Fog Bank out Today - Beatport, iTunes etc etc etc!

About Me


I am a young man who makes records on his computer.
I am resident and promoter at the night BODY CLAP at T-Bar / FABRIC.
I like making all sorts of music, I have a couple of other aliases - can you spot them??
My name comes from the fact I used to use an Amiga to make music. They used to use 8-Bit samples. I was young at the time.. Hence Boy 8-Bit. It has stuck ever since...
