About

Audio Director

Sound designer

Acid House musician

I am the Audio Director at Spliced Inc.

I make sounds.

I've been making sounds my entire life, from my early dabblings on the ZX Spectrum to 4 channels of sound on the Nintendo Gameboy to creating electronic dance music and back to games with interactive video game audio.

Making sounds is what I do and love, whether it be synthesised sound effects, foley sounds, electronic compositions or performing live.

In addition to making sounds, I also write a little. Mainly about sounds and synths and also my experiences in clubland. The bulk of my life has consisted of making video game sounds, performing acid house music live, and producing electro music.

In 1990, I co-wrote and produced the track Hardcore Uproar with Jonathan Donaghy under the name Together, which reached number 12 in the UK singles charts and stayed in the top 40 for 8 weeks. The track was signed to FFRR, headed by Pete Tong under the Polygram group and was originally published by Virgin Music Publishing.

I've written articles about dance music and synths for various magazines including Attack magazine, Iconic Underground and Ask Audio, including a monthly column "One Foot In The Rave" reminiscing about my memories surrounding the birth of Acid House.

I am the author of an illustrated book called "A Brief History of Acid House" which has been stocked in the V&A Museum and The Design Museum London and has been re-printed.

Seven of the games I have provided the sound and music for have received BAFTAs (see the Accolades section for details)

I enjoy performing live Acid House music.

In 2022 I was asked to perform at "I Love Acid" the club event which won the DJ Magazine award "Best club event" in 2020 . The night is quite possibly the greatest thing to have happened to dance music since Acid House began.

I DJ and produce electronic music when I am not creating video game audio at Spliced Inc.
