Are Things Happening?
Hello all, Once again, it's been a while since I've updated things on here. Apologies for that, 2026 has been a bit of a mess so far behind the scenes, not sure if it's changing any time soon, but here's to trying. So had a bit of a tidy up of the discography page, I'll get around to the remix/production page next.

@nprofile…0e7h great track, worth the time taken.
Who doesn’t love a little nod to The KLF as well.

Still learning new things with the #sp404mk2
Tonight’s learning curve was a bank of patterns all having to share the same BPM. Essentially, the 4 bars where the tempo changes by 37BPM before reverting back to the original slower tempo needed a bit of work.

So, now I’m unemployed, does that mean I’m now a full time/professional musician?

Currently working with so many sample chops I’m not even sure which track I’m working on any more.

@nprofile…ul39 feeling your pain. Currently waiting on an engineer to come replace wiring on our broadband.

2026-04-11 19:06:12 GMT

Might make some music tonight.
Might watch a movie.
I’ve not decided yet.

2026-04-10 22:30:15 GMT

Great night of new music with @nprofile…p0c4 fresh and chat show (not just saying this as 2 of my tracks featured) and the listening party for the new #bonkwave comp.
Also, such a great, diverse set of musicians across the fediverse. Proper sense of community.
Feeling very inspired, although I probably should get some sleep.

@nprofile…0ceu it’s when you get to asking what is #NotBonkWave it gets really confusing. If it helps there’s a #bonkwave listening party later.

First up Fresh and Chat at 18:00 UTC over at https://tv.theindiebeat.fm
Then a listening party for disc 1 of the latest #Bonkwave compilation at 20;00 UTC over at https://party.bonkwave.org
Come join the chat and listen to some awesome tunes.

Music for the next release all done, just working on artwork ideas. Getting all professional with this one with bleed areas to make resizing easier or something. Or maybe there might be an idea for a physical version that involves many pages of artwork. #TeasingIdeas

Meanwhile, I’m chopping up Irish folk music pluderphonic style.
All is right with the world.

2026-02-05 20:12:02 GMT

Nothing new from me tomorrow, but I did put something out last week. As always, feel free to use the "costofliving" discount code (without the quotes) for a 30% discount on anything from a single release to my entire discography.
Any support is much appreciated, especially as real life has taken a bit of a turn recently so money's a bit tight. I know I'm not the only one but I really is appreciated.

Fun times.

2026-02-01 23:34:19 GMT

Ok, so I’d already submitted a track for the next Bonkwave compilation but thought I’d download the samples and make a sample challenge track as well. After a couple of days meeting in my SP404 got some good loops going, just added some vocals from a special guest and a little bit of extra bass tonight. Might be another extra guest adding something else too over the next couple of days if I can get it sorted.

In music news, might put something out later this week. Found some mostly finished tracks so just having a final tweak. Going to try and get a DJ mix recorded over the next couple of days as well.

2026-01-24 23:39:52 GMT

Meant to post this earlier, just got reminded by the subject of this photo.
When I say ‘reminded’ I mean purred at and nuzzled against.

And just like that, I’m on paid suspension from the day job pending investigation. This week has started well.

2026-01-08 21:19:26 GMT
