Music Production
DJ ARIEL
Co-producer, Engineer & Musician
Working with Ariel changed my life. After two years of hard graft, we finally made the Hard House dance floor stomper - 'A9'. Released on the Essential label, this track was the catalyst for a slew of remixes including 'Sandstorm' by Darude and 'The Launch' by DJ Jean.
Even with no vocals, 'A9' still topped the dance charts in 2000, and got to No. 28 in the UK chart. "A9' was re-released in 2008, and my remix was Judge Jules track of the week.
This is where I really got my dance music chops. Thanks Ariel x
BBC WORLD SERVICE
Composer
I've always loved blending electronica with acoustic and classical instruments, and that is my intent when writing music for the BBC World Service. My music has been used on some of the World service's flagship programs, such as 'Exchanges on the Frontier', and for general channel branding.
PSYCHESTRA
Father & Son
My Father is a violinist and keyboardist who was part of Hawkwind, the seminal psychedelic rock band of the 1970's. I got my first taste of synths when I was very young, and I guess it stuck! The time came in 2011 when we would collaborate and form Psychestra. It is a blend of yearningly psychedelic violin and twisted breaks, with a sprinkling of electronica. Love it!

Here is a video to accompany the Psychestra track, 'Dance of the Muons'. Pretty trippy!
Stranger Things
Comprised with Logic Pro X sounds only
In my role as a educator of Music Technology, I have been tasked with recreating professional sounding remakes of well known songs. This remake of the 'Stranger Things' main theme, was a labour of love. At first, I thought it would be a simple task to recreate this track, but I was very badly mistaken. After much effort, I managed to achieve success, bearing in mind that I used only the stock sounds & synths of Logic Pro X.
