AV MIXTAPES:
SEEN BETTER DAYS
LIFE IS PRETTY WHEN IT'S DARK
I HOPE THIS HELPS TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF
When I was born I nearly died. I stopped breathing and the doctor brought me back to life.
My parents believe this was the start of everything.
These are stories about light & dark. Light has always been part of my life - an inspiration for what I’m all about.
Some of my favourite sources of light include :
Using a torch to read a comic, safely under the
covers in bed when I was a kid
The glow inside the local Arcade
The passing sunlight whilst travelling
Rave lights
The lights in my parent's home
Summer evenings
Sunlight through trees
Hospital lights
Autumn light
The flickering light from a projector bulb
Office lights
But then I was touched by darkness and shadows. Somehow they became beautiful too.
Will these AV mixtapes explain it all?
Probably not.
But it’s worth giving it a try right?
Are you ready?
These are a brand new series of AV mixtapes using all my own music for the first time ever. A mind-boggling trip through Hip Hop, Drum and Bass, Garage, House and Techno. With an aim to make more experimental AV mixtapes in this series, exclusively only available on the everyone+everything festival website and to be performed live if funded at everyone+everything festival in London.
