I’m also pleased to find out that the viral Drench campaign I worked on some time ago with Jonathan has reached the milestone of 1 million hits on youtube between the various videos.

I’ve started a new dance music project, Dusky which is an alter-ego of mine and Nick Harriman’s Solarity project. The debut single Lost In You received much industry acclaim and gained BBC Radio 1 play. Our debut album Stick By This has also been released with DJ Mag reviewing it as “an intoxicating album, full of life and flashes of brilliance” 4/5 * * * *

I’ve also been working closely with Hum Music Production, and you can find some of my tracks in the brand new ‘Hum Tracks’ boutique library.

You can see some of my ad work on my Vimeo site here.

On the dance music side of things Solarity have had a very successful run of late, with two tracks on our label’s latest compilation Anjunadeep:03 which reached No. 1 album in the iTunes dance chart. We’re also proud to have gained Radio 1 airplay for the first time.

I have also continued to assist composer Jonathan Goldstein on various projects, including a campaign for Sky Broadband.

On the DJ/dance music front we had a spectacular gig in sunny Cyprus and have a fast-approaching headline gig in Manchester. Progressive giants Sasha and John Digweed have been championing our forthcoming single and some very special vocal collaborations are in the pipeline.

On the dance music front we’ve had performances round the UK and abroad in Estonia, with further gigs secured for the UK and abroad in the coming months – something to look forward to! In addition our recent tracks have continued to prove popular with DJs and on the download charts. We have 3 tracks on the new Anjunadeep02 compilation which reached No. 1. on the iTunes album dance chart in the U.S.

Several other projects have been keeping me busy, more word on those as I complete them!

I’ve also been an assistant to renowned composer Jonathan Goldstein on the excellent recent Weetabix TV campaign. In addition I have co-written the music with Jonathan for a very quirky new advert for Drench which has been gaining plenty of media attention! It involves a jazz-playing band of hamsters (!) – check it all out here.

I’m also excited about a collaboration with the excellent pianist AyseDeniz Gokcin for a future recording and live show. More information to follow.

Our dance music releases have been continuing their successful run, and upcoming gigs in the UK and abroad are keeping us busy as ever. As always more information is available at our myspace.

My piece ‘Flux Stasis’ for Blue Harp is premiering at the Royal Academy of Music on 10th September, performed by Lizzy Scorah.

Our dance music has been very successful recently, with tracks of ours finding success in the beatport progressive house charts. As well as an upcoming gig at iconic club Ministry of Sound in London, we recently played as far afield as Iceland. As always you can find more info at our myspace.

This month I’ve also finished arranging and recording for a Toyota/ITV family movies ident currently being broadcast on ITV in the UK. In addition I have recently had some music featured in a TRESemmé viral video currently doing the rounds.

Solarity’s release schedule has become even busier, with further releases planned in the coming months. As always more information can be found here.

On the dance front, Solarity have agreed to sign a couple of tracks to Anjunadeep records, it’s a great honour as we’ll be joining the ranks of some fantastic artists with a huge worldwide following. We’ve got lots more material in the works as well as some remixes, so our release schedule over the coming months is looking pretty hectic.

On the dance music front Solarity’s recent releases on Whoop and the legendary Perfecto records seem to be receiving considerable dance and club play which is always good news. Our recent gigs in Madrid and London have been good fun and a great success, and we have many tracks in the pipeline due to be released on some very respected labels in the coming months. As always you can find more information on our myspace.

I’ve updated the music page with an extract from a new Solarity track ‘Hunted’.

As well as the Solarity project Nick Harriman and I are starting a new moniker to explore a more raw, experimental but dance-floor friendly sound – more news on that as it comes!
