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(link is external)’ 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(link is external)’ 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(link is external). Since the mid-nineties I’d built up an amazing working relationship with Bluey(link is external) from Incognito(link is external), 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(link is external) Venom(link is external)) was often there too, and in 2001 I was lucky enough to work on the ‘Para:Diso(link is external)’ 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.
