The Uncut[Ian Worang & Jake Fairley]

Biography

This is a story of fortunate chemistries, of promising beginnings and waylaid expectations. A story that once seemed prematurely doomed to a somewhat bittersweet, but wholly unfulfilling end. It is also, however, a story of soldiering on, of rebirth and great things to come. A story of new beginnings, then.Uncut was born a bit of a lark in Toronto in November of 2001. Roommates Ian Worang and Jake Fairley were at a party one Saturday night when talk turned to an upcoming gig Fairley, already a techno producer of some esteem, had planned – or, rather, had yet to plan – for the city’s nascent Mission techno night.He wasn’t really sure what he was going to do for the show. They decided to play his cover of ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’ with live bass and guitar, even though Jake had never played guitar before.
