We're not going to blow smoke northwards on this one, or describe the deep inner adventure the 'artist' endured to discover this sound. Carpe Noctem is a simple sequence of tones and frequencies presented with (relative) harmonic sense against a backdrop of solid bottom end.... And while there might be a slight overuse of his new studio toy in here, we understand he has to justify the purchase to his better half or he'll be out on the street. If you have eyes I would recommend checking the vid, and the following buzzwords may help any budding journos out there; analogue delay, restraint, filters, pensive, phaser, cassette tape saturation, BOC.

First track from my upcoming release. Does it make you feel groovy?

Splodies

Lyrics:

Your downloads infringed our copyright
So we traced the requests
The files were unencrypted
And bound for your address
We analysed our log files
We were unimpressed
So we cut your umbilical connection
To the online developed West

The Norse detective novels are redacted from the tablet in your hand
What part of We Control The Infrastructure do you not understand
You're excommunicated from the church of Kurzweil and of Rand
What part of We Control The Infrastructure do you not understand

You make alerts sound in our credit control systems
Knocked back by pay-day loan website algorithms
There's some dude in a white van outside your house
To turn your water off like the EDF turned your lights out

You missed our payments, don't return our calls, you ignore our demands
What part of We Control The Infrastructure do you not understand
Now you will suffer thirst, your sinuses and throat as dry as sand
What part of We Control The Infrastructure do you not understand

And all those videos you put on Youtube to promote your band
And all those drum loops you just sampled in, you'll wish you'd played by hand
We're using app stores since the file share sites were shut down by the Man
Just tell us who'll replace us in this revolution you've got planned

What part of We Control The Infrastructure do you not understand

We Control The Infrastructure

23 years ago the KLF announced they were leaving the music business. They deleted their back catalogue and burned £1m on a remote island in Scotland. This mixumentary tells their story; a strange and often chaotic tale traversing hip hop, gospel, trance, techno, ambient, house and pop amongst other things. It is my tribute to the band that produced the first single I ever bought, a tribute to a band that, despite becoming the largest selling singles act in the world, remain largely forgotten.  

"A very thorough and splendidly creative job" - Bill Drummond

"Good work!" - Jimmy Cauty

"Wildly enjoyable" - Mojo Magazine

"I don’t think some of the tracks have stood the test of time well. With so many mixes to squeeze into the show, I can’t really justify using this" - Solid Steel Radio
