Been a while but I've released a brand new track today :) Asta Hiroki - 'Air' is out now everywhere via the good folks at @hipdozer Nostalgic melodies and swirling textures solid head nodding beat that takes you away for a moment or two. Listen: ffm.to/air_single

Very excited to be able to announce that I'll be playing a show @TheJazzCafe in London on August 10th w/ Blockhead Over the moon to have been invited to share a stage with him at such a great venue. Tix available Friday here: thejazzcafelondon.com/event/blockhea…

Our own Asta Hiroki was featured in The Guardian today for his scoring work with Ceyda Tanc Dance combining traditional Turkish sounds with modern electronica and leftfield dance. Very proud. Have a read here: theguardian.com/stage/2023/may…

Mentioned in The Guardian today for my work with Ceyda Tanc Dance Surreal to read a review featuring myself in such a well known paper. Thoroughly enjoyed scoring the show and if you get a chance to see it on tour you definitely should! theguardian.com/stage/2023/may…

I have a new single out today folks. 'Never Lose An Opportunity' is the title, deconstructed from a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote. Musically it's more David Axelrod meets BADBADNOTGOOD, you should def check it... Listen: ffm.to/neverloseanopp…

I had the pleasure of mastering this gem of a record from fthmlss and it really is a joy from start to finish. Big beats, soulful, and a real journey from the first notes to the last. Do go listen, and if you like vinyl, well, you know what to do: fthmlss.bandcamp.com/album/cycles

'Lull' is the latest cut taken from my forthcoming EP 'Of Seeing Anything' due this Autumn. A short-form, hazy and soulful joint laced with psychedelic fog and esoteric sonics. Hope you enjoy. Listen: ffm.to/lull

The talented producer and visual artist A. Whales is back with a woozy lofi house banger. 'Trust Your Feelings' is packed with fuzzy around the edges synths, distant emotive vocal snaps and a beefy overdriven low end. Tight video too.... Listen: ffm.to/trustyourfeeli…

Last new single of the year out today via Hip Dozer - 'Blissed' Starting out as a Satie-like solo piano piece, this one morphed effortlessly into a beat like a rowboat on a summers day. Listen: ffm.to/blissed

SO to the Parisian Uber Driver who decided to make an impromptu stop at the boulangerie during my time-strapped trip to the airport because he fancied a croissant. Also easyjet for changing boarding gate without an announcement. Getting more grey hair by the second 😂
