I released my only solo album on Bandcamp 2 years ago. Still pretty chuffed with it, and it still reflects my main inspirations of weird jazz, ambient, dub etc. Didn't do a huge amount to promote it, but did get a play on BBC 6 Music's Freakzone!

I think my record collecting days go downhill from here. The Domino, double vinyl version of this stunning album picked up this week for a very reasonable price. Unplayed, too!!

#NowPlaying Harold Budd & Brian Eno - Ambient 2; The Plateaux of Mirrors

Ebay still throws a curveball every so often. This week, I picked up a near-mint, original press of this beautiful thing for £17 + postage. Keep pinching myself, tbh.

Valentina Magaletti & YPY - Kansai Bruises

Really enjoying this. Skittish drums/percussion and electronics creating wonderfully hypnotic polyrhythms. Amazing cover art, too!
