Hmmm...hmmmm....been away from here for a while!! Here's a little of whats going down at the mo...for those of you who dont know me, and a catch up for those who do. I have been involved with all things electronic, hypnotic, sublime, messy and generally dance for most of my life. Flying Rhino was my stable for the duration of its flight ('94-2002 and what a journey it was)...happy, heady, blurry days...Meanwhie lots of exciting things going on at the moment with music and life...making the big move of buying land in brasil, building a house and a studio, and beginning to create a retreat there with Tash, my fiance, and our menagerie of animals. Tropical Beats, both the label and the agency, which we started in brasil 4 years ago, is absolutely rocking now...whipping up the dance floors around brasil into a frenzy, and bringing lots of exciting music to the scene. We are also rapidly creeping into europe and the rest of the world. Lots of new, and established, but all very talented and exciting artists are getting involved. As TB Records, we are fusing tech-house/progressive house/breaks/minimal/techno/deep house and the less hectic side of trance, all into a delicious blend of deep, groovy, and tweaky behaviour (check out - www.tropicalbeats.com and www.myspace/tbrecs). I am still working on my first solo album at the moment...a seemingly never ending process, but one I am having great fun doing...also preparing a cheaky little live set which I will be performing at The Glade Festival on the saturday night...1st live set in the UK for many years. The 4D project with Grant Collins (an experimental idea we started years ago on Flying Rhino) is pumping at the moment and we are going to be preparing a live set together very soon. We have a 12" out now on namnam records from copenhagen, and have lots of other releases lined up. I am also continuing to do music with Dick Trevor (continuing our old Bumbling Loons project, but with a slightly new slant on things).
We are now up and running selling music on Beatport as "TB records". I will have my first James Monro release end of June. Loads of very tasty goodies lined up!....hope you enjoy...and maybe see you somewhere in the summer...
