About Me

I do five things in this world:
I work through the day in a job that I hate
I write and release electronic music, play live and DJ frequently
I co-promote Camouflage with Tino , Gusbo , Altronix and Bitskit
I help produce films and do sound production for various multimedia projects
I design and moderate the Hyperoctave â„¢ website
All this shit you see here - the music, the website, the club night - is what I do when I get home.. I stop for nothing! I am always interested in hearing new electronic music - I can promote it on Hyperoctave and in mixes, so please, send me your demos!
Espion is part of Camouflage in Glasgow's Soundhaus venue. Over the years he has played at almost all of the underground techno/electro nights in Scotland, and is undoubtedly one of the country's most prolific electronic artists - having produced literally hundreds of tracks since 1994.
Following releases/remixes on Orson Records, Electrix, Tyrant, Exceptional, Underground Evolved and Soma, Espion has taken his dark, intricate and emotive electro style to venues all over the UK and Europe in recent years, and has played alongside acts such as Rich Thair (Red Snapper), Si Begg, The Youngsters (to a crowd of 800!), Ricardo Villalobos, Jakeone (Toob), Bass Junkie, Teenage Bad Girl, Mekon, DNCN, Richard Bartz, Eskmo and Vector Lovers.
His variation and diversity in his music, mixed with tireless efforts within various club nights, has seen him progress into a big name outside the electronic music underground. His live sets are a brick-shaking sonic assault of dark, filthy, back-alley techno, oppressive pounding beats and funky sci-fi electro synths!
