Image shows the iconic Roland TB-303, popularised initially by Kraftwerk and then basically the acid house scene and a LOT of techno that followed that. This machine is what got us into trying to make music.

    I'm putting stuff on Bandcamp at the moment because they provide the hosting and I get paid, so I'll post the links here. It's pay what you want (or not) and I've been delighted that folks have actually been buying my stuff. This is awesome :)




    The ones below are published via Ditto music and in the public catalogue (or something, they're on spotify and other streaming sites) but that approach doesn't really seem to be working for me so will likely discontinue it and focus on indy publishing like bandcamp, maybe mirlo and directly.. i guess since streaming services don't seem to pay their artists and spotify are also ICE-supporting bastards, so that's not really somewhere I wanna stay. And getting onto streaming services, beatport etc was really the reason I went with a publisher in the first place (you can't get onto beatport without one).

    I've had more support and sales through bandcamp and the fediverse in the last month that in the previous 2-3 years on spotify etc.

    In the unlikely event that you need to really annoy your neighbours, drown out the sounds of fireworks,

    scare off some large rodents or even just like really noisy techno...

    I *may* be available for live sets.

    Please bear in mind most of my stuff is generally improvised to a large degree.

    Always hardware (#dawless), always live, no computers.


    If that still doesn't dissuade you, then you can reach me by email at the address below:

    Original Pirate material


    Listen to my tunes on Iceni Sounds, which is Part of the Iceniheights project, which is a 'pirate radio' station based out of a flat in Jimmy Caughty's "The Estate" art installation.

    PLEASE NOTE - The stream includes a fair amount of coarse language and dark humour in the interstitials.
    The idea is that it's set in this fictional (rough/deprived) environment of the towers. None of it is to be taken too seriously.

    Most of the techno on there is from me, and some of it goes back over 20 years!



    Here's a link to play the stream in VLC in case the in-page player doesn't work for you:
    (which is entirely possible)
