Baroque Dub

Working under the 'Copyright Free Anarchy' moniker, these recordings are considered by some to be at the forefront of what's now thought of as the bootleg or mash-up scenes. Actually they're mostly sample-heavy workouts inspired by early Coldcut radio shows and the rise of UK Jungle circa 1996.

Mentioning no names, a number of record labels and publishers showed a lot of interest, attracted by what was, at the time, the definitive flavour of the moment. Their lawyers soon put a halt to all that...

It's A Lifestyle Thing (LP)

Jonny from Eclectic Method used to beg me to release this - he even offered to handle the sample clearances. The fool!

Hipster (parts 1 & 2)

From the 'Unfinished Business' second album, some beats and breaks editing fun, ending on a slightly cheesy organ melodic chord progression - you could almost call it the baroquedub blue print.

Call Me Black

Initially sent out to Future Music and Making Music back in 1995 I remember thinking I'd finally made it when it was chosen as 'demo of the month' by both magazines. A few months later I was touring with Dodgy and my musical career changed once again.

Never officially available before this is the album version.
