Due to a last minute line-up change I’m going to be performing at tonight’s Space Trash gig at The Triangle, Shipley! Really looking forward to taking the Space Trash stage again and performing alongside this stupidly talented line-up! ⚡️📼 shipleytriangle.com/collections/... 📸 by Nigel Bain

Music production tip: When you're setting up your studio, make sure you stick some pieces of foam on the wall. Bad sounds are attracted to foam and that way they won't go into your song. Also, if you get overexcited making your music and start going berserk, you won't damage that part of the wall 👍

Headlining our next event we have the glorious darkwave and industrial sounds of La Rissa! Having been featured on both 6 Music and BBC Radio 1. We can not wait to introduce them to the Space Trash stage! Tickets on sale now! shipleytriangle.com/collections/... #gigs #synth #darkwave #shipley

Found this in the ‘Soundtracks’ section at Five Rise Records. I’d definitely want to watch the film which had this score behind it! 😎 Take a funk fuelled intergalactic trip with my latest album ‘Night Waves’. ⚡️📼 flashcassette.bandcamp.com/album/night-... #synth #funk #disco #vinyl #synthwave
