Updating my website to include recent interviews around my LP ‘Moments in Time’….
When Part 1 of my album was released in November I spoke to Dave Jenkins at UKF for a good hour or so about the album and my life leading up to it. Editing it down into this coherent piece is one of Dave’s greatest achievements as a journalist. This one goes pretty deep at times, and there were some dark times during the making of my album, but you need these life lessons to push you forwards.
Knowledge Mag was always my go-to resource for news on the scene when I was growing up… so I was very happy when I was sent a set of questions by the bossman Colin to discuss my album in an interview for the website.
For many years I’ve worked as a teacher alongside my career in the drum & bass scene. I’m now taking on new students for 1-1 production lessons, and until January I’m offering 3 hours of tuition for £100.
If your partner is an aspiring producer this could be a perfect Xmas gift, or you might just wish to take advantage of this offer for yourself and sharpen your skills. All students will receive:
• Feedback on your music from an industry professional
• Bespoke music production lesson (1-1 via Skype) with content tailored directly to your current skill level and your needs
• Three hours tuition for the price of two (must purchase before Jan 2019)
• Lesson arranged at a time and date to suit your schedule – evenings and weekends available
• Optional Gift Certificate to open on Xmas Day
I’m looking forward to helping more people advance their production skills. Email me for bookings and more information:

I was recently asked to put together an Artist Focus playlist for Dispatch Recordings. It’s not a top ten, it’s more of an insight into my style, featuring classic and future influences along with a selection of my music for the label and some of my recent releases. Hit the link to hear some music I love: Dispatch Artist Focus – Philth
This one has been out for a few weeks now, but if you haven’t heard it yet then hit the links below to hear my second EP with Phil Tangent on Integral Records. If you’d told me 10 years ago that I would be releasing multiple EP’s on Artificial Intelligence‘s label I would have laughed in your face, but since I’ve linked up with Phil the music has been flowing beautifully and we’re close to completing EP 3.
If you like what you hear then head to the Integral store to bag yourself a copy on vinyl. Meanwhile we’ll put the finishing touches on the next project.

I’m playing three shows this week – D&B TV in London on Wednesday, DxB in Lyon on Friday, and finally Interface Presents in Bremen on Saturday. So much music to play, and three hours in Germany to play whatever I want!
Go to my FB page and I am giving away some guestlist spots to both of the weekend’s shows….
First posted to Soundcloud a few weeks ago, this is my first mix of 2018, in a slightly different format. I probably won’t do a mix every month this year, but when I do I’m going to draw for the freshest tunes and showcase some of my forthcoming material – so no tracklists.
Big massive shout to my agent Steve at The Bassic Agency.
I have gigs coming up in Austria, Bristol, The Netherlands, France, Germany, Belgium and Romania in the next few months. Very grateful for the opportunity to travel around playing my music. Give Steve a shout if you want to bring me to your city 
Very very happy to say that today is the general release date for the Phil:osophy remix of Artificial Intelligence – Justify ft Terri Walker, released on Metalheadz (Razors Edge) and available in all stores on vinyl and digital.
Feels bloody great to have a release on one of the greatest labels in our scene, and Goldie and AI are two artists who have influenced me massively on my journey through DnB as a listener, DJ and producer. It was AI who first linked me and Phil up over a beer and tequila at Soul In Motion and we have got loads more music coming on their label Integral. EP 2 is done and mastered and EP 3 is well on the way. Feels like we are just getting warmed up!
A while back I posted about how important it was to avoiding listening to DnB while you’re writing, to avoid copying people and just to get some other ideas into your music.
I don’t use Spotify to listen to DnB, I use it to enjoy other genres of music and discover new (sometimes old) artists. So if you’d like to hear some of the stuff I listen to on a daily basis, follow the link. Oh and you can hit the follow button while you’re there 😃
