Mangled Tape Memories

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

I Used to go through my Dad's collection of music and make entire songs based around samples and some crazy remixes (Called myself Dj Foyf) but never felt the tunes were really mine because I sampled so much.....and I wasn't even a DJ so I was living 2 lies (kind of). If you want to find my old stuff google might be a helpful old chap. These days I make all the music and beats (but am partial to some vocal sampling) The Toybox is open, and there are plenty of things to play with. Let the good times roll.Music by David Firth. Artwork by Jimi Mwng.

As usual I asked Jimi to do some of his art to accompany the album and he sent me a load of stuff. The problem is, they're all so amazing that I just can't decide which peice to use as front cover. I ...
