All tracks produced, remixed mixed and mastered by Ghost.. 

Please visit the new website, spread the link for the remixes around to all your buddies and mates! i'm doing this an an independant artist and word of mouth is very important.. 

Big thanks to Border's Music (NZ) and RDU (NZ) for there support helping me get this project out to the people.

my remixes album taster coming soon....

Wow, it's been a busy few weeks as always. I've been chipping away at a bunch of remixes for the last few months and i'm nearly finished. i'll be uploading a little taster of said remix album which i decided to call 'Remixes From The Edge' in the next few days, maybe the w'end if time runs away from me....

i called this little project 'Remixes From The Edge' for 3 reasons...

1/ My next album is gonna be called 'Postcards From The Edge'
2/ People always associate New Zealand with being on the other side of the world, the edge of the world. 
3/ This collection of music is mainly compiled of tracks i've been working on since leaving London last year, and people always send postcards whilst they're away! Mine are musical postcards! 

Being in a new place/space has meant i've had more time to work on music and develop my music, some of which will be showcased in the 'Remixes from the Edge' compilation, the rest you'll have to wait til the new album in 2010...

Bon voyage

new Hudson Mohawke album 'Butter'



i was just listening to the new album from Hud mo, titled 'Butter'. Lots of people touting this as the best thing since sliced bread. Taking the media hyperbole into account the dude has some serious skills. I worry that with all the media frenzy with something like this the album won't live up to the expectations people have given it.

The album is expertly crafted, sounds crisp and well produced. No doubt some great tunes on here, and i hope it does well. These days albums come and go so quickly, people buy an album, listen to it for a month and never listen to it again. This album does have longevity thank god and some depth to it.

My only gripe is that some of my favourite tracks are really short! I always hated it when people did this, like madlib doing those cd's and all the beats were too short for my liking.

But thats my personal taste, i highly encourage you go buy the album and make your own mind up, support the artists putting that work in, Hud Mo certainly has and i say fair play bro, good music and good luck.

sending over music for the radio and stuff...

Big thanks to everyone sending me music recently..

i'll do my best to play as much as i can, big thanks to Svetlana Industries for sending some dope beats, go check them out on myspace. Just listening to a Teebs and Jackhigh joint which is crazy nice. Big thanks to OM Unit for a copy of the new EP, again check the myspace for all the details, one track in paticular is off the chain! 

Professor Ojo big up sent me a couple of joints, one called delusion deluxe is heat, defo some play on the show. And i really liked what i heard from 86 position, but i'm struggling to find a place for it in the show. Great music no doubt about it but doesn't really work in the context of the show, big up to those guys still. 

keep sending the good stuff over, i can never have enough good music to play for the show..

get in touch or send to my dropbox which is linked on this page...
