Three Blind Mice?

About Me


Hello....

I thought I’d upload some of my own tracks from the last few years, seeing as though there may not be many new ones finished for a while. You can listen to my own “mistrust” mixtape by clicking the image below (external link to Muxtape.com). There’s also an RSS feed so you can add the playlist to iTunes etc and get notified of any updates.

Add mistrust.muxtape.com to iTunes (RSS)
I'm Tim Blackburn, resident of Bolton, UK. I make all sorts of music - mainly downtempo, trip hop type stuff....My tracks have been used by O'Neill (the surfing equipment people) on their promo films, and been played by various DJs up and down the UK, including at Glitchnight and The Big Chill Bar. All of my tracks are available for licensing - let me know if you want to use them.......... If you've come across my music on the places mentioned here, or anywhere else, please let me know.


I've been making music since the 80s and still got a load of the tracks on cassette tape. I've set up a myspace page to let people have a listen to some of them (some are ok, some aren't!!!) Click the link below to listen
