Thought some of you might get a, erm, ‘kick’ out of hearing this live set of mine. The drum machine was…you guessed it, Digitakt!
Comment if you think you can identify the other 3 synths

Fair play mate. I’ll get on this tomorrow. I’m currently in the middle of a field, in a hot tub, drinking real ale.
Nice to see a naught on one of my regular download sites.

Another one coming soon!
Another live set here from a few months back. This one was Digitakt, Model D, and a Quadraverb. Kept it pretty simple for the most part. Hope some fellow Elektronauts dig!

New release coming next Bandcamp Friday as well, very stoked about this one…
**Hi all, I’ve been hesitating to share this album with this community even though this forum is the one place where I am actually active. It’s been a source of inspiration knowledge sharing and encouragement and I’ve been glad to be a part of it.
Inspired by people like @ylva, @circuitghost and @echo_opera, I’m super excited to share an album with you all that is called ‘June’. It’s something that I’ve pieced together over the past six or seven years that really shows my tastes as a musician and a producer.
I recorded and mixed this entire thing myself and it was mastered by the great Dietrich Schoeneman at Complete Mastering, who did a separate mastering version for the vinyl which really sounds incredible. I’ve pressed up a limited number of copies myself that are available for sale on my Bandcamp page now.
The response to this album has been really encouraging so far. Many different kinds of people connecting with it. I hope some of you will too.
In terms of what the music sounds like, stylistically I’d say it’s influenced by UK rave culture, intricate electronic Synthwave, the LA beat scene and modern jazz. If that sounds like a diverse range of influences it probably is!
There is one track on the album with a bit of vocals called ‘Find You’ which is the lead single. I shared that a few weeks ago but the music video is copied again below for those who want to check it out.
In terms of gear, there was all kinds of things used but some of the main items were a Digitakt and Digitone, a Nord Lead, Roland SE02, Akai MPC 1000, and Roland SHO1A Thank you all for checking this out and I’d love to hear any feedback from my fellow 'nauts. Any questions welcome as well!

Fantastic work, my friend. I’m not sure what I did to deserve this mention, seeing as your work is substantially more accomplished than mine. Nevertheless, I am thoroughly enjoying this album and can only imagine it’ll make for a great show as well. The funkier parts are my favourites so far, the groove is just so cool, and the whole thing has a intense, beating vibe to it that just keeps my feet moving. Love it. Will listen to it a few rounds and return with some more elaborate thoughts. Congratularions to a great release, my friend

@circuitghost, wow thank you so much for those kind words, truly! I mentioned you because I love how you write about and discuss your own process and I was a big fan of your “That Which Remained” EP. If I remember correctly, you are a writer by trade, as am I, so there’s a definite mutual appreciation happening 
thank you again for listening and for taking the time to share those thoughts!
@ylva ty so much, your work has been amazing to see develop and I can’t wait to see where it goes!
@kairos thank you! That video was a pretty fun, wild experience to say the least. We filmed it in 110 degree heat in the LA summer, haha. Facepaint was dripping off of me!
Cheers all, so glad this music is resonating and connecting with some of you out there!

thanks all!
Curious to hear if this reminded any of you of any other artists? I always blank on drawing comparisons, maybe because my stuff is a bit all over the map.
To any folks who enjoyed June, my next album is officially announced today!
It’s called Life Inside a Bell and this one is a collaboration with saxophonist Jon Natchez from The War on Drugs. The first track is an 11 minute burner and is streaming on my Bandcamp page now.
Recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by me in my home studio in LA. Cover art also by me.
Special thank you to our very own @circuitghost for helping with the bio on the Bandcamp page!
Thanks to everyone taking the time to listen; if anyone is curious about gear or process, feel free to ask any questions.
Cheers all!
