Like a bolt out of the blue, I will be appearing at Electrowerkz this Friday for some full on ravecore mashup action. This is probably one of the most mental parties in the UK and I feel honoured to be invited along. You can catch me at peak time in the middle room where I will be killing Islington with 90 minutes of live mashup mayhem.
I had planned to take two months off from gigging to get a new set together but things will have to be brought forward. See you all on Friday!
I’ve been meaning to do some more vids for a while, and after moving into a new studio finally got round to getting the dvcam out to capture some practice sessions. i’m having a real problem getting a reasonable audio level into my little panasonic camcorder so these are a bit distorted, but if you want the real hoonboy experience, just hassle your local promoter until they book me
This probably wont be relevant to most of you, but for those who are more familiar with Oxford English than Olde English it’s time to get educated.

Before my visit to Cork in March, I was interviewed by the regional newspaper. The interview is pretty accurate, although I am cited as a Drum n Bass DJ (!!).

Just recorded another live show with Pete Juxtaposeur, this time as agentblu, my ambient chilled other half. i’ve been writing bits of downtempo music since 2002 and this is a rare chance to get some of it aired.
The show will be broadcast on the last thursday of april, at 9pm(BST) via the Sound Unsound Network, and later archived for download on the Skip To The End homepage.
After the Cambridge gig I shall cruise over to Norwich to record a live set to be broadcast on www.livewire1350.com. The show is called ‘Parlour Games for the Disenchanted’ and is hosted by Dean and Sam. Its going out on 1st March at 10.30 pm.
. . . on the site at the minute, breakcore taking a back seat with things being dark and wintery as January often is. I have my head down at school, currently learning about the differences in slope characteristics of Neve, Pultec, Avalon and a few other EQs not to mention the Digidesign exams which are looming.
I have quite a few shows booked over the next few months, as well as an imminent house move with the chance to have a proper studio again so you can expect more live sets on the site and a few hoonboy dubpate exclusives. I have a few tunes that I’m writing on a slow burn, some solo and a collaboration too, although it will be a while before anything is released as my production is improving steadily as I progress through the course and the mastering module is yet to come. I have been reliably informed that this will include some input from the mastering engineer at Abbey Road Studios in London.
Well, according to the antipodeans, hoon means dangerous, reckless, or antisocial behaviour and their website encourages people to contact the police. I urge you not to do this if you see me, as i pose no personal threat.
” The anti-hoon package also includes a wheel clamping program, where cars are immobilised and dumped in their yard at home. ”
Sonically dangerous, musically reckless and likely to get my wheels clamped for antisocial behaviour. That is a Hoonboy.
i have just made a new binaural beat in the theta range for the purposes of sleeping. it begins around 7hz dropping to 1 or 2hz over 20 minutes. listening on headphones is essential for the process to work, as is getting left and right the correct way round.
for those of you that don’t know, binaural beats are a way of controlling the frequency of your brain and therefore your mental state using phase modulation. there’s plenty more info on wikipedia
this is best put on an ipod as the only track in the playlist. obviously don’t put it on when you’re riding your bike.
