Chicken Lips is a dance music band and production team from Stafford, England, that includes Andy Meecham and Dean Meredith, both formerly of Bizarre Inc, a band they created in the early 1990s.
Career
Meecham and Meredith began working as Chicken Lips in 1999. [1] Their music is more left-field House than the acid house that dominated in their earlier Bizarre Inc. productions. [1] Their music has also been described as "disco-dub". [2] As producers, they have issued in stream of twelve-inch singles released through the Kingsize label. [1] With the addition of Steve Kotey, owner of Bear Funk Records, the Chicken Lips became a trio. [1] [3]
Meecham has also been involved in side-projects such as The Emperor Machine. [4]
