My remix for Banco de Gaia's All Sleeping EP - out now on Disco Gecko Recordings via Bandcamp, Amazon, iTunes etc. Here's what the man himself has to say about the EP... "It seems only fitting that as summer slips into fall, I release this ode to rest and relaxtion.

The 'All Sleeping' EP features the original track, which is blessed with flutes from Tim Wheater and violas from Patrick Dunn, plus three additional remixes.

The high priests of Sacred Bass, Desert Dwellers, provide a jittery yet soothing mix, while Mistrust's electronica musings darken the original mood. Finally Hibernation lifts us back into a sweet space with a solid downtempo mix, sealed by the additional bass."

Banco de Gaia - All Sleeping (Mistrust Remix)

Rob.V has released a hot new remix of his track ‘New Age’   This is a collaboration with me, U.K based IDM & Dub DJ/Producer ‘Mistrust’. We would love it if you have any feedback or can help to promote the track in any way. The two music producers first began shooting ideas via email mid year in 2021 and it was obvious that this was a good fit. Mistrust aka Tim Blackburn first heard the release of ‘New Age’ back in Nov, 2020 and instantly envisioned his dub down tempo style suiting the track. Rob.V was keen for Tim to take the reins and creatively take it to another place. The result has led to this cool British dub/reggae/downbeat spin on the original moody lockdown track.

New Age (Mistrust Remix)

"This Is The Mood (I'm In)" was written and recorded by me in 1985. 
It was a track on my first demo album called "UVL - Ultra Violent Light".  The song was my take on (and tribute to) "Waves" by 80's synth duo "Blancmange" (Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe) - one of my favourite bands in the 80s.

This is the original version played and sung live in 1985 at home with overdubs (bouncing tracks between two cassette recorders).  It has been transferred directly from the original chrome cassette tape with no effects, no cleaning up or any other treatment. As such, it sounds rough and hissy, so please note that the sound quality isn't great (the recording is nearly 40 years old!) 

Instruments used: Casio MT31,  Jen SX1000, Kay Memory Rhythm Drum Machine, and cheap headset mic.   ***I'm putting this out there temporarily for nostalgia*** before I clean up the tapes!

"Never Let You Go (For Kathryn B)" is a new song that I've written for my amazing wife, Kathryn, to celebrate her birthday. It's a lullaby / synthpop song, which is influenced by bands like OMD, Kraftwerk, Human League, and early Depeche Mode. It's quite a departure from my dub/downtempo instrumentals and remixes, and has me on lead vocals. I wrote and recorded loads of "proper" songs in the late 1980s and early 90s, but haven't done anything like this since then.

After numerous instrumentals, I thought it was time I sat down to see if I could actually write a real song!

Hopefully, everyone will like it!

My remix for Warp Technique's "Nowhere Dub", which is out now on their "Happy EP".  2020 update = Now out on "A Shaman Lik my Pea"!!! Now available on my new album https://mistrust.bandcamp.com/track/warp-technique-nowhere-dub-mistrust-remix

Everyday Everday

Warp Technique - Nowhere Dub (Mistrust Remix)

Now Available on Limited Edition Compact Disc at https://mistrust.bandcamp.com/album/yellow-and-grey-ep-2

"Yellow and Grey" recalls Mistrust's recent train journey to Port Sunlight (the historic workers' village in Wirral, UK), on the ageing yellow and grey trains that pass through the village. These trains are being replaced by shiny new modern trains which are also yellow and grey! Hence the line "Yellow and Grey is here to stay!" The song's overall themes are nostalgia and new beginnings!

"Yellow and Grey" includes a line from the poem "From a Railway Carriage" by Robert Louis Stevenson (can you spot it?), and there's also a nod to the classic Kraftwerk song "Trans Europe Express" with Mistrust recording a German language version of Yellow and Grey ("gelb und grau") which is released alongside the original song.

Both songs are taken from Mistrust's forthcoming album which is out in Spring 2023.

Tim Blackburn, the UK singer-songwriter and remixer who records as Mistrust, is back with a new single called "Yellow and Grey". It marks his first new material since the release of his single "Never Let You Go" last year.

Yellow And Grey

Available Now on Limited Edition CD at https://mistrust.bandcamp.com/album/yellow-and-grey-ep-2

Dies ist die deutsche Version des Songs Yellow and Grey von Mistrust.
"Yellow and Grey" erinnert an Mistrusts kürzliche Zugfahrt nach Port Sunlight (dem historischen Arbeiterdorf in Wirral, Großbritannien), in den alternden gelben und grauen Zügen, die durch das Dorf fahren. Diese Züge werden durch glänzende neue moderne Züge ersetzt, die auch gelb und grau sind! Daher die Zeile "Gelb und Grau ist hier für immer !" Die übergeordneten Themen des Songs sind Nostalgie und Neuanfänge!

New Chester Road (Revisited) - Taken from the forthcoming album "Sunlight (Revisited)" - Buy Now at https://mistrust.bandcamp.com

New Chester Road Revisited takes the listener on a journey down the road of the same name, from Birkenhead via Port Sunlight. It's a metaphor about looking back on life and how things are no longer the same, but never really change.

I started playing the original version of New Chester Road (which was on my 2023 album "Sunlight") live at my gigs last year but wanted to try it with a more uptempo, electronic feel. Something a bit more in my Kraftwerk, OMD, and early Human League influenced style.

The beat I used in the new version reminded me of the one used in the song “The Quiet Men” by Ultravox in the John Foxx era (one of my favourite songs). I then ended up trying to replicate the stuttering bass line which sounds similar to the one performed by Chris Cross in The Quiet Men. When I heard that Chris had died, I felt that I wanted to pay my own tribute to him. Rather than do a cover version of an Ultravox song, this feels like a more personal thing to do and put out a song which is very much inspired by one of his classic bass lines and influential style.

New Chester Road (Revisited)

"Life" is the new single by Mistrust. It will be released on Friday 4th October 2024 at mistrust.bandcamp.com and on all major streaming platforms. 

I will be donating all proceeds from sales of "LIFE" to The Whitechapel Centre homeless charity in Liverpool. 

Presave "LIFE" now at https://linktr.ee/mistrustmusic

The song is about homelessness and is to raise awareness about the increasing number of people who are having leave their own homes and have nowhere else to live. Whether they can no longer afford their mortgages, or have been living in rented accommodation and being been told to leave by their landlords. The local authority housing teams can't help them, and they can't afford to rent privately, so they're having to stay long-term with relatives or friends.

I will be performing this new version of Life for the first time at "Primal Live" at Camp and Furnace in Liverpool on Sunday 6th October 2024. I'll be one of over 30 musical acts performing in a battle of the bands type contest to raise money for The Whitechapel Centre homeless charity.

"Life" is a new version of the song that was the opening track of my 2023 album "Sunlight".

LIFE

When I released my song "Yellow and Grey" in 2023, little did I know that it would become such a popular song with music fans, and with fans of the Merseyrail Class 507 and 508 electric trains that the song is about.

I wrote the song as not only a tribute to those trains, but as a nod to the all-time classic train song "Trans Europa Express" by Kraftwerk. It's an iconic song about an iconic train, which sounds far better being listened to in the original German language version. So in true fan mode, I decided to record a version of "Yellow and Grey" with German lyrics, despite not being able to speak German myself!

Not entirely satisfied with this version, I contacted two friends whose music is inspired by Kraftwerk, and one of whom now lives in Germany, and asked them to come up with a new version of "Yellow and Grey" which sounded like a proper tribute to Kraftwerk and Trans Europa Express. The result is Gelb und Grauzone which you hear today. //

Gelb und Grauzone will be available to buy at https://mistrust.bandcamp.com from Friday 1st November 2024 when you pre-order the limited edition EP "Yellow and Grey - The Farewell" by Mistrust.

Gelb und Grauzone

This song is from my upcoming EP which is the third and final in a series of limited edition CD releases to commemorate and celebrate the Class 507 and 508 electric trains in Liverpool region that have been in service for over 40 years, and are now being scrapped. It's about nostalgia, and life. These trains have carried people to school, work, hospital appointments, and social events. Relationships, marriages, even babies, have been conceived on these trains. The EP has also reunited me with an old school friend after 40 years of not being in touch! My friend Pete Allen (aka  Found Object on Bandcamp) agreed to do a remix/reworking of the title track "Yellow and Grey".  Fellow Bandcamper, Jess Brett, who is English, and now lives in Berlin, has provided vocals for the song in German, as a nod to Trans Europa Express by Kraftwerk
