What do I sound like?

I've been producing electronic music at home since the mid 90's. I caught the bug at school where our music teacher introduced the class to the joys of the Atari ST and MIDI keyboards. I bought my own Atari when I began working full time and never looked back, producing tune after tune first in a house and trance style and then in a more breaks orientated vibe.

By the time I could afford a PC in 2001, Propellerheads had created the spectacular Reason DAW and I never looked back. A whole world of new techniques and styles were open to me and its gotten to the stage now where I am even considering sending some of my stuff to some labels....

But the proof of any pudding is in the eating and the proof of a tune is in the listening so heres some of my work.....

Rhythm (from Greek ῥυθμόςrhythmos, "any measured flow or movement, symmetry") is the variation of the length and accentuation of a series of sounds or other events.

Lets get ready to rrr-umble!!!


Well its now the peak of the Great British Summer (insofar as we've had about 3-4 days of sun), so now is the ideal time to unleash the ridiculous fury of The Peanut Butter Jelly Sessions. The first in an ongoing series of mixes that encapsulates....well pretty much everything but the kitchen sink.

Taking us from early 90's pop & Grunge via Mary Poppins and then it all goes a bit hip hop before Rick Astley and The littlest Hobo see us off. BAM! You don't get tunes like this at your average high street nightclub! Well, unless its student night or they've got the cleaners in with the radio on.....hmph.

The Jackin' sound of Silas Greenback....




And the second part of today's mixtravaganza brings us some of my favourite boompty, crazy, jackin', wonky, irresponsible bass music known to man.

Mucho freshness for your earholes. (and Pigeon Street!!!!)

Click the title for the zshare linkage mofolios!

The full 2 hour show will be available from www.nsbradio.co.uk in the archives section. The full show is in 96kbps mono and does feature me chatting rubbish over the tunes be warned!!!

In the beginning there was jack.....





In the beginning there
was Jack ... and Jack had a groove.
And now so do I. Finally got my finger out of my botty and put together a blog to host all my show archives and stuff that's been in my head to blurt out to people I don't know on the internet.
Last nights show was something of a revelation for me as I'd spent the better part of a week programming my set, something I don't normally do. It paid dividends with some of my tightest mixing in Traktor. Booyah.

I'm busy preparing a 192kbps MP3 of the first 80 minutes of the show to post up for your enjoyment so this should be up soon. But not tonight, tonight is for shooting Super Mutants in the face in Fallout 3. Nothing like senseless Mutie slaughter to end a weekend on a high note....

Don't forget that this coming Saturday sees me covering Jim "Casual Breakin" on www.nsbradio.co.uk from 1-3pm UK time. I am doing a Casual Breakin' Tribute show for the Northern Leg-end with lots of mashups, booty's and some Wombles. Nice.
