‘World Music Market’ is out now! Buy here: www.deadbearsongs.bandcamp.com - all proceeds to Refugees Welcome. This project has been over two years in the making and it’s insane to think I was looking around that market and collecting the vinyls that became this record that much time ago. Every record is an emotional journey for its creator and releasing one can be a weird experience but this feels hugely positive and I’m really excited for everyone to hear it - its harmonious and jarringly juxtaposed elements (musically, politically, ethically, culturally). It won’t be on Spotify/streaming services straight away but you can hear the full album now exclusively on Echoes and Dust.

Extremely excited to be doing a lecture and hands on demo of the marking of my new record ‘World Music Market’ at Pop Kultur Festival this year for their Nachwuchs. I’ll be deconstructing the tracks, talking about working with samples, the risks and choices made in working with material from other cultures and what it means to make a concept record in 2019.

Big up @adidas_de for putting my single Tongues ft @_qrion_ on rotation in all their stores across Germany. I should probably buy more sports wear. 🔥 (at Adidas Homecourt Store Berlin)

Was great to speak with Lola Magazine on work and music <3 thanks guys. Read the full interview here: http://lolamag.de/feature/calm-after-the-storm/

I wrote this album in two halves. Three songs were written in Manchester and the other three were written over in Berlin where I live now. Change and uncertainty in my personal life have hugely influenced this record, as has living in East Berlin (the nightlife, the abandoned space, the oases of incredible nature that you stumble upon). The atmospheres and context of this album relate to almost post-apocalyptic scenes - I guess this sounds pretty bleak but it's not meant to be negative - in many ways it's a liberating feeling. Many of the songs on album simultaneously embody euphoria and deep sadness, a sense of emotional and geographical displacement. Using music from other cultures and combing those together into visions of a new culture has been a constant in my work. It's hardly a concept record, but throughout the writing and recording process this vision of a broken but ultimately healed society, or peaceful aftermath of a great cultural/societal destruction was one that kept emerging. And forests. The forests in Berlin have been one of the single biggest influences on me creatively. This is the first DEADBEAR record I have released myself; every other record has been put out by a label, so I'm really excited to combine my first self release with my debut album. I hope you enjoy the music.
