R-Type, Treasure Island Dizzy, Skool Daze, Haunted House, Double Dragon and of course Manic Miner. Was only just reading this lovely article on Chuckie Egg yesterday: www.theguardian.com/games/2026/a...
If you make indie games or movies, and are looking for music for your project, I'm interested in collaborating with other folks on creative things. Need original tracks? Want to use something I've already put out there? Happy to discuss! Please do pass this on if someone you know fits this bill 🙂
Realised today that I've reached 1,000 streams across YT and Bandcamp since I started uploading my music. Rookie numbers, I know, but it's still a lot more than I expected at this stage. Thanks to everyone who's lent their ears, their thoughts, and supported me so far.
Currently flirting with some summery tech-house for the first time, while also playing around with some harder acid techno. Loving the contrast. Appreciate that some people advise to pick a lane and stick to it, but I'm enjoying experimenting - and my listening taste is pretty varied as it is.
New tune. A little...fiery 🔥 #techno

Fantastic how many YT tutorials are out there to help aspiring producers. EDM Tips' kick/EQ vids and Alice Efe's snare/bass tips have been invaluable to me. Recently, seeing 8Kays running hi-hats through Vocoder was a real moment. What's been your favourite #musicproduction tip? #Ableton #techno
Something is brewing... #musicproduction #ableton
Found this really compelling. Only just been spinning some classic e-Dancer over the weekend (Velocity Funk), so watching this has felt like a nice, timely coincidence #techno

Big thanks to everyone who's shared kind comments about the new EP so far. Glad to hear you're enjoying it. There's been a lot of (deserved) praise for @voxparlour.bsky.social's stylish cover art too - which is lovely to see 🙂
Like #gaming? Like #techno? Fancy some synth-laden #electronicmusic to soundtrack your weekend? My new WipEout-inspired tracks are now on my YouTube channel, along with a bunch of other stuff I've put out there. Hope you enjoy the listen...

Also love this vid from @jimtrinca.bsky.social on the same topic. Nice to know so many other folks feel the same way :)

If you're keen to find out more about why the WipEout 2097 soundtrack was so revolutionary, or just want to reminisce, I can't recommend this retrospective/interview with Tim Wright by @dannyodwyer.bsky.social @noclipvideo.bsky.social enough #techno #gaming

If you like my latest tracks, and aren't familiar with the work of Tim Wright/CoLD SToRAGE, I can't recommend his work on the WipEout and WipEout 2097 soundtracks enough. Some of the very best #electronicmusic of the '90s in my book. Still listen to them regularly.

Huge thanks to @voxparlour.bsky.social for creating the luscious artwork once more! :)
Inspired by the #90s WipEout #PlayStation games, my new EP 'Psygnosis' is available now. Picture yourself flying around a futuristic racetrack with the commentator growling 'MISSILE' or 'CONTENDER ELIMINATED' while you listen! #gaming #techno #electronicmusic

And what a cracking game it is! :)
Not sure my own skills are quite up to the task, but if someone does end up creating a kick-ass #techno remix of this, I certainly wouldn't complain...

Started a new track today, with a 4 x 4 kick pattern, a rolling bassline in A Phrygian, and an offbeat 909 hihat #PushingTechnoBoundaries #ableton
Fantastic! #techno

I know everyone (rightly) loves the Mortal Kombat tune, but can we also agree that Streets of Rage gave us some absolutely amazing #gaming #techno back in the early '90s? The Mega Drive really went hard back then 😆

New music I'm working on has a bit of a 'WipEout' vibe. Which a) delights me, given those games played a huge part in establishing my love of #techno and electronic music at large, and b) saddens me, because we may well never get another proper WipEout release ever again.
Hey @ianhigton.bsky.social. Just wanted to say that you and the other folks at Eurogamer video have been such a bright light for me so many times over the years, and I can't thank you enough for all the entertainment and joy you've brought me and others. I'll be watching Platform 32 religiously.
'Medusa', my latest #techno track, is now available to stream on YouTube and purchase on Bandcamp. Thanks so much to @voxparlour.bsky.social, whose artwork really captures the emotive, ethereal feeling I was going for.

Kind of fallen in love with the thing where you run your own unremarkable vocals through a bunch of effects/pitch-shifts, and end up with that classic #techno 'voice of God'. If only I had this sexy and authoritative a baritone in real-life, I could do classic film trailers. #ableton
Here's the lovely new artwork created to accompany my forthcoming track 'Medusa', courtesy of the wonderful @voxparlour.bsky.social. Thanks for nailing the brief (and sparing onlookers from further, shoddy DIY efforts 😂).
Happy #ValentinesDay to all the #electronicmusic lovers out there! 'Heart' is available to stream on YouTube, and download for free at my Bandcamp - as a big thank you to all my supporters and listeners so far ❤️

Inspired by the spirit of #90s rave, my new acid #techno track is available to stream on YouTube now - and purchase over at Bandcamp. Hope you enjoy! 😎

I'll be sharing some standalone tracks over the coming weeks, as I've been experimenting with a few different things. Old-school acid. Groovy electronica. And something slightly ethereal/emotional for the first time. Production skills improving I think - but will let you be the judge!
When you already have 27 different elements on a track, and you still think it could do with more cowbell... #techno #ableton
Genuinely grateful for all the support and advice I've had since I started putting my first #techno tracks out there. Cleaner and LOUDER mixes are on their way! I've also just enjoyed the way it's been a neat prompt for talking music/creativity with a whole bunch of people lately. That's terrific.
