Ad Hoc

Josh Goldsmith AKA Bitskit/Pen Dance/Michael Flatline and
Stephen Arnold AKA Espion/Error Response
are Ad Hoc: A duo created for one purpose.
Based in Glasgow, they have been producing experimental hip hop/drum'n'bass since early 2005. Heavily influenced by Amon Tobin, Autechre, Aphex Twin, Eric Senna, John Barry, John Powell, Mulatu Astatke, Plaid, Roque Baños, Venetian Snares, jazz music (Ray Brown, Roy Budd) and film soundtracks, their music is a cross between erratic drum n' bass, electro and atmospheric film score, reminiscent of artists found on Ninja Tune, Planet Mu or Warp Records.
Their work consists of complex drum patterns, emotive, moody synths and jazz samples. They are both resident at Glasgow's live underground audio/visual night 'Camouflage', constantly battling it out as solo artists and a duo, on a huge collection of synths, samplers and drum machines.
