Lost Cause Part Two: Out Now on Mighty Force Records

It is out. Lost Cause Part Two is available now on Mighty Force Records and I genuinely do not know how to write this post in a way that does justice to what today means.

I started working on material for this record in 1997. Twenty-five years ago, in a room in Surrey, with a Yamaha W7 and a Gem S3 Turbo and a tracker program that most people have never heard of. I was at university, DJing in London when I could, writing music obsessively late at night because it was the thing I most wanted to do and the thing I had the least obvious path towards doing professionally.

The album is ten tracks: Simpler Things, E.A.ONE, Empty Visions, Green Theme, In My Mind, Massively Distorted, Define Anointed, Rendered, DeepZone, and Best Before 2022. Detroit techno, acid, IDM, ambient electronica. A record that covers a lot of emotional and sonic ground while remaining coherent as a single statement. I believe in it completely.

Igloo Magazine has called it one of Mighty Force’s finest. I’ll let that speak for itself.

5 Magazine described the sonic world of the album in their own terms and the response from DJs and producers I respect deeply has been extraordinary. When people whose work you admire hear your music and respond to it, something shifts. The record stops feeling like something you made in isolation and starts feeling like part of a conversation that was always bigger than you.

The limited edition CD is available now from the Mighty Force Bandcamp. It will sell out. If you want one, please don’t wait.

The digital version is on Bandcamp and Beatport.

If you have ever listened to anything I’ve made, please listen to this. It is the best thing I have done.

Listen and buy on Bandcamp
