Let's Do It

Æ MAK makes art pop and performs it very well.

Hi, I'm a South London-based composer, producer and (on a good day) musician. 

I like pianos and cellos, synthesizers and guitars, musical journeys, soundscapes, atmosphere, grooves and tunes. 

Generally speaking, the pieces posted here are a bit lighter than the style of my band, Jensen Code, so if you prefer your music a little rockier, click on the Jensen Code links below. 

Most of these tracks are available for download, but if you don't want the big WAV files then go to my Bandcamp (link below) where you can get them as mp3s. Some tracks now available on Spotify, too: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5AzgBovMOmTNmSPaEpTvpx

For all enquiries, including licensing and commissions, please email me: andy(at)deserter.co.uk

All the Jensen Code EPs are now available on Spotify:

Genre-hopping author. Poet. Champion of new music on Radio Stradbroke.

The I Am Galactic sequence has completed. Particles are now drifting.
Time traveller from the 70s living in North Wales. A shitty time traveller, only able to travel forward in real time. Making growly electrotech - the sounds from tomorrow, made yesterday.

(instagram @Apathy_foxx Formerly Faefoxx) Witch-house, techno, electro, and elements of other areas of this side of music.  Open to collaboration.

Pink Cliffs is the new project of Si Miller, a London-based musician originally from Bristol.

Inspired by grand geographical forces, and the pursuit of pure joy through natural psychedelia, the music of Pink Cliffs captures a voice wrestling with expectation and desperation amid the patina and patterns of the physical world.

I’m a singer-songwriter from Derbyshire. All songs on here are demos. Just recorded on my phone or iPad. I have songs also on philbus.bandcamp.com . Also on YouTube at @Philbus77 . I’m also on instagram at @philbus850 . My email is philbus850@gmail.com . 
    I love bands like Crowded House, Embrace, Depeche Mode, New Order and singer-songwriters like Josh Ritter, Josh Rouse, Neil Young, Kara Jackson and also all of the girls from Boygenius. Please check out my new album Tales on www.philbus.bandcamp.com
   I have been writing songs since I was about 10 years old, maybe even a bit longer as I can recall being younger than that and strumming a toy guitar and singing some sort of melody. I can play the keys a little bit and that’s where I write my songs at the keyboard, because I don’t have a band behind me, at the moment songs are recorded using keyboard presets as backing music with me singing over into my iPad. 
  I’m in the process of changing my setup and will soon start using a laptop and a keyboard to make hopefully a more unique sound, at least I hope more professional.
  I hope that you enjoy my music, that’s why I make it, because I enjoy it and I want other people to as well.
  Thanks, from Philbus, or Phil if you want to be more personal.

"Welsh electronic producer Sonophoria is quietly building a reputation as one of the UK’s most intriguing underground names" (BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson’s 'Fresh On The Net', Fresh Faves #574 by John Michie, 23 Jun 2025)

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Sonophoria is a Welsh Electronic Music Producer who in their short career has already been featured on SoundCloud’s Flagship Global Top 50 Electronic Music playlist “Buzzing Electronic” in April 2024. 

Also, since starting submitting to BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson's ‘Fresh on the Net’ in January 2024, they have been featured 15 times in Eclectic Picks, selected for the Listening Post 5 times and a featured Fresh Fave in September 2024 and June 2025. 

Think a blend of Avicii, Chemical Brothers & Prodigy (ie melodic electronic music fused with eclectic/alternative elements). Also House, Progressive, Trance & EDM Producer.
