3rd in the series of fried disco / soul.
we've not wanted to leave the dancefloor
and taken the cool back
meaning we get back when the sun gets up.


being awake at sunrise used to mean an epic night to be talked about for years.  this is for everyone who i've seen the sun rise with.  

these days, it usually means i've got some ridiculous deadline to meet and so have had to work through the night.  whilst there are many more tools and info at your fingertips to make the job faster.... doing strategy in a creative / advertising agency is a constant rush of never having the time to stop and think properly.  jobs that would have had 3-4 weeks just 10 years ago would now have 2-3 days max allocated.
of course, when I am up through the night, the odd break or two does tend to lead to messing around with samples and sounds as a distraction.  which helps keep up the writing productivity and creativity.  maybe creativity just needs unreasonable constraints to thrive....

photo taken at selsey at sunrise. with love to mum.  i miss you xx

It's time... to live guitar jam one of my own ;)

Collateral Effect was the 1st track I produce with a mindset of "following my instincts", and I was really happy with the outcome.

1 new guitar effect being used yet I think I'm starting to lean towards one specific clean sound and another distorted one.

Experimenting with a new vibe, more dub elements yet kept it groovy.  Not sure what would be the general genre though, always a struggle 🙃

Played with my 1st ever multi-effect, a lil reminder of little me 😇

Echoic (Groovy Dub)

1st time incorporating an actual bass guitar in the jam. I will definitely invest in one for my production. I feel it helps with the creative process.

1st set to be recorded in Dahab. Didn't expect to record in a hotel balcony but the vibe was really calling for it.

I always connected with this sound: organic, deep and emotional melodies. I will definitely produce a track with such sounds at one point as Jan Blomqvist is one of my top inspirations for this kind of sound.

FYS 013 . Minimal House w/ Live Guitar

AN OVER 2.5 HOUR SPACE JOURNEY WITH LIVE GUITAR THAT TAKES YOU ON A GALACTIC VOYAGE. THIS MULTI GENRE SET BRINGS YOU THROUGH THE ETHERS AND BACK DOWN TO EARTH. This is a pure expression of what I love without boundaries.

Traveling across many genres, the journey begins with ethereal and earthy bass music eventually leading into DNB, Trance/Techno, Dubstep, then Trap and other melodic grooves.  

My experience as an ecstatic dance DJ has greatly inspired this set and I invite anyone who's listening to tap into their bodies.  Let loose and dance it out however you feel.  This journey was created for not only me to express but for others to have fun with it as well. 

Frog noises w/ manual laser sounds included

GALACTIC VOYAGE SOUND JOURNEY with LIVE GUITAR 🎸

This song features several layers of guitar compiled with lots of subtleties carefully sculpted in it's stereo image, among glassy textures and a propelling energy. 
Glass Octopus captures the mysterious, dark, moody depths of the deep sea and it's ominous sense of tranquility in the vast unknown, in a song that can be enjoyed laying down with headphones on, dancing through the night to, or bumping at high volumes in your car. There is a sort of dreamy, watery atmosphere with a hypnotic calmness to it, set to the constant beating drums of a fat 808 bass, that momentarily takes you out of the real world and immerses you in a universe of peaceful mystery. 
(The name is inspired by the real deep sea animal, the glass octopus. A translucent, mysterious creature.)

Glass Octopus

This is a remake of a track from the 2007 album 'Switching You On'.  machines booting up and shutting is a common theme it seems.
this one's quite dub  / dubstep in style.  just with quite poppy singing!!
guitar and bass guitar was recorded live back in 2007.
Cover art is an AI engine hallucinating from a description of the track.!!!

Happy Days Are Here Again II

Towards the end of last year i got really inspired by Pretty Lights. I ended up down a rabbit hole on how to blend multiple genres using samples while adding a little touch of my own.

Finally another one out in the wild. This one was inspired by a little jam I had while waiting for my shrimp sandwich in Dahab. I was aiming to use the exact vocal line but eventually it took another direction but I kept the chord progression with a minor change.

Lyrics:
Sleeping through the storm  
I'm not afraid
Running down the hall
Screaming

Caught me after dark
Nearly out of breath
Time was running out
I'm Dreaming

Just leave… cause I’m not Forgotten

Peace, Love, &Gratitude.

Growing up, I dreamed of shredding a guitar solo on stage like Slash in November Rain. Then I discovered electronic music and everything changed. The vast range of sounds and their ability to take us on a unique journey pulled me in. 

After DJin for a while, the urge to play the guitar came back stronger than ever, and that's when I decided to explore the fusion of my rock roots with electronic sounds.

Started as a hobby, I decided at 40 to embark on this journey where I can be myself and express my creative freedom.

A mindset shift needed to happen. A mindset free from fear.

My mission is to inspire people to find courage to be whom they are meant be
