Nightlife

From the new album 'old tricks, new dogs'. Here's a second track that builds to a euphoric conclusion.  please enjoy!

On Giants Shoulders

We're heading back to circa 1995 with this sound.  Crunchy TR-909 from the OG machine, cranking out the beats under a classic synth line.  

Listen through and the track opens up into a melodic breakdown before a solid build up takes you home.  If this don't get your toe tapping, you're probably dead inside.

Release The Pressure

Daybreak

The Fall

Building lush atmospheres, syncopated beats and punctuating synth lines all swirling in a polyrhythmic pattern, it's the dilation of time.

Dilation

Nightlife (Breaks Mix)

Mid-tempo, melodic, and glitched with a driving modulated bassline that builds into a saturated cinematic soundscape.

Beyond Reach

Recorded in 1997. We'd been out to Atomic Jam at the legendary Que Club in Birmingham until 6am Sunday morning. Speedy J headlined with a live set which was just the best. When I got home, I hit the studio, and this is what happened. Remastered for 2025.

Time (2025 Remaster)

Electronic Music producer based in Wellington, New Zealand 

Driving beats, lush synths, cinematic influences and syncopated melodies are blended to form a unique take on electronic music. 

Direct influences stem from synth pop of the 80's, the early pioneers of Detroit Techno, the UK dance music scene of the 90's, and a love of movie scores.  Mixing elements from the classic synths and drum machines with sounds from self-designed and built one-of-a-kind instruments.  

The love of electronics, programming and wide musical influences inspired a then 14-year-old to record his first tracks. Evolving over the years through IDM, Ambient, Minimal Techno, Drum & Bass and eventually we arrive at this current incarnation.

The name 'Common Trigger' is a direct homage to the circuitry of the classic analog Roland drum machines such as the TR-808, TR-909, and the TR-606.
