Goa and psychedelic trance oldskool and nu cool mixes for days!

English hobbyist DJ and psytrance producer, his head in the clouds and his ears in the psychedelic back allies of the past. Decades ago jrb deejayed with tactile formats - vinyl, CD, mixing desks, now it's all done in software. Not live, non-destructive, remastered and spliced to high heaven. Earlier still jrb made music with the primitive fasttracker2 software music software for the PC, and ran music groups OnyxTrance (nxt), Blackhole (bh) as well as releasing for other internet module labels, such as Chill, Twist, and LoK. In between he released a few bootlegs (mixing vocals from one track with the backing from another track, with often hilarious results).

Some random modules or early DJ mixes from this yesteryear era may appear here from time-to-time... don't be alarmed!

Music of a grim, Cold War Britain (2010-2025).

Aside from the odd project, Concretism is now mothballed. I'm doing other things elsewhere.

Sorry, I cancelled my 'pro' account on here, so my massive back catalogue going back to 2010 is no longer available. It just wasn't worth the £80 a year.

You can still buy my old stuff on Bandcamp:

"Leftfield troubadour from New York City known for making his own instruments. Inventive and Romantic" -TimeOut

UNCUT magazine says "Truax is shaping up nicely as one of the great rock eccentrics."

 His evolving 'band' of self-made sound sculptures include a motorized drum machine made of bike wheels called 'Mother Superior' and a souped up Gramophone called 'The Hornicator'.

He crafts rich, poetically evocative songs about insects, trees, technology, and a lifelong obsession with things lunar, including various reasons 'Why Dogs Howl at The Moon'. His nine studio LPs include highly-rated covers album 'Songs From The Films Of David Lynch'.  

Other notable supporters and collaborators have included Jarvis Cocker, Duke Special, James Konopinski Smith of Yard Act, Richard Hawley, Bob Log III, the Dresden Dolls and the late author Terry Pratchett. Currently he’s finishing off a 2022 album release that features drummer Budgie of the Slits, Siouxsie & The Banshees et al.


On Soundcloud in 2011, The Monthly Journal album was a living, mutating organism taking place in twelve intervals over a year. Tracks were informed by any number of things: the vibe, feeling, texture, atmosphere of the changing seasons, the expanding and contracting lengths of days and nights, weather, news, dreams, personal or world events as they unfolded. Songs were produced and released within the window of each month.
