Valley Of The Things

"I do not know what I saw, I shall probably never know what I saw, but for sure, I saw something ..."
The bouncy rewrite dance version of 'Eat Alien', originally on the first Akahum EP the band released. Thumping ;)

8ET Purple Furry Mix

A fond collaboration over two days with Danny Mekanik at his old studio in Stoke on Trent. Marvelous production wizardry by Dan and mad guitar layering by yours truly. An unexpected gem of a track. Great memories during a mad heatwave!

In The Sun

From my latest release Phenomenological, the third Akahum alum this year. Enjoy :)

Trick Guitar

Another taster from my most recent album, pHe·nOm·E·nO·loG·i·CaL. 
I don't usually write ideas from piano melodies but I was pleased how this one came out. Some great analogue string and synth sounds found their way onto this track too, epic in places - enjoy :)

Orbit

A pre-release version of Jetsun, with Melodie on vocals and Gareth on synths, edited in from older sessions.

"a tremendous set by Akahum" BBC News, Eden Festival
"The tightness of the performance was a pleasure to listen to and behold, as one would expect from such an experienced ensemble. As well as musically brilliant, it was also a visually stunning show, and the expectant crowd got much more than they bargained for." Dex Flett, ParallelPR
"Awesome gig Dave, the fab Akahum, one love!!" Nik Turner
"Thanx for the excellent set on Alchemy!! Seems there was rain, wind and cold going on during the set, but I hardly noticed any of it." Hans Transjuicer, DJ NL
"... it grabs you by the scruff of the neck and shakes you into a shamanic tribal techno thing." Peppermint Iguana Magazine
