No worries. He was an old site head, shared a gaff for a short period. Memories of him stooped over an ancient akai mpc, hitting drum patterns in, night upon night. This is his alias discogs

Haven’t really listened to his material since the DJAX Up Beats gear, bloke could play a mean, unique set of techno though. Rave era maturing into ploddy House? Possibly.
eh it does the job. I'm appy with him making classic chi styled tracks. it's not where my head is at at the moment but got a lot of respect for the lad. and if I do dj I might pick some of his newer stuff up, a lot of this stuff is so dependent on alchemical sourcery for me. I'm all about the groove, but when its improper.
