About Me


The wrong (or is that right) side of 30, I spent over 10 years DJing semi-professionally (got paid, but not enough to give up the day job) in and around Bristol in the south west of the UK. I have been producing music on and off since around 2000, using Propellerhead Reason and Sony Acid Pro. In December 2003, I won the Soren LaRue remix competition run by Acid Planet , beating over 400 other entries, but was unable to capitalise on that opportunity due to the birth of my first daughter in 2004 (and other things I won't go into). After moving from Bristol to Newport in Wales, I've taken up music production again, although the DJing's out for a while (young children don't respect a hangover). I've signed a number of original tunes to Wreked Records Worldwide , had remixes released on a number of other labels and am a member of the PellaPushers mash-up collective.

Reason Combinator Patches Effect: Mastering Suite My own take on the Default Mastering Suite from the Reason Factory Soundbank. The settings have been set how I like them, and require minimal tweaking at the end of the composition process. Effect: Ping-Pong Delay The output of Mod A of a malström is sent to the pan of a channel of a Line Mixer. The outputs of the mixer run to individual Delay units with identical settings, giving the classic Ping-Pong delay. Effect: Filter Sweep A single ECF-42 Filter unit routed so Rotary 1 simultaneously increases the Frequency while decreasing the Resonance and vice-versa. Button 1 toggles the Filter unit on and off. Not fantastic on its own, but useful as a starting block. Effect: FX Delay A Redrum with the first 5 channels wired separately into a line mixer, the send/return of which runs through a DDL-1 Digital Delay. This unit is designed to add ambient effects and other background noises. Bass: Crunchy Acid Bass Two Subtractors, one of which is affected by Mod A of a malström, loaded with the same custom patch are wired into a Line Mixer. This works particularly well on rapidly pulsing basslines. Bass: Grizzly Sub Bass Two malströms, a Subtractor, a Line Mixer and a BV512 Vocoder combined to give a dirty sub bass. Bass: Bass Guitar + LFO A custom malström patch combining an Accoustic Guitar and Random Filter graintables with the LFO output of a Subtractor wired into the Mod wheel of the malström. The Mod Wheel is set to change the Shift and the Filter of both Oscillators, giving a thick bass guitar sound with occassional tweaking to the sound. Bass: Phased Warp Bass A detuned custom malström patch with a high attack on the filter coupled with a phaser to give a metallic warping bass sound. Bass: PsyBass Designed for psytrance basslines, a single Subtractor is passed through a myriad of effects units, with controls to affect the most significant assigned to the main panel of the Combinator. Bass: Gated Warp Bass A wet warping bassline, works well when gated. As heard in my Down & Dirty Vocal Mix of Madonna's Deeper & Deeper... Bass: Benassi Bass An attempt to simulate the bass sound in tracks by Benny Benassi (Satisfaction), the ouput of a custom Malström patch is routed through a Scream distortion unit, M-Class Compressor and Maximizer. Rotary controls are assigned for Overdrive, EQ Sweep, Filter Sweep and Output Gain. The side-chain of the compressor is linked to the combinator inputs.
