Inspiring the next generation! Having fun with the V collection, first with my massive Keylab 88 II, then with her own machine and Keylab 49. Interfaces are iD48 in the mix room and iD4 in the bedroom, and IN-UNF making the sound in the mix room.

Finally finished my tiny mix room! Also set for voiceover, video editing on a 43” screen, guitar recording with a Quad Cortex and full hybrid mixing through the iD48 and all my outboard under the desk. Somehow stuffed an Keylab 88 II in as well. It’s only 7 feet by 7 feet but it works nicely!

I am cooking like a ham. This is with lots of factor 50 sun cream! Time for some indoors….

Holiday. And relax! Video launch went well, landed in Tunisia, got a beer and an iPad pretending to be a PlayStation. Now to get the noise cancelling on before the “show” starts!

Condition? Bad. Sound? Still good! Got this years ago after a flood had damaged a load of vinyl, this didn’t happen whilst in my care! Still sounds ok despite some pops and crackles, and proper cleaning…

Finally got a new record player, one that actually plays at proper pitch! Getting to spin The Overview by - what an epic album. Can’t wait to play the Atmos version at HQ next time I’m there

My now-famous backpack (as seen on from ) is with me on my trip from the north of England to LA via London. Still looks almost new despite being hauled around so much..
You can see it in the new iD48 Promo videos that we made which I’m super proud of.

I can finally show off my new desk! It’s from , slightly modified to fit the Keylab 88 mkII amongst everything else.
The wait, of course, was because of the iD48 which I’ve been beta testing and using to make the videos that have now been released to the world. Can’t wait for you all to get yours March 3rd.

Dropped in at and I’m so glad I did. The coffee is truly outstanding, starting with a guest double espresso, then onto a Colombian filter that is so fruity and clear you could almost mistake it for a tea. A great place to get work done, but I had to queue for a table at 10:30 am so it’s obviously popular!
Had to go for the association 😅
