Photek - 'Mine to Give' Deconstruction w/ Ski Oakenfull Ft. Robert Owens & Voice-Swap AI (Live 12)

I fell in love with Robert Owen's voice when I first heard the Frankie Knuckles track 'Tears' and the amazing songs he made withmy hero Larry Heard. So I jumped at the chance to deconstruct a track that Robert had written and sung on, and 'Mine To Give' by Photek seemed the perfect choice. I bought the 12" when it came out in 2001 from the legendary Rhythm Records in Camden, and loved its dubby 909 deep house retro sound.

Ski Oakenfull - Rising Son LP [2005] - Released on all digital platforms - 28th July 2023

I’m delighted to announce that my second album, ‘Rising Son’ is available today on digital platforms. Originally released in 2005 on Bluey’s ‘Rice Records’ imprint, the record marked an important moment in my career and is a project I hold very dear to my heart. My first album ‘Life Changes’ had come out five years earlier, and in the years after, I was very busy with production and remix work, as well as writing and playing keyboards with 2 Banks of 4. Since the mid-nineties I’d built up an amazing working relationship with Bluey from Incognito, which meant that I regularly found myself at his studio, The Blue Room, writing and producing on various projects. Bluey’s son, Daniel (aka Dokta Venom) was often there too, and in 2001 I was lucky enough to work on the ‘Para:Diso’ project (a Bluey/Venom production). Dan and I shared a lot of musical influences such as David Sylvian, Johnny Marr, and Theo Parrish, so when Bluey asked if I wanted to make an album with Daniel for his label, I jumped at the chance.
