Speaking about the release of Tutti’s remix, TOY said: “We’re honoured and a little humbled to have Cosey remix one of our songs. We love what she’s done, how she affected the vocals on Strangulation Day and transformed it into her own.”

Cosy Fanni Tutti , real name Christine Carol Newby is a performance artist, musician and writer who as well as performing in Throbbing Gristle has also performed in Chris and Cosey. She came up with her stage name in 1973, before which she was using the name Cosmosis.

She started performing with COUM Transmissions which she was a founding member of in 1969. During this time she worked on the project “Prostitution” which was a revealing exhibition about porn and the sex industry, which she was at one time involved with herself.

Throbbing Gristle was formed in 1976 and disbanded in 1981. Chris and Cosey was formed with fellow former TG member Chris Carter.Gristle got back together in 2009 and in 2010 began a European tour but in 2010 , frontman Genesis P-orridge announced that he was no longer preforming with the band leaving Tutti, Carter and other member Peter Christopherson to finish the tour under the name X-TG.

She continues to perform as a solo artist and as a performance artist. In 2017, she released her autobiography titled “Art, Sex, Music.”
