Stenchival

A few weeks ago we put on a mini Stench Festival, with 2 nights of electronic music at The Great Central Gallery, Leicester. The first night was curated by Bathysphere with peformances from Asmo, Neil Unreal, Sam Dodson and myself. The second night was hosted by PVC, with performances from BJ Cole VS Myoptik, Phaelah, Samual and the Dragons, Glatze and Wassim. With sound system prived by the Biscuit Tin Sound System. The gig was broadcast live on Ustream and the video above is from the first night, filmed by Jaqueline Cheval.

I’ve recently bought a Korg Zero4 DJ mixer and I’m using it with Ableton and Traktor Scratch Pro. I’ve been spending a lot of time composing and I use this gear and DJ techniques to realise my music in performance. This gig was my first opportunity to try it out in performance. Thanks to all the event organisers for a great weekend of gigs!

Circuit Bending meets Turntablism at the Bathysphere Studio

I’ve been back at the Bathysphere studio with Asmo this week, working on the finishing touches to the track “The devils in the detail”. Its a duet of scratching meets circuit bent noise.

Asmo Collaboration

I’m in the studio with Asmo from Bathysphere this week, to work on a few tracks for his new album. The MP3 below is a little sketch that came from our first jam a few months back. The bass line is from the tasty modular synth Asmo is using in the picture!
