SubCulture

Welcome to SubCulture, your definitive guide to what I’m sonically immersing myself in while I work on the next big developments at the Submarine HQ.

This inaugural edition features artists old and new, friends, heroes, experimentalists, icons, guitar and non guitar music and cool stuff that I’ve come across recently.

Special mention goes out to Akusmi and NYX. I mixed their sound at the fabulous Hidden Notes festival in Stroud, a short walk from my house at the weekend. Akusmi is the French-born, London based composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Pascal Bideau who is making some wonderful stuff and NYX are a seven piece electronic drone choir who describe themselves as an otherworldly electric chorus, re-embodying live electronics and extended vocal techniques. Great stuff. Enjoy.
