Emerald 12" split EPEmerald – 12″ split EP

Hypnogogia Records – GOG 1201, 12″ EP Comp

Unique track submitted to a 4 track EP. Emerald. Released 1997.

Latin Drum and Bass.  Credits include songwriting, sound design, arranging, performance, recording, mixing and production. Recorded at the 33 Studio, Luton in 1997.  The Hypnogogia Collective of artists, musicians and other creatives showcase EP.  I submitted this track warts and all because it was a dance-hall killer when played out live at Hypnogogia’s party’s. After several failed attempts of remixing this to correct some sampler steal off, I let the original ‘quick mix’ go because it had a certain warmth and depth to it’s sound. Lesson; be wary of sterilising the essence out of a mix!

Hero Of Bamboo-stick – Nostramus with Mention and Golden Child. Released 2003.

Ninja Drum and Bass. A weird year spent working in an Elstree studio as part of the Jolt Records team. On their books were a couple of Mc’s; Mention and Golden Child – I played them a track I was working on, they loved it and put to work writing some lyrics. Their tome suited perfectly the martial art ninja samples I had in place and soon I was building up a number of mixes. Jolt immediately seized the result and penned it for their first release.Credits include songwriting, sound design, arranging, performance, recording, mixing and production. Recorded at the Jolt Studio, Elstree, 2003.

A remastered version of my Nostramus Earthlights solo album, first released in 1997. I re-tweaked some of the material and added some extra samples.

Originally recorded at the 33 Studio, Luton in 1996 and then recompiled, tweaked and mastered at my home studio in 2009.

Psychotropic-fuelled Enhanced Dark Ambience, a Nostramus – Spin-off project performed by my alter ego THC (The Hidden Core). A collection of sublime atmosphere’s  and sound-scapes I had hidden in my locker over the years. Elements from earlier periods, notably The Big Eye and early Nostramus period, some of the collection taken from two mixtapes I put together in 1995 titled THC One and THC Two. Not an album you would play on your own, in the dark in a lonely forest! I designed the artwork as well.

Breakbeat, Dub Techno, Abstract, Drum n Bass. Although two other Nostramus concept compilations were released in the early noughties, I regard this as Nostramus’s official follow up album to Earthlights. With Hero Of Bamboostick included and with a satirical look toward the hysteria of 2012 and beyond into the twenty first century. I went to town researching open source samples that define the moods of the times and integrated into soundscaped rhythms, but admittedly it’s harsher and angrier than pre 9/11 Earthlights but maybe with more humour than Bomb Babylon.Credits include research, collating, songwriting, sound design, arranging, performance, recording, mixing, production and mastering. Recorded at my home studio 2010 – 2011.
