Hey james
want to talk about your music?
Sure thing :)
this is going to be an ultra modern, slightly depressing virtual interview
mainly due to the fact that i know nothing about music, even though i am excellent at pretending.
Gota move with the times.
and also i have a huge boil on my face haven't been in public all week, lol
Fuck that shit. I havn't got out of bed for 2 days cause im ill. :(
No way. You making 'sick' tunes still?
Haha nice. I just put something fresh up today actually.
Frist dnb track i've finished off.
For the Kmag competition, remix of Seba - Painted Sky
Check it out.

OK, i'll turn of Aqua and listen to this
ok ok here we go, describe your sound do you have a signature sound?
I guess I do have a certain style. But it depends what genre you're speaking of, Cause I currently make and dj alot of genre's. Mainly Hip-hop, Dubstep and DNB.
However no matter what genre im making, its always melodic and usually ambient.
There's always a nice topline melody and movement to the track, im generally not a fan of filth.
Loads of random squeals to a generic beat just don't appeal to me.
Ok, i really like 'deep blue' what genre is that? should i be able to guess it's so chill
Well when starting a track, I don't usually aim for a genre. I just sit back and start creating and see where it goes.
Although I guess that track is closest to Ambient Dubstep.
Half time beat at 130 bpm, so yeah my best bet would be some kind of dubstep.
don't get all this jargon, but it is nice to sway too, what and who inspires you to make yo music?
Usually my main inspiration comes from real life, my friends and situations. But musically at the moment my main inspiration is ital tek, he's got some amazing and totally unique going on.

oh yeah yeah, my ears are being opened to a new world of sound.
alright, so, where do you see yourself in 12 years time?
You've been missing out, theres loads of great ambient stuff floating about.
in 12 years I should hopefully be making atleast a comfortable living of djing and producing.
Don't want to be rich or famous, just to be able to make ends meet.
what ..
no money or fame?
what about the playboy mansion and the gucci loafers?
Money would be lovely.
I don't know if i could deal with papparazzi
I'd probably end up smacking one and getting nicked.
do you like fighting?
Nah, im strongly against it.
Im something of a neo-hippy.
passive warrior?
I promote peace and love.
<3>alright, so we've asserted you want to make ambient dubstep, make money and make love not war.
what are you going to make for dinner?
Im not sure.
Tasha just arrived so it looks like she's cooking up something delicious soon.
Our outside fridge packed up just now aswell so theres a wide selection
blessed with a full fridge and a hearty lady OK so
word association, to round off, you ready?
I guess so.
sound excited

Danger Sound #7

back to 1999...

Danger Sound #6

Bjork, what can I say. A fabulous cover of Betty Hutton's version in 1951..

'It's oh so quiet...'

Literally heart broken.

I am the most emotional person to ever grace this earth, i cry at the parts of films which aren't set up to be sad, i cried when i finished twilight - just because it was over (and now i feel like crying after that pitiful confession).
But its true, as far as the metaphorical representation of the heart being the core of all sorrow, love, hate, lust.. whatever, my heart is a complete cop out.

As of last Wednesday, however, i discovered that my heart was actually (in physical reality) being attacked by something other than my feeble and usually melo-dramatic sphere of emotion.

I was diagnosed, after waves of pretty severe chest pains (accompanied by screams, squeals, wails and any other ghastly noises i could muster from my aching lungs) with Pericarditis which is when the Pericardium (or the protective 'sack') around your heart gets infected.

Why this happened? As a secondary factor after getting tonsillitis, why can't i do anything without there being a fuck load of drama involved.

SO i've been pumped with anti-biotics and painkillers since then until today, in which i have finally been released into the outside world, drowsy and disorientated.


Scary times, hold on to your hearts home sluts.

Lots of love from my bloodbox, still ticking!

P.s. many kisses to everybody who came and kept me company at my time of need, you helped me retain what was left of my panicked mind.

Audrey Hepburn is just a goddess, throughout the whole of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. Her elegance emanated across her career. When beauty was classic; a time when dignity was divine.


Not only this, but as i have recently found out, the late Hepburn dedicated the last 5 years of her life to humanitarian work, traveling across developing countries on behalf of UNICEF, illustrating the provokingly heartbreaking reality of children fighting to survive, fighting for their human rights.

A year after her death in 1994, The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund was set up by her two children Sean and Luca, which supports many organisations across the world.

You can donate to the fund, or simply delve into magnificent life of Audrey on her website:

A woman who casted inspiration into many spheres.

DANGER SOUND #5

Magnetic Man ft. Katy B - Perfect Stranger LIVE; and her voice is still as pitch perfect and astounding. Marina from Marina and the Diamonds also does a hypnotically mystical and exceptionally mellow version of it, listen here.


'Are you from another world

I never seen someone who looks like you

Beautiful stranger how do you do?

Tell me is there something I can do for you...'

Christopher Kane's spring collection is a bold look of flower embroidered leather, cashmere and lace, cut and tailored into wearable creations only possible from Kane's perverted fashion mind. The season sounds oddly like 'Granny meets Biker slut', however, far from this Kane has managed to create an on trend feminine look with a rebellious edge. The collection is based, quote the man himself, 'on a delinquent teenager'.
