Lots of people know Arling & Cameron! Not as many people know them in the US but they've definitely had their 15 minutes in Europe. If you're interested in the history of easy, you should acquaint yourself with them. They started out as DJs, and started the Get Easy! parties in Amsterdam in the early 90s, which is what helped the resurgence of interest in easy music flourish across Europe. Loungecore anyone? Then they started the Drive-In label, produced a bunch of other artists music, (including a christmas single, I might ad, two songs by Juan Wells and Johnny Diamond) and then moved on to making their own music. They're also fairly popular in Japan (but then again, what isn't?) Cameron also continues to DJ with his wife Karin Ras who was also there from the beginning. Their US tour last year, they spun a lot of records, including their own. This year maybe they will perform some music? Don't know yet. The ALL-IN record, the LP before MFIF was also really good, though the only conceptual point of it was that "all-in" meant "all inclusive", because they felt that people had spent too much time pegging them as only interested in easy and lounge, while they wanted to show that people could have a good time to all kinds of music. You can always check out the EmperorNorton site for more. They have a link to the Drive-In site too.
