I’m delighted to announce that the track ‘Undercover’ which was originally released as a single by Columbia France in 2000 is reissued today (29th December 2023) on all digital platforms.
The release features the original version from my debut album Life Changes, alongside excellent remixes by Silicone Soul and The Phunk Master.

I’m delighted to announce that my debut album ‘Life Changes’ is being re-released digitally on the 8th December 2023. Originally released back in 2000 by Columbia France, it features a whole host of amazing guests. I’ll be posting some more clips and memories over the next couple of weeks. Many thanks to Johnny Chandler for making it happen, all the kind folks at Sony France, Guy Trezise my manager at the time, and Marie Gomis-Trezise who signed the album!
There’ll also be further rereleases in 2024 🤩

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.
