There’s a new mix I’ve done, along with a short interview up at Fenchurch.com. I think I forgot to include a tracklist and now I can’t find it so I’ll come back when I’ve located it.

Also, I just got sent this video clip (complete with distorted audio as usual) from the Queen of Hoxton (in Shoreditch, London) at a decent night called Kill Em All. From memory it was definately a fun gig, but the drum kit kept moving across the stage gradually throughout the gig (you can see Chris stop playing to move his stool to catch up)! The song is Yippee Space Ghost and as always that’s Chris Walmsley on drums. Thanks to Ieva Feldmane for recording it.

Here’s that clip I was talking about.

Ok so here is a new website! I realised it was years since I updated the last one, but this one will be updated much more, with gig listings, plenty of free downloads (mixes and exclusive tracks etc…) and links to all the other places for info and stuff.

As for an update, here’s what’s happening:
Reviews are still trickling in from my last album “Cambio Wechsel” and I’ve put a selection of quotes under the press section.

Still playing live with Chris Walmsley on drums (a lot in Holland now for some reason – see you tomorrow Amsterdam!). Also will be playing Bloc Weekender (solo set) and Bangface Weekender (set with Chris). I’ve also linked you to a clip (Colours Don’t Leak) from a fairly recent gig in Bristol.

And finally, remixes. There should be a mini slew of Kelpe remixes coming this year. I’ve completed ones for Fulgeance, Jean Jacque Perrey, Huess, Point B, Max Berlin that should all be coming out soon (I’ll post some on Soundcloud when I’m allowed). I’m currently working on one for the band Holy Fuck, which will accompany their new album / single coming in early summer.

That’s it, come back soon. Also, I don’t actually have a proper mailing list so if you’re interested, please sign up on the right.

ArtVinyl today announces the winner of Best Art Vinyl 2009 with the Muse album – ‘The Resistance’ taking first place, Manic Street Preachers’ ‘Journal For Plague Lovers’ coming second and Fever Ray’s self titled album coming third.

The 2009 winners display a diverse mix of art and design with the Muse album’s intense graphic work from the studios of La Boca, to the striking Jenny Saville painting used to great effect on the Manic Street Preachers’ sleeve to the very detailed illustration work of Martin Ander on the Fever Ray cover.

“With the Best Art Vinyl Award now in it’s fifth year” Andrew Heeps, Art Vinyl’s director comments, “this year we’ve really seen the award grow in stature and it is a great way to celebrate the unsung heroes behind the art and design of some of our favourite bands and artists.”

Muses join a list of other prestigious winners that include the Fleet Foxes’ self titled album, The Cribs’ Man’s Needs, Woman’s Needs, Whatever, Hard-Fi’s Stars of CCTV and Thom Yorke’s The Eraser in what has been a great year for the vinyl format.
