New Release: Perspectives on Tradition

I'm excited to share 'Perspectives On Tradition' , a collaborative record with Stick in the Wheel that I've contributed to alongside Nabihah Iqbal and Olugbenga. The band invited us to explore what traditional culture and music is to us and explore the vast folk library and music archive of London's Cecil Sharp House.

For my contributions I focused on exploring recordings from Leicestershire folk clubs and folklore, the tradition of re-imagining songs from the past and its similarities to sampling and the value of timeless messages (one song dates back to the late 1600s!).

The record is out now to stream and buy digitally, on tape, cd and with a zine.

New Mix: Keep Hush Set

I am very excited to share my recent set for Keep Hush, presented by Ila Brugal!

For this set I wanted to go in with the party vibes and showcase a bit of everything I like to play - hitting just over 40 tracks in 50 minutes from Jersey Club to funky to dubstep to juke to jungle to halftime to liquid to electro and beyond in a quick mix style! It’s the most fun set I’ve had in a minute and definitely the most sweaty! Biggup everyone who was there for making it so fun and vibey and Pav4n and Sgt Pokes for jumping on hosting the set as a surprise!
