After a few months offline i’ve finally found the cause of the error logs (which was down to a plugin conflict) and we seem to be up and running again just in time for the summer solstice \o/…

Been learning a lot about production recently and thought id have a go at producing a remix of M.I.A‘s Paper Planes track. Pretty pleased with how it turned out so thought id post it to see what other people thought.

At our debut gig, two very talented individuals going by the names of Gregory Maximus Steel & Lkewis Hackett shot some footage, which has now been edited by the multi talented Acclaudian (who features in the video and plays with Klez Dennis) to create our 1st Slamboree promo video!

Over the last few weeks i’ve been working with the very talented Freear on our aforementioned musical collaboration, and it’s resulted in a brand new live band called Slamboree!
I should make clear that the road to Slamboree didnt start with our musical collaboration. My own inspirations started from our 1st project x presents …

As well as the musical collaborations i’m equally as excited about collaborating with 2 of my favourite Vj’s in 2011. I’ve worked consistently with both Liam (Blendstate) and Tony (The Lab) ever since we met at Project X (Tony) & Mr Elephant (Liam) in 2007, and although we’ve collaborated on a lot of …

I’ve been taking 6/12 months off to get some groundwork done, so i can really concentrate on my music and djing in 2011, and i’m pleased to say there’s already 3 collaborations on the horizon, all of which i’m really looking forward to!

One is with one of my favourite producers, another is with …

I wrote a track called Drop Beats Not Bombs in around 2007. It was the first breaks track i felt happy with & was intended for 2 gigs – One for the night itself where i had the honour of playing the opening set of the re-opening of the Que club, and one …
