Pete Ardron - musician

Stacking my DJ case for tonight. Been so long since the last time that I forgot just how busy I've been inside while I haven't been going out!

Chilling with Myo after an excellent reheasal for the #UnexpectedPleasures launch, listening to the nearly finished next #Orchid-Star album to remind ourselves there are more goodies on the way!

One of 2 songs on the Unexpected Pleasures album featuring guest performances from Teresa Gabriel. I first met Teresa in 2005 when she performed at one of the IDSpiral Mellouts. From the first song I was hooked - incredible voice, immaculate guitar but more than anything the most incredibly beautiful songs. At a time when I was blissing out on the newly discovered joys of psychedelic chill, and finding a new home there, somehow when I look back the soundtrack of my memory of those years is still her songs and she remains one of my all-time favourite artists Whether you like this track or not, check out Teresa's own music Blue Sky Dreams was recorded in 2006. I was very excited about it and played it out once at The Synergy Project but decided I shouldn't have - something wasn't right about it. I returned to it again and again over the years but didn't finally finish it and play it again for 8 years! Unexpected Pleasures will be out on Nov 4th (via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4l5zPDVeshs)

Excellent first rehearsal with #Psibindi yesterday - preparing for the launch party and for future gigs - can't wait to go live with the album! #UnexpectedPleasures

very excited - just received stems to do a remix for #Squazoid - even better, it'll be a remix swap!

​everything for the album has gone off to the manufacturers. It's 12 years since I started the first track so it's quite an emotional thing to actually let go of it and know there's nothing more I can do whether I want to or not! Emotional but exciting! #unexpectedpleasures #Peteardron

This is the video for the title track of my new album - (beautifully) featuring my first deaf vocalist Helen and an equally beautiful anonymous Scottish blackbird recorded by BBC sound recordist Geoff Sample https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTt9jCmwhp8
