Slamming Techno from the 90s

If you hate this sort of thing then go somewhere else instead.



This mix, which I made back in 1999 while at university in Leeds, has been lying around on successive hard drives ever since. Its previous moment of fame was when it was broadcast on Leeds Student Radio. At about 4am. On a Tuesday morning. So, to a listenership of, ooh, probably about one person.

I can’t recall the exact playlist, but it features tracks by Surgeon, G-Man, UR, Dave Clarke, Cristian Vogel, Adam Beyer, The Advent, Neil Landstrumm and an intro by yours truly.

Get it while it’s still hot

Something That She Said

A few weeks ago I did a photoshoot with the band Star Chamber (some photos here).

They were a very nice bunch of chaps to work with and, as such, I'm writing this post to support, in some small way, the release of their new EP Something That She Said. It's not the sort of stuff I'd typically listen to, but I really like both tracks.

You can buy the EP (and support their bid to get into the charts) here from TuneTribe.com or here from iTunes.

New Tune

I've done a remix of the track that I made at the start of the year, and have also 'tweaked' the original a bit. Listen below, or download the mp3s here.

Happyfour Twenty

Reduced To This

I created this track back in 1995 on a Roland keyboard in the music department at School. It is one of three I did at the time. They had originally been recorded onto audio cassettes, then – a few years later while at university – I recorded them off the tapes and archived them onto a recordable CD.

I recently found the CD but unfortunately it seems to have decayed so most of the data is unreadable. I managed to get half of this track to load anyway, and have converted it to MP3. Here it is. A little bit naive, but nice...

Day One

New tune. So called because it was the only constructive thing to come out of my hangover on Jan 1st.

Oh, you probably won't like it unless you enjoy minimal techno, by the way...

Back to London tomorrow. Work on Thursday. My new year's resolution is to set aside some time each week to keep up the music production.

Soul » Devil

OK, so I've slated MySpace countless times in the past, because it is pretty ugly, clunky, buggy and so on. Blah blah...

But: There's no denying that it's pretty good for promoting music, and there's the small matter of it having rather a lot of members. So I've created a profile page on which to air my bleepy computer music. And it's here:

myspace.com/firstpersonmusic

And no, I've not 'Pimped' my page, sorry.


My Last FM profile will remain for the more sophisticated web users.

Stay Forever

Stay Forever is the B side of Another Visitor.

Another Visitor

OK, after way too many years of not getting round to this, I've finally sat down and put a finished track together.

A bit of deep melodic electro, this is one of two tracks off the 'Another Visitor EP'. The other one's not actually finished yet but I'll add it to this release when it's ready.

Listen here on Last FM.

And as it's Christmas, the MP3 is available as a FREE download on the Last FM page. Season's Greetings!
