Hi Ana, how are you? I’m doing well. Excited to be releasing “Bleeding Pen,” but also have some of those release jitters! Congratulations on the upcoming release of “Bleeding Pen,” how does it feel to put this song out? Insane, honestly! I’ve been really looking forward to putting this one out. I’m very proud of …
Carol Jarvis is back with a tune that showcases both her voice and her trombone playing, she came on my radar with a track called “In My Veins” which was my track of the year at the time it came out. This is a house track, it starts off all atmospheric, before it drops into …
This one is a pulse racer! The piano sets the tempo, and just runs! It’s a great little jazz instrumental, using bass, drums, and piano, the whole track is off kilter it seems the time signature flits between a few bars I gave up counting because quite frankly it had me grooving. It messes with …
I recently had a chat online with @weeblade about @petshopboys and it made me think of this song. It was never released as a single, but was on their Behaviour album from 1990. This is typical of that era of the PSBs, it’s moody, and having been recorded on analog synths, it gives off that warmth. Lyrically it’s …
Congratulations on the release of “This Was Then” how does it feel? Thanks so much! It always feels great to put out an album, especially if you’re proud of it… It’s your ninth album, is there a running theme?

Hello Fini how are you? I’m great, thanks! Congratulations on the release of “Last Night Of The World” how does it feel? It feels really good- it was a long time coming (from conception to realisation) and it straddles the birth of my daughter, so I am relieved & also proud to have wrapped it …
First of all, let’s get this out of the way. Hiromi is a badass on the piano. No. Let me say it louder for those that didn’t hear me in the back. Hiromi is a badass on the piano. I SAID WHAT I SAID! This track starts off with a fun synth lead, it’s an …
Picture: Brendan Holmes You are a multifaceted producer and sound engineer, how did it all begin for you? Well, I played in bands and wrote songs as a kid but at some point decided that I might be better suited for the studio side of making music and so I went to Berklee College of …
This is such a gentle track, all built around synths. The thing that caught my ear was the way that the chords started, keeping tempo and then all the elements being added in. It’s just two chords but sometimes that’s all you need. There’s an arpeggiated synth in there that’s quite subtle but then there’s …
