this is just one of those regular wee reminders that I do a monthly email newsletter.

It has a little bit about what t.o.s. is up to, and waaaay more about what other cool artists are up to.

Spot on!

I - and I cannot stress this enough - am an immigrant.

So, if you have a problem with immigrants, you have a problem with me.

No (occasional) society without solidarity.

had a lovely time at the last one of these.

Looking forward to the next one.
Unsure how to self release? Want to get on a label? Questions about the reverb on that hi-hat?

Come to the next producers meet up! It’s online, it’s friendly and supportive.

It’s for subscribers, all I’d ask is you subscribe for £4 once( and you can cancel straight away, that’s totally fine 💜)
