The Super Duo: In The Studio With Ed Sheeran

As you may or may not know, when it comes to my music, im SUPER picky with who I collaborate with, its so bad infact that i can count on one hand the number of people that ive worked with on my guitar stuff and that includes engineers and producers too.

Enter Ed Sheeran, the 19 year old musical genius that does it ALL, singing, sonwriting,plays guitar, keys (a lil) and puts on one of the BEST one man shows I have ever seen. I reached out to him through the recommendation of Guy Chambers (who we’ve both been working with), sayng how much Id love to work and much to my surprise he was trying to get a hold of me for the same reason!

Although we couldnt be any more different, the simularites we share are crazy, its like where polar opposites of the same magnet lol.

when someone I click with this much comes along doing just one song isnt enough, and we’ve both agreed that a big batch of stuff is the only option. Its either that or the etire world collapses, or something of the same epic epicness.

Oh yeah!! he joined up to S.A.N.G.A (super awesome nerd genius army) too! and by joined i mean i added him and without him knowing :p

Anyway! Expect Awesome music on the way from the new super duo! watch this space!

T.O.T.B.C Aftermath: Club Ice In Coventry

Ending the long line of shows that happened last week was the night called ‘Pimpin'” @Club Ice in coventry. It was an over 16’s rave meaning that whopping 1200 hormone raging teens swarming the venue going absoloutley mental. there were a few technicals with the decks, but when you work with pros like Tomb Crew you’re never gonna go wrong!

shout outs to ben clark and the rest of the lads in vip that we’re listening to my stories of the amazing pistol shrimp! see, there’s never a wrong time to geek out!

T.O.T.B.C – Club Plan B @Brixton the aftermath

big shout out to everyone that turned up last night and showed the love! if was pretty dead for a while, and even when there were a few peeps it looked more like a place to casualy meet and have a drink:

but then when i was on mic with the mighty tomb crew on deck it started to really move!

Again thanks for all the love and support, and a special thank you to the group that felt the need to come over EVERY time I dropped a bar to explain IN DETAIL why they enjoyed each and every line hahaha, LOVE IT!

Mixing Down The New Faith SFX Feature Album: Man or Machine

When I first decided to build my own studio, I pre-planned out every single last detail except for probably the most vital one: “who’s gonna engineer?” that left me with no option but to self teach myself, and 3 years on I can proudly say i’ve mixed projects like Scorcher- Simply The Best Vol.1, Frisco – Back To Da Lab 2, Chipmunk – Whatever The Weather Vol 1&2, as well as ALL my own stuff including Full Metal ALchemist.

Now ever since my solo work took a sudden turn for the best, I’ve Srayed from mixing other peoples projects as its SO time consuming, but when my mate Faith Sfx told me the sound he wanted was that of my mixtape full metal, i thought “why not? mixing other peoples stuff wasnt THAT bad right?”

WRONG
Faiths New Project is a VERY challenging one at that: every single instrumental of every single track track was made by ONLY his mouth, which is quite frankly, insane. As if that wasn’t sick enough, it features the very cream of the underground scene from the likes of chipmunk, ghetts, p-money, dot rotten and lowkey down to new draft pics like maxsta, double s, there’s even a feature from yours truly heh heh 😀

As amazing as this feature album is, I’m VERY VERY happy that this sunday is my last day working on it as its stopped me doing all the amazing-ness planned for your guys like my free downloads and starting my show (more on that later).

It also means ill stop looking like this:

and go back to looking like this:

Im not quiiiite sure when the release date for “Man Or Machine” is but I’ll be sure to keep you updated here. look out for it! :p
