of Sexual Harrasment's 'If I Gave You A Party', a clubhit for Gomma out of their celebrated 'Anti NY'-compilation. DIZZY ERROL refers to his image as a 'Discodoll', donating us another fine floor-stomper, but the humourous lyrics mark a cut: "I am your discodoll, please take me to the hall where i feel so small, though i am so tall". Emptyness is not a place to stay.
In Germany DIZZY ERROL achieved already within a few years his very own brand: Germany's only turk beatnik! Now here's his own version of pop out on the market, it's well packed.
