Neon City – Lofi Chillout
While I love doing tracks with guest artists and have more planned (I'm in the studio finishing one off right now!), these things take a huge time and cash investment so I wanted to release some tracks that I can create with just a laptop, headphones and a controller...
Mercy Mercy Mercy – Keyboard Tutorial Video
For a while now I've been wanting to put some keyboard tutorials online but copyright was always an issue - to get an MCPS license was far too expensive for this type of project. Then along came wearethehits.com, a company that has negotiated a deal with publishing...
CME Xkey 37 Controller Keyboard Features Demo

Stronger – Modal Mix
Hey folks! First up a warning, this video contains some strobing effects! I'd been wanting to do my own remix to this track to give it more power in the chorus so here's the result, I hope you like it. It still features the fabulous Johnny Thirkell on brass! The video...

Living Your Best Life
Back in the days when we used to go and watch Level 42 in concert, I was in awe of the whole band and never dreamed that one day Saxophonist Gary Barnacle would be playing on one of my tracks. Well here we are and Gary has done an absolutely awesome Alto Sax lead...

It's release day at last! Ain't Nobody Playin' is back on the stores with a new mix. Want to say a huge thanks to Nick Van Gelder and Gaz Rackham for contributing their amazing skills to the track. Also huge thanks to Dave Lockwood for his sonically superior DL Mix....
Ain’t Nobody Playin’ Release Date
Back when I first started playing music, it was my dream to have a jazz-funk-fusion album that I could be proud of. Along with a bunch of funk-loving friends, I spent hours studying the work of The Brecker Brothers, George Duke, Level 42, Stanley Clarke, Weather...
