Fluke
Purveyors of charismatic dance music, Fluke are both a stand-alone musical project and a mixing house for others. The combo was formed by Mike Bryant (b. Michael James Bryant, 1 May 1960, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England), Michael Tournier (b. Michael James Tournier, 24 May 1963, High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, England) and Jonathan Fugler (b. 13 October 1962, St Austell, Cornwall, England). Fugler and Bryant were both formerly in third-rate teenage punk bands: the Leaky Radiators and the Lay Figures. Tournier and Fugler had more prominently been part of Skin. They emerged as Fluke in 1988 with the white label 12-inch, "Island Life", and then the following September's "Thumper!". Other early pop house singles included "Joni" (complete with a sample from Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi") and "Philly", their debut release for Creation Records. Their first live performance was on the lawn of a Kent country house at a Boy's Own Records party - a set that subsequently became their second album release, Out (In Essence), in November 1991. It arrived as part of a new contract with Virgin Records subsidiary Circa Records, with whom they released their third album, the trance-dominated Six Wheels On My Wagon, in 1993. This was accompanied by a limited edition free vinyl copy of their long-deleted The Techno Rose Of Blighty debut. Six Wheels On My Wagon also proffered a further significant club hit, "Groovy Feeling".
