A loped out lo-fi, downtempo, dubstep thing I call #SloKlubbeStyle. It's a version of the jazz standard Easy Livin' featuring Liana Vignoni reading her poem 'Tiredness'

Maybe it's jazz-dub or spoken-word-jazz. Who knows? Hope you enjoy anyway.

Beyond Tomorrow

Mmm... started life as a lo-fi hip hop track, then turned into some kinda reggae jazz hybrid. Rough cut, needs work. Thanks for listening tho.

Welcome You With Love (Yin Yang)

New Leaves (PP Rhythmic Guitar Solo Mix)

Strictly samples this time out (guitars safely packed away). Millennial downtempo/lo-fi hip hop featuring a recording I made of an Aussie poet, Brad Evans who lived in London in the late 90s

Non Stop To Where It Ends (ft. Brad Evans)

My (lockdown) take on Miles Davis' Four. In a funky/hip-hop/nu soul stylee I think. Rough cut - I should tidy it up, but I don't have time :-(

Four III

Loped-out, chilled, funky soulful instrumental. To chill to or whatever...

Montpellier Instrumental

Artist that's jumped genres and cities too often than is good for a man. From one of London's original "rappers" (1980s stylee) thru the reggae sound-systems of Harlesden, London NW10, to Oxford jazz guitarist, to Brighton house party rocker, thru chillout & spoken word impressario, thru Sheffield late night lounger. I liked Sheffield so I stayed, and picked up a 4 year residency at one of Sheffield's best-loved venues mining the best of quality dance music from 1930 to 1970-ish.

And now? The decks are mothballed and the guitars are back! I'm now writing songs & playing guitar in a wonderful Sheffield outfit which go by the name of Soul Love Inc. (see www.facebook.com/SoulLoveInc)

Come & check us out - quick - before I morph into a new incarnation!

Too late! I already have. Back to jazz guitar, sometimes with a little hip-hop flava
