Lockdown Mixtape

 

It’s hard to put words to what’s been going on lately. Music has always grounded me during challenging times and in light of that, I've got lots to share with you over the coming weeks and months. In the meantime, here's a playlist I’ll be updating regularly with music that inspires me, regardless of genre. Consider it a special “lockdown” mixtape. Stay safe 🖤

Electric Echo (feat. Gunship)

The 80’s has always been a very prominent theme in my music. Electric Echo is my homage to Synthwave, a nostalgic vintage synth music that really resonates with my love for that era. I got in touch with Gunship who are legends of that scene. They were really up for the idea of working together and excited to bring the two worlds of synthwave and d&b together. The end result sounded like it could have been out of Stranger Things with that retro 80’s feel. Might do an in-depth article on the making of this tune at some point. Watch this space!

I've been working a fair bit with TC over the past year or so and happy to announce a new collab to appear on his album. 'The Light' came about through a period of throwing various ideas back and forth over the internet, we then finished the track in his studio in Bristol before EDC Las Vegas. The result I think is a nice blend of our styles. His album 'Unleash The Wolves' will be dropping in May, it's sounding amazing so keep an eye out for it!

'Terminus' out now on Hospitality 2016 compilation

 
 The name Terminus was inspired by AMC's The Walking Dead

It's been great to see all the positive reactions to my new track Terminus. It's a track I really enjoyed making as it was really refreshing to strip things back a bit. Sometimes all you need is a kick, a clap and a distorted saw wave! The name originated after a period of watching an unhealthy amount of The Walking Dead, one of my favourite shows to unwind to after studio session - mass zombie genocide seems to do just the trick. It features on the epic 60-track compilation 'Hospitality 2016' which is available now from all good stores. 😎
