Dial in the drive, make the lights goes red and enjoy the journey. Inspired by a love of all things electric, eclectic and that sit outside of the distribution curve. When it comes to pitching tracks, it can be difficult to decide on genre. I love this…keep translating mental imagery, those swirling or distinct sounds that you wake up with and all is well. Hope you enjoy and if you can dance to this…even better. Retro Fitted Memory is the outcome of a cumulative residual set of memories of sound that have swirled around my head for decades. Was it that episode of Miami Vice or that album by Rock legends (…….) I don’t know. It’s the ‘tone’ that was and still is cemented in my mind that I was trying to convey rather than the notes. There’s a silvered gold colour for me. Hopefully, you can immerse a little and capture 3 minutes of well-being through sound. Thanks for stopping by 😎

Retro Fitted Memory

ARPRAXIS is a vinyl DJ, Techno, House and U.K. breaks artist. The music is electronic and genre-fused. Music from the soul. Inspired by early Detroit artists like Carl Craig, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson. The early 90s Hardcore, Jungle and DnB magic makes up a majority of my record collection topped with hard-hitting gabber, techno and tracks from Detroit that still give me goosebumps…Red Planet ‘Star Dancer’ and Casey Tucker for example are sublime. Check the links below for upcoming releases. Thanks for stopping by.

Never the Bridle in interview with Mark Watkins: tinyurl.com/5n7frwf6

Come say hi: bsky.app/profile/neverthebridle.bsky.soc

'Lessons' was a November 2024 Fresh on the Net 'Fresh Fave' and has been played on Exile FM and North Manchester FM.

'Lessons', 'Say it now', 'Over and out', and several more album tracks, have had Amazing Radio airplay and are airing on their indie, pop, and rock + metal genre streams.

You can now hear them along with the rest of the album: 'Eldest Daughter Energy'.

-----------

Solo singer-guitarist-bassist writing upbeat indie songs about anxiety and postpartum life. Keen to write for other artists.

I record the vocals, guitars and bass at home. Guest drums and production are by Martyn James.

The artist name is a reference to the scold's bridle, an archaic instrument of punishment primarily used on women.

I’m a singer-songwriter from Derbyshire. All songs on here are demos. Just recorded on my phone or iPad. I have songs also on philbus.bandcamp.com . Also on YouTube at @Philbus77 . I’m also on instagram at @philbus850 . My email is philbus850@gmail.com . 
    I love bands like Crowded House, Embrace, Depeche Mode, New Order and singer-songwriters like Josh Ritter, Josh Rouse, Neil Young, Kara Jackson and also all of the girls from Boygenius. Please check out my new album Tales on www.philbus.bandcamp.com
   I have been writing songs since I was about 10 years old, maybe even a bit longer as I can recall being younger than that and strumming a toy guitar and singing some sort of melody. I can play the keys a little bit and that’s where I write my songs at the keyboard, because I don’t have a band behind me, at the moment songs are recorded using keyboard presets as backing music with me singing over into my iPad. 
  I’m in the process of changing my setup and will soon start using a laptop and a keyboard to make hopefully a more unique sound, at least I hope more professional.
  I hope that you enjoy my music, that’s why I make it, because I enjoy it and I want other people to as well.
  Thanks, from Philbus, or Phil if you want to be more personal.

Based in Wiltshire creating chilled out and the occasional not so chilled out electronic tunes :)

Interested in collaboration especially with a singer/song writer

"Welsh electronic producer Sonophoria is quietly building a reputation as one of the UK’s most intriguing underground names" (BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson’s 'Fresh On The Net', Fresh Faves #574 by John Michie, 23 Jun 2025)

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Sonophoria is a Welsh Electronic Music Producer who in their short career has already been featured on SoundCloud’s Flagship Global Top 50 Electronic Music playlist “Buzzing Electronic” in April 2024. 

Also, since starting submitting to BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson's ‘Fresh on the Net’ in January 2024, they have been featured 15 times in Eclectic Picks, selected for the Listening Post 5 times and a featured Fresh Fave in September 2024 and June 2025. 

Think a blend of Avicii, Chemical Brothers & Prodigy (ie melodic electronic music fused with eclectic/alternative elements). Also House, Progressive, Trance & EDM Producer.
