About Me

iPassenger aka Ross Barradell has been making electronic music on and off for over 13 years. Starting out aged 12 making music using Octamed on the Amiga 500, progressing through synthesizers and samplers and on to an almost entirely PC based set-up. Ross's music combines elements from the last 20 years in dance music with anything else he can lay his hands on. Principally rhythm based, his music is dance floor aimed but is combined with musical tonality to ensure that even the un-techno initiated can benefit from his sounds. Having played gigs around the North of England and Scotland, including hippy camps, parties in woods and traditional club environments, Ross is now working exclusively in the studio.
