Rankin on satan

If you're based in Scotland, you might've seen a show running on BBC Scotland called Shelf Isolation - it's a little programme where famous people chat via Zoom about what arts & culture they've liked during the pandemic. It's a fun little thing, and the latest edition involved author Ian Rankin, long-time friend of the satan. 

Anyway, he talked about how much he enjoyed last year's album Time Lapse, and to my surprise, talked at length about me, my music, and all sorts of other stuff. It was great! So I've clipped it and smashed it on the satan youtube for all to see. Well, until the copyright strike comes, but so far I've avoided that...

New previews

Over the last few months, I've been teasing little bits of up-coming releases. I thought I might as well, as everything in the schedule has been shunted back quite a bit from where it was originally planned. One album was supposed to come out last November, but has since changed labels, release month and release year. Hopefully it shouldn't take too much longer, and then I can start to talk to you all about these things I have in the pipeline. 

Anyway, those teasers - I basically cut up some nice looking videos from various sources, and started posting them to Instagram stories. I liked the idea that I could tease a new track, and all traces of it would be deleted after 24 hours. It was very me, so I started putting them up a bit more regularly as the months ticked on, and over time I've experimented with putting the same ones on different socials, to see where the reactions were better and what people said. Twitter didn't do too well, but Instagram stories was a hit. YouTube, the jury's still out, but the views haven't been stellar, and someone unsubscribed the other day when I uploaded two new previews! Haha. Oh well. 

Here you go anyway, here they all are in their glory...

Si begg remix

It's March! Lovely!

The weather is still rubbish though, so to get you through, here's a remix I did of Si Begg, which is out today:

So weird to be on a Si Begg project - literally have his albums stacked up at home, so to be asked by him to cook something up is unreal! I remember doing the first draft ages ago, in a right huff as I was in a terrible, terrible mood because Villa had thrown away a lead at bloody Arsenal, and we ended up losing in the last minute, which was utterly painful. That first draft, you'll not be surprised to hear, ended up being awful, so once I'd calmed down, I went back into it, and did this version. Sounds pretty good I reckon!
