When this came out I was too young and naïve to have any idea what that woman was making all that racket about.

When it came on the radio, I'd turn it up. Can't imagine what my parents would have thought 😳

I'm giving a load of my old stuff away just because.

Actually, no, let's be honest. It's to build up a bit of a mailing list for when I've got something new. Anyway, go grab one.

Going through the archive stuff has been a lovely reminder of that period of my life when I had the time to work through *22* mixes of a track before I was happy with it.

I can confidently assure you that none of the new stuff has had anything like this level of quality control.

Just a reminder that two more tracks from the archives went live on Bandcamp yesterday, featuring the unique voice of Billie Holliday, sampled from a wonderful live LP of songs and interviews from the 50s.

Some more tracks from the archive have just gone live on Bandcamp.

Featuring vocals from the first lady of jazz, "Two Kinds of Blues" is two haunting and atmospheric tracks with that unique voice, smooth synths, dubbed out piano and laid back beats.

Here - have a code for some things I made a while ago. These are actual sung songs that came out under a different name. One of the tracks, "Adrenaline" did really rather well.

Just a reminder to grab the three archives for free (or name your price).

- Archive 1: Stuff I Stole. Sample-heavy fun made from, guess what, stuff I stole.

- Archive 2: Stuff I Sang. Actual songs. Which I sang.

- Music From The Dark Outside

More to come soon...

Following Archive 1: Stuff I Stole, here's Archive 2: Stuff I Sang.

These are songs that are dubsteppy, breakbeaty and lovely. And free.

Some codes for Archive 2: Stuff I Sang.

This one is three proper songs + three bonus versions. You might loosely describe these a vocal dubstep. You might not. Up to you.

A few more codes for this nonsense.

Some sample-heavy stuff from the archives. It should be called "Stuff I Stole", really.

Looks like that last batch of codes has gone.

I stole loads of other people's stuff and made these. They're quite good fun, honest.

All three bits I made for @darkoutside.co.uk are available here at Name Your Price. Free if you like.

One of them has a gospel choir singing in a field and another has truckers swearing on CB Channel 19. What's not to love about that?

Sometime soon I'll be releasing an EP of my slightly sideways take on 80s acid house.

In the meantime, here's some stuff I made by nicking other people's stuff.

What do you mean, you don't want to hear Kate Bush set to a Run-DMC breakbeat or some Milli Vanilli with a big Amen break and a bit of funky drummer?

In advance of putting some new stuff out later this year (that isn't made from lots of samples) I'm giving some old stuff away that IS made from lots of samples. Enjoy!

Years ago, I used to make music which did OK with quite a lot of streams and downloads and even a bit of airplay.

I've made something new that I'm looking forward to getting out, but before doing anything with it I'm going to give some of some old stuff away. Check my profile for codes.
