I recently completed the music for an Aston Martin web advert (with Nick Harriman), and the two of us recently finished some work for Hum Music Production: an ident for Sky Movies Italia. The sound and music for the 15 second film provides the sonic branding for one of the Italian Sky Movie channels and heavily features some cinematic sound design as well as orchestral elements.

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.

I’ve had a busy couple of months with lots of goings on. I recently completed the music for a corporate video for Bacardi, and I have some more corporate/advert work in the pipeline (details soon). I’ve also moved into a new studio in North London which I’m settling into nicely.

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.

I have started some new orchestral material which I hope to share with you soon, and am in talks about some future TV and film work which I’m excited about.

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!
