Niagara - Niagara
This album was released on January 1st 2020 and is a collaboration with X-Sample Jr.
I had the idea of doing a sort of Fireman type side project and started playing about with synths and drum loops.
The idea was to soundtrack a journey in a New York taxi cab to various clubs and destinations around the city.
We recorded during 2019 at Sam's studio and sure enough the pieces started to come together.
It was just a little idea, so we kept it nice and simple and didn't over complicate things. We wanted to keep the pieces short and accessible so that even the casual fans of electronica might enjoy it.
We released the track 'Luna' in a typical DJ styled sleeve (pictured beneath) in November 2019. That was the one track we talked about making a longer version of, like a proper club mix, it's got a good dance floor groove to it.
