Welcome to my new site!
Purpose? To create purpose. To express creativity. To tell stories. To ensure immortality.
I have high hopes.
As a first creation / expression / tale / ensurance, here is a drum n bass mix I made this morning at about 6:30am. I went out for a couple of drinks with a neighbour last night, meaning I slept very poorly – cannot process alcohol very well as I get older (truthfully, for about the last 44 years). So up I got and, with Coconut The Cat constantly miaowing in the background, I proceeded to play and record some tunes I recently purchased. All great tunes obviously, and a pleasant way to start my Sunday. Minimal mixing today, I decided to relax and let the tunes run…
Drum n bass has been a love of mine since the mid-90s. I really got into it while studying Philosophy (nonchalantly) at University of Bristol 1998-2001. An amazing time for drum n bass – Bristol was a real hub, Roni Size won the Mercury Music Prize, a golden age. Even more amazingly, it’s still big, with lots of club nights and a dedicated following (far more dedicated than me – big up Ben!). I got back into mixing a couple of years ago – digitally this time (in fact, I recently bit the bullet and sold the rest of my vinyl, meaning more cash towards my new clarinet (watch this space) and more room in the living room). I would love to also get back into producing music, but time is limited…
I’ll use this site to share some of my passions, which seem to change quite regularly. At the moment, planning to share mixes, photos of / guides to areas in London, my experiences learning clarinet and some sketches.
Enjoy the mix!
