UK trip-hop/electronica outfit the Wiseguys started as a duo comprising Touche (b. Theo Keating) and Regal. Hip-hop obsessives, Touche and Regal met while at college in Clerkenwell, London. Regal was working with the Direct Current MCs and Touche joined through a mutual friend. They released an independent single, "Keep In Step" in 1990 and began to assemble primitive pieces from the breakbeat tracks they had collected, using record decks and a tape recorder. In 1992, Regal and Touche began to work on tracks for Solo E, who was managed by Rene Gelston, head of the Blackmarket International label. Gelston liked what he heard and asked them to record for the label. In 1994, as the Wiseguys, they released the EP Ladies Say Ow!. It received support from high profile DJs on London's booming acid jazz/hip-hop scene, such as Gilles Peterson and Patrick Forge. The newly-formed label, Wall Of Sound licensed "The Real Vibes' for its first Give "Em Enough Dope compilation, and released the double a-side, "Nil By Mouth"/"Too Easy", in April 1995. A full-length album, Executive Suite, followed in 1996.
