"This entire album has that special something not often found on electronic music albums. Ox manages to change things up a bit with a collection of tunes ranging from live acoustic compasitions to mediun tech house tracks. I know what I’m playing on my next beach side road trip. This is a very nice collection of moods and tones."

About Me:
Hi everyone and welcome. If you like what you hear on this page, then please leave some comments.
Here is the press release for ’Distant Shores’ written by and courtesy of Ahead PR:
‘‘Distant Shores’ is the fantastic debut album from Ox, a UK based songwriter/producer with an extremely promising future. This electronic, down-tempo album is definitely one for the summer months. The beautiful guitar melodies alongside the timeless strings and electronic layers, instil peace and a sense of nonchalance that ease your worries and calm even the busiest of the minds.
A newcomer to the down-tempo scene, Ox seems to be going from strength to strength. After having tracks included on a few compilations, he then had success with downloads in Japan via Toryumon. He has also managed to maintain his place in the top ten ‘UK down-tempo charts’ on MySpace for over four months now….and counting!
The man behind it all is Paul Hogg, a musician with many talents. He was given the nickname Ox at college because of his large frame and stature and it has stuck ever since. His versatility as a musician is clearly demonstrated in ‘Distant Shores’ as he played all instruments on the album himself, as well as executing the recording, production and mastering. Heavily influenced by the likes of Moby, Craig Armstrong, Groove Armada and Chic, he always aims to evoke passion and emotion in the listener.
Paul has recently set up his own label Force 8 Records and is working on several other projects as well as Ox. All forthcoming releases will be under the new label. ‘Distant Shores’ is now available to download from the usual outlets and there are also a limited number of signed CD’s available from the Ox page on MySpace.
