That middle section? Full early-2000s Tipper chaos. I went all in. Also, there's a pitched-down monologue from Severance (because why not?). This one is a trip—unpredictable, weird, but still grooves. Excited for you to hear it. Let me know what you think! 🚀🎶

"Leaving Party" is a whole different beast—much more bold & experimental. I first played this at a @groundwerk event at ANZA (shoutout to @joelwest for building that community). It’s broken beat but flips the usual rhythm—stacked chords, an eerie bassline, and a total switch-up in the middle.

He said a track should have two main characters dancing around each other. That concept really shaped the final version—think melodic house with fluttering synths (some @sebastienleger influence), punchy bass, eerie swooshes, and some modular synth experiments using the Panharmonium.

"Hundred Amps" had quite a journey. In 2022, I sent it to @robertbabicz & @marcromboy’s ‘Marotopia’ livestream, where they absolutely roasted it. 😂 (They actually loved my track "Trash Talk," which later dropped on @randomcollective). But Romboy gave me some great advice…

Just released "Hundred Amps" (A-side) & "Leaving Party" (B-side) on RF—huge thanks to @rennie_foster for the support! These tracks have been a long time coming, but I’m really proud of them. Hope you dig them too! 🎶

It might be acute tendinitis, or bursitis… still waiting for an MRI. Re: dancing, you are doing far better than me, I get invited to events and maybe I can manage an hour or two before I bail!

Feeling refreshed after a beautiful time in Mexico, I have two game projects that are properly moving, and a gig or two on the horizon. But also struggling with some kind of meniscus disintegration issue that’s plaguing me. The joys of ageing!

Yes! Let’s see what happens. I didn’t get twitter when it was good so idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hilariously you can’t edit your posts and I just caught a major error in my code lol. Great to hear from you, how is the UK treating you these days?

I guess you could say it was 0.9 decades ago, or float(decade) < 10

I remember whatever we went to was lame (sorry ableist) and I was embarrassed
