Rewired is a high-voltage fusion of Drum & Bass, Neurofunk, and Jump Up, marking the next chapter in my sound’s evolution since 2024. Across four tracks, the EP pulses with electrifying basslines, razor-edged synths, and glitch-laced textures - all wrapped in a dark, cybernetic atmosphere.

From mechanical grooves to relentless rhythms, Rewired dives headfirst into the raw intensity of the underground. It’s wired for chaos, built for movement, and shaped by the quirks that define my production style.

The Underground

It is a serene and emotive track dedicated to my daughter, Karmann.

It begins with sweeping soundscapes that evoke a sense of tranquillity and introspection. As gentle percussion enters, a downtempo beat takes shape, setting a relaxed yet rhythmic atmosphere.

As the track progresses, the drums build into a fast-paced drum & bass pattern, but the serene sounds continue, juxtaposed by the rapid pace. Throughout the track, subtle piano melodies weave in, adding a layer of elegance and heartfelt emotion.

While guitars are a regular feature in my work, they are absent here, allowing the focus to remain on the lush electronic textures and evocative melodies, creating a poignant and contemplative listening experience.

“Orchid” is a heartfelt tribute, blending musical craftsmanship with personal sentiment in a beautiful and resonant composition.

"The Death of Santa Claus" opens with an ironic, almost ominous holiday tone - soft sleigh bells ring out in the distance, evoking a sense of nostalgia. A cinematic fanfare of triumphant Christmas trumpets swells, building an almost majestic atmosphere as if celebrating the arrival of the holiday season. But this peaceful introduction is short-lived. Suddenly, the bells warp and distort, and the fanfare crumbles into chaos.

Without warning, the track explodes into a relentless barrage of heavy, pounding drums and vicious basslines, symbolising the violent end of Christmas cheer. The low-end frequencies growl and shake the track’s core, while fractured, jagged synths slice through the mix like shards of broken ornaments. Aggressive breakbeats propel the track forward, pushing the listener through a sonic onslaught that’s as chaotic as it is cathartic. Dissonant, distorted holiday melodies surface briefly, only to be swallowed by waves of thunderous sub-bass and dark, frenetic energy.

As the track barrels toward its conclusion, the soundscape becomes more chaotic and fractured, like the final moments of a dying tradition. "The Death of Santa Claus" is an intense, darkly playful rollercoaster of sound, capturing the fall of Father Christmas with furious beats and bass-driven destruction.

It’s the perfect anti-Christmas soundtrack for those who’ve had enough of the usual festive cheer

Ethereal sounds swell and ebb, mirroring the complex emotions that come with longing for someone special.

Throughout the track, bright twinkling melodies echo, offering glimmers of hope amidst the sorrow.

While the weight of missing someone creates a profound sense of sadness, memories of laughter and smiles rise to the surface, intertwining with the heavier themes.

This is the "Frank Version" of my track "Do You Believe in Time Travel?" - as this track draws from the film Donnie Darko, I thought I should include the words of Frank.

The third instalment in the Vampire Cries series, “Velvet Ashes” drifts through the crumbling streets of Havana, where memory lingers like smoke and nothing stays dead for long. Driven by ghostly breakbeats and deep, mournful bass, the track tells the story of two vampire lovers lost in time - haunted by a past they can’t outrun. AI-generated spoken vocals unravel the narrative with quiet intensity, blending sensual decay and sorrow into a dreamlike descent. This is vampire mythology soaked in dust, chrome, and dusk - where every heartbeat echoes like a lost dance in the dark.

Lyrics (Written by Paul Massey):

Velvet ashes, smoke and flame
We had a past, not a name
Cherry red on rusted chrome
We burn, we bleed, we drive alone

Moonlight falls on broken stone
She moves like jazz, I move like bone
Laughter lingers in the heat
Cigars, decay, blood on the beat

We were dancers once, in heels and silk
Now just ghosts in black and milk
No more war, no need to run
But we don’t sleep, we chase the sun

She hums the tune the city forgot
Hair like smoke, her touch still hot
Eyes like Havana at midnight’s bend
We begin again, but we never end

Velvet ashes, Havana sighs
Old cars gleam where love still lies
In alley shadows, we kiss, we fade
Two dead hearts still misbehave

Rooftops crack, the radios moan
We slow-dance where we once atoned
Cuba sleeps, but we rewind
To the heat, the wine, the sharp decline

Crimson lips, a bite, a laugh
A lifetime lived in a photograph
Now we ride with mirrors blind
Hunting memory, killing time

She drapes her dress on the breeze like sin
Says, “Love, let’s burn this world again”
I smile and light the engine slow
Then drive where only vampires go

Velvet ashes, Havana sighs
Smoke curls up through bloodshot skies
A city still in love with flame
We live, we die, we feel the same

In every beat the past survives
In every step, our love revives
We are echoes, old goodbyes
Still dancing slow through vampire cries

She turns to me with eyes like flame
Says, “We never left — we just remain”
The streets remember, the city knows
Our names are written in the undertow

Velvet ashes, we remain
Carved in chrome, kissed by rain
Beneath the palm trees, red and gold
We are the fire no one can hold

Velvet ashes, love decays
Buried deep where silence stays
We kissed in blood, then turned to stone
This city’s heart is not our own

No footsteps now, just hollow sound
The city sleeps beneath the ground
Our names are dust, our love undone
Velvet ashes - and we are none

The fourth instalment in the Vampire Cries series transports the story to the neon-soaked streets of Shibuya, Tokyo. Driven by a fierce Drum & Bass rhythm and layered with haunting vocals, this track follows the two vampire lovers as they hunt through the crowds under the cover of night. Their bond, as forbidden as their dark work, pulses through the music - a blend of urgency, danger, and deep, undeniable connection. The atmosphere is electric and cinematic, capturing both the chaos of the city and the raw emotion between the two.

Lyrics (written by Paul Massey):

Neon bleeds, city pulse
Shadows twist - we feel the jolt
Fangs flash under crimson skies
Tokyo screams with vampire cries

Shibuya hunts, we move like fire
Lips like sin, hearts full of desire
Bloodlust beats in every vein
We rule this night - unchained, insane

She’s the spark, a razor queen
Wrapped in black and gasoline
Eyes like dusk, skin like flame
Say her name - it ends the same

Tokyo bloodlust, heat on skin
Dark romance, let the hunger in
In neon haze, we kiss and kill
Two souls burning - can’t sit still

Blades out, heels on steel
Kisses bite and shadows feel
Coven close, our rhythm grows
Drenched in red, the hunger shows

Lanterns hum, the city moans
Vampire love carved into stone
Cherry bloom and crimson rain
Tokyo’s ours - remember the name

She’s the spark, a razor queen
Wrapped in black and gasoline
Eyes like dusk, skin like flame
Say her name - it ends the same

Tokyo bloodlust, heat on skin
Dark romance, let the hunger in
In neon haze, we kiss and kill
Two souls burning - can’t sit still

She’s the spark, a razor queen
Wrapped in black and gasoline
Eyes like dusk, a slow burn pain
Call her close - you won’t remain

Tokyo bloodlust, thrill and sin
Danger sweet - let the dark begin
In neon haze, we blur the line
Two souls twisted - lost in time

Fangs deep, the beat won’t lie
We dance, we burn, we never die
This love, this curse, this dark refrain
Tokyo bloodlust - in your veins

Lyrics (Preview):

Euphoria, pullin’ me down slow,
Caught in this wave, I’m lettin’ it go.
Bassline hit, feel it take control,
Feet off the ground, I’m losin’ my hold.

Driftin’ in waves, light in my mind,
Lost in this groove, leave it all behind.
Fallin’ through shadows, I’m feelin’ free,
Let the beat take the best of me.
