Post-electronic music. Beats and melodies.

Solar Drift out now - https://touched.bandcamp.com/album/solar-drift

Made some inquiries on putting on an event in a disused nuclear bunker in the west of Edinburgh. It's been used for music events before. Still very early stages, but gauging early interest if it were to go ahead?

Took a little wip video and realised my studio space sums up my entire personality. Beer, war and peace novel, xbox controller, novation peak.

A long-winded bevvy merchant musician that plays video games. That's my eulogy sorted.

The old flying pint glass and pool cue over the heed combo. Great to see my wee town keeping up pub punch-up traditions.

The CD run sold out in 1 day!

Still some vinyl remaining if you're quick.

Massive props to everyone who bought a copy within the first few hours of release last night. You've already made this one of Bandcamp's best selling electronic albums currently.

Down to last few CDs. Still some vinyl left but selling quickly.

Right, enough album stuff...I'm going to the pub.

Bit more techno than is ordinary for me. But this is a great remix record that you need to get your ears into.
