Didn’t expect this.

Mad WOW has landed on the Beatport Hard Techno front page, hit the Best New Hard Techno playlist and even made the Weekend Picks selection across the wider platform.

Good to see something dirty and slightly unhinged finding its people.

Appreciate everyone playing it, sharing it, buying it and pushing it further.
909 ❤❤

They say "never meet your heroes," but nobody mentions what happens when you start producing music with them. ⛓️‍💥

I’ve been a fan of Carl Short since his Let’s Rave EP. Over the last few years, Carl has gone from being a massive influence to a mentor, offering tips on my early tracks that helped me find my footing.

When we finally sat down to collaborate, the goal was simple: no filler, just raw, old-school hard techno.

We pushed each other hard to get the groove and the energy right. I’m incredibly proud of how these two turned out. "

Mad Wow" and "Suit Yourself" are officially about to drop on the mighty Resilient Records.

It’s been a hell of a journey from fan to label-mate.
Thanks for the support.

Liverpool’s Leeks steps into Dark Matter.

Been lining this one up for a while.

His sound sits in a place most people miss, it's dark and driving, but with groove. You can hear the UK garage influence in the way it moves.

If you’re tired of techno that just hammers you for an hour, this shifts the energy without losing it.

Leeks played for us at Technophobia when Gary Beck headlined and locked the room in properly. Same energy here.

1 hour. Press play.

Using Machines is out now on Capital Techno Records — exclusively on Beatport.

Two tracks of bass-heavy, groove-led, unapologetically dirty, hard techno.

1. Using Machines.
2. I Need It.

I’d been stuck for a while trying to balance two things, the power I want in a set and the deeper, hypnotic side I keep coming back to.

Lisa Oakes invited me onto her Rotations Podcast, so I used it to work through that properly.

This is the result.

If you stick with it, it really tightens up as it goes on.

✊ Just dropped the first Dark Matter transmission.

🔈 This one’s frantic, forward-moving and full of restless pressure.

📀 Includes a couple of unreleased bits from me and a massive track from Cluster, which i've been dying to get my hands on for so long.

🎧 Headphones recommended.
