About this item

Nick Byng aka Snorkie is a Worcester based musician who started out working at Rockfield Studios with bands such as The Charlatans, Black Sabbath, XTC, Pop Will Eat Itself, The Paris Angels and The Damned.

His music has since been used by the likes of Norman Cook and Manchester United, with airplay by radio stations such as BBC 6 Music and NYC's East Village Radio. Champions of previous Snorkie releases include Ursula 1000, Craig Charles, Tim 'Love' Lee, DJ Andy Smith, Nemone, Dr Rubberfunk and Don Letts to name a few.

2025 sees a new release 'Hypnotised' on Muito Bom Records. First conceived during the pandemic lockdown of 2020, the lyrics were in fact, first written many years ago and shelved, until now.

The A side is a nu-disco style groover with vocals by Solihull's Bethan Wyn Davies. Side B is a deeper edit with a sprinkling of techno and house. All parts were recorded from live performance in the studio rather than programmed in.

We're currently the only UK record store holding a very limited first press lathe-cut release on 7” with attractive printed centre and clear/transparent vinyl.

Watch out for a new Snorkie release on Muito Bom Records for 2026!

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Phwooarr! Don't sleep on this one pop pickers! One side - super deep house business with lashings of soul. Ont'other - a silky, laser-guided, late night electro-disco number that's got Red Laser at The Carlton Club written all over it... best of all - we're the only MF's in the country with this record at the moment! Form an orderly queue!
