NTS Radio 09 - The Breakfast Show  - [28.08.21]

Was going through some of the first sets I recorded in 2006-2008 after a friend sent them to me.  This was when I used to play Drum and Bass under the alias Apt Pupil. This was the sound I was playing in Leeds at parties like Sub Dub/Momentum/ Metropolis/Central Beatz and every week on Frequency FM :) thought it would be nice to share one.

Apt Pupil - November Blues - 2007 [Drum and Bass Mix]

This is my 4 hour opening set from the December edition of Group Therapy in Copenhagen (@grouptherapy_cph). I was really sick in the week running up to this party and very nearly pulled out but am so glad I made it. 

The party was a world AIDS day fundraiser raising money for AIDS-Fondet and “Ungegruppen”. It was also the first party in their new venue Den Anden Side. The vibes were incredibly special and I was honoured to play the first songs in their new home. This was my love letter to everyone we lost to AIDS and a chance to play some of my most cherished records.

Soup To Nuts w/ MIDLAND 220923

“Drift In To The Algorithm” is the first track off a new 4 track EP titled “You Never Take Me Dancing” which will be out early November on @gradeduk with another single dropping late October.

A1 - Drift Into The Algorithm
A2 - Side Gurn
B1 - You Never Take Me Dancing
B2 - Strangers On A Train

Its been 4 years since I put out new music. Over lockdown I retreated fully, burnt out in many ways. It also coincided with a studio move and overhaul of my studio process. As I started to make music again, I instead focussed on the simple joy of creating with with zero thought about sharing it publicly. I have never enjoyed making music like I do now and I think it shines through in these tracks. This EP represents a new chapter for me and I am excited to share the rest of it as well as a bunch more music over the next 12 months.

“Drift In To The Algorithm” is available to buy and stream now and the EP is available to pre order both digitally and on 12” at the link in my stories/ bandcamp etc

About the mix

I’ve been thinking about a concept for a mix titled “As the city sleeps” for some time. Soundtracking one of my favourite times of day, between 4-5am, the witching hour, when you fall in love, spend time getting to know the things about your friends you never knew and when towns and cities feel like your own.
When I was asked to contribute an hour of music to the inaugural “Monolithic Installation" (more info below), an immersive light installation in Bristol at Motion this summer it was the perfect catalyst to finally record the mix. I have gone back in and worked on it since and am happy to share it with you now.

"As featured in the Monolithic Installation, 5,376 suspended LEDs, an immersive light installation at Motion Bristol's recent day party by Squid Soup & Ben Price, hear the other mixes here and look out for it on the road this year" - http://bit.ly/2mrsYLo

Beats In Space #1004 Midland

I wanted to share a live recording that we have listened to multiple times in our home  :) 

Last year we spent some time in Bali at Potato Head (@potatoheadmusic). Alongside my night time gig I asked them if I could play a "sunset set" by the beach. Instead a biblical thunderstorm rolled through and we all huddled under the covers. 
Some records I have played before, some I haven't all of them special to me in some way.
