The ecad project begins with music featured on BBC documentary ‘Surfing’s Dirty Secrets’ on BBCiPlayer. A pipeline of releases are already lined up that meet the World of groove and electronic music. Influences include: Herbie Hancock, Weather Report, Seiji, J Dilla, Domu, Bugz in the Attic, Jaco Pastorious, Fearless Flyers, Jazzanova, Louis Cole and Knower, Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Akufen, Matthew Herbert, House, Drum and Bass, Broken Beat, Nu-jazz, Hip-Hop, Tears for Fears, 5 Star, Ray Parker Jr. and the list goes on. 

Recent inspiration comes from a collision of input from media, podcasts and books. Rick Rubin and Theo Katzman among many others talking about the creative journey has reignited a sense that art is to be made to put in the World… and with that, here is ecad..
