Datassette

A "veteran of the underground", "ambient-electro lynchpin" and one of electronic music's "stealthiest undercover operatives". Datassette produces addictive, complex music with heart, employing a blend of vintage hardware and modern digital techniques, refusing to settle on any genre, and inventing a few new ones along the way. An extensive and diverse back catalogue spanning 20 years includes albums, EPs and remixes for dozens of independent labels including Ai Records, Apollo/R&S, Wall Of Sound, CPU, Shipwrec, Future Massive, Frequency Domain, and Rebel Intelligence.

Commissions include a ten-channel ambient soundscape for the Norwegian Maritime Museum, music for TV and radio spots, 8-bit video game sound effects, and bespoke geotagged music inspired by architecture for the Musicity Global project. In between music production and graphic design work, he also curates the much loved Music For Programming podcast, co-runs Misc., the label specialising in releasing artists unexpected side-projects.
