Mint- Switchback EP

A free 3 track EP from Boltfish Recordings featuring a Dialog> remix of the track “Remote Eyes”. The original track came from the Mint album Binary Countries.

Mint is Murray Fisher who specialises in a glitchy yet melodic style of IDM electronica.
Another friend on the circuit. I love his album Carboard Rocketships, but there loads of good stuff is his back catalogue.


The Beaufort Scale & Dialog>@Koko

I have recently joined The Beaufort Scale on guitar duties for their live shows……..and they managed to land a gig at Koko supporting Plaid & Hexstatic- wow what a night! Before I got into music production I started as a guitarist in an experimental electronic band called Hive, so this was like coming back full circle. Hopefully we will be doing more gigs together.


Input Junkie- Rotations EP

Input Junkie- has become a good freind on the circuit and we have gigged together several times. For this remix project he has employed the talents of some of the producers on our local scene. I have gigged, hung out and enjoyed the tunes made by these guys, so I am honoured to have a remix featured on this project.

My remix is a cosmic electro version of the tune “Petals”. Gregg@Hermetech was on mastering duties.

Mindfields Launch Party- Dublin

What a weekend! First atmospheric ambient sets were performed at the National Concert Hall in Dublin with Enrico Coniglio, Steffano Guzzetti & Roger Doyle. Francesca Coniglio accompanied me on visuals for this set. Afterward we hit a nightclub and found ourselves dancing to Blondie, Gary Newman, Joy Division & the Beach Boys. Top night.

The next day the sets were cranked up a notch@Whelans, where we were joined by more of the Psychonavigation roster. Mick Chillage & Macshine played my favourite sets of the night, but it was all good for electronica fans.






Mindfield Compilation on Psychonavigation Records

I first met Keith Downey at the Big Chill in 2009 showcasing Psychonavigation Records. We swapped CDs and I became a fan of the label. I am delighted to be part of this project as the label celebrates 10 years. Featuring the Black Dog and Future Sound of London- I am almost pinching myself in disbelief as these were formative influences for me back in the 90′s. I saw The Black Dog at my first Megadog – an initiation of sorts as I absorbed and became inspired by the electonic acts on that scene.

My track is an ambient version of the track “Ghosts” from the Run Silent Run Deep album. This was the original version of the song. Ironically I almost gave up on this version, but Andy Stone (Soxan) encouraged me to finish it and we used it in our ambient A/V shows. I am very happy it has found a home on this compilation (digital download version).

Planet Angel Chilled in a Field

Another fab time- big thanks and respect to Dom for all his hard work to make the sound in the Chill tent happen. Great sets from Omeron, Input Junkie, the Commodore and Ollie (diiging the Donnie Darko look). Lots of good bands also. My DJ set turned into a 5 hour epic………phew!


Dialog> vs AudioGlider remix on Exceptional Records

I have contributed a remix to the Audioglider remix project. My mix is a deep house feel with backward psychedelic guitar workout. Out on Beatport:

DJ set at the Inspiral Lounge, Camden, Friday 24 June

I have been invited to DJ in support of Terranine & Orchid Star at the Inspiral Lounge. I have been to this lovely venue a few times and always wanted to play there, so I’m muchly looking forward to this. As I normally do Ableton sets of my own tunes it will be fun to do something a little different.

A version of this track appears on the Dialog> album “Music for Imaginary Movies”.
These are the parent versions I did with Alan. They came out sounding good after mastering & I talked Alan into giving them their own release. Enjoy.
