This is the original, which features the extra vcls (which I took off from the later release). I put the record out myself. Its titled 'divided reality'. I named it after a Bo Hansson track

This track featured on my 'one by one' ep  the 'Myzuzyk' netlabel compilation 'Twisting The Frame' Vol 1 and 'Goosbumps vol.3' (milled pavement). It features my good friends James P Honey and Reindeer otherwise known as Rough tongue surfaces.

My entry for the Who sampled "samplethon" WE were given a usb stick full of previously unused samples from the Boosey and Hawkes archive and had a day to make a track.

Here is a small project i have started re editing some old acid folk works.
My first experiment here is with a track called "Lord & Master" by a band called "Heron".
The simple lyrics about nature and the changing seasons combined with the charming melodies really struck a chord with me when I first heard it.
You can check and dowload the track and future edits at my bandcamp page...

I have added some drums, bass and a few edits.
Feel free to download it and maybe go for a walk in the woods ;)

And please take a minute to listen to the original if you can...

Lord And Master 2econd Class Citizen re-edit (free download)

"Old folk wine" is an ongoing experiment where I delve into the past. Taking folk music from the Uk and creating something new with it. 
As this is ongoing I decided to change the compilation title to "Old Folk wine" after the second track I worked on called "old boot wine". It was the first title I came up with and I didn't use it for whatever reason but I changed my mind so there you go ;) 
Seasons was inspired by the book "Seasons they change" by Jeanette Leach, something im reading right now about the whole acid folk movement... 
I spent more time than usual working on the cover for this. Experimenting with my gimp skills (that being a piece of software called gimp similar to photoshop ;) enjoy!

I found a version of what became 'listen the night' featuring James Reindeer. This version was from before we recorded the vocals. I spent an evening or two playing around with it and have decided to share it with the world. Hope you like it!

Listen The Night instrumental edit

Something I made for a bit of fun. Enjoy!

Brighton based 2econd Class Citizen makes folk music for the digital age. Sometimes psychedelic, often complex and always moving, his sound is hard to define but easy to fall in love with. 

With a series of critically acclaimed releases garnering praise from luminaries such as Ninja Tune legend DJ Food (who went so far as to invite him to collaborate on a track for his own album),  2econd Class Citizen’s music has long been astounding listeners in all corners of the globe. Cementing the affection of his loyal following through frequent European Tours and remixes for artists such as The Herbaliser, Dj Food & Dday One. His new record A Hall of Mirrors, on Dday One’s US label Content Records, is his most accomplished music to date… 

Produced and recorded in the disparate locations of his hometown of Brighton (UK) and Innsbruck (Austria), it features collaborations with a succession of underground heroes such as Mykah 9 (Freestyle Fellowship),  Canadian singer Graciellita and Bobbie Watson from psych folk legends Comus. In addition it features an array of talented Austrian and Uk musicians on Piano, Cello, Violin and guitar… 
The album builds on his trademark sound - lush instrumentation, dusty break-beats and shimmering melodies that veer from ethereal to menacing with surprising deftness. 

A Hall of Mirrors is the latest instalment in a distinguished career spanning over a decade. Highlights include his astonishing debut album A World Without, released on DJ Scientist’s Equinox Records (Berlin) featuring singer/songwriter Ceschi Ramos from the US and rapper/wordsmith James Reindeer. A Gate-fold 12” vinyl release of his second album The Small Minority followed, and an array of EP’s, limited edition vinyl postcards and digital releases such as his ongoing “Old Folk Wine” series of psych-folk re edits. 

In his live sets 2econd Class Citizen recreates the complexity and depth of orchestration he has become known for, using sound editing software, live drumming and scratching to keep a strong improvisational aspect, and often embellishing performances with the introduction of guest musicians and vocalists. 

In addition to frequent European Tours with the likes of Ceschi, Glen Porter & Buddy Peace he has performed at festivals including Glastonbury and Soundwave (Croatia), sharing stages with the likes of Hidden Orchestra, Buck 65, B Dolan, Dj Food, Loka, Dosh, The Q4, Gong and many more.
