Track List

In January 2012 I will be a launching a record label called 8755 in collaboration with the Biscuit Tin Sound System. The label will release music on super limited edition lathe cut vinyl and digital download. So far on the release schedule for the first few months, we have tracks by James Kelly and Pure Phase along with tracks and remix’s by Envelope, Luthor, Mau’lin, Om Unit and Si Tew…

Modular Analogue DJ Mixer

I use DJ equipment to create and perform original electronic music and I have been working on an approach to performance where I cut my music to vinyl and use three turntables to remix stems. I have also been experimenting with three deck mixing/scratching as part of Pure Phase, where two DJ’s perform together at the same time. I am looking to create a modular DJ mixer that has a range of analogue filters allowing me to sculpt the sound during performance.

Cutting Records

A few months ago, I bought a vinyl lathe so that I can cut my own one off records, known as lathe cuts or dubplates. The grooves are cut in realtime by the diamond stylus shown in the picture above.
