How did the idea to create Wildlife Recordings come about?
I (Simon) had been promoting in Brisbane for past 5 years under the White Rhino with my friend - Richard
Buck, and it was always something we had been working towards. Richard moved down to Melbourne
and started his own Record Label, Russian Leisure (forthcoming releases from Sully, Dro Carey, Klaar,
Michael Ozone, Angel Eyes etc). At around the same time my brother Ross and I moved down to Byron
Bay, as he had recently resigned from his job in Brisbane to finish his Elroy 4.0 LP and I work as a freelance
designer.
When the time came to release his LP he wasn’t really sure who to contact for the type of music and had
sent out some demos in the 7BF
