I'm a radio producer, digital producer and occasional music writer living in London. I'm currently producing shows for Gilles Peterson, both on BBC Radio 1 and for syndication. In my spare time I make my own music, as well as mess around with photography and film. I've set this blog up to both document the projects I work on at work and at home, as well as to have a place to post stuff I like. Holler!

Photos of BADBADNOTGOOD at Maida Vale Studios, London - Sunday 22nd January 2012.
On Sunday, off the back of 2 sold out shows in London, the BADBADNOTGOOD boys from Canada went into BBC Maida Vale studios to record 4 tracks for Gilles Peterson’s BBC Radio 1 Show. The session included their now infamous Odd Trio ‘Bastard/Lemonade’ Medley, a dope original composition entitled ‘DMZ’ and two striking James Blake covers of ‘CMYK’ and ‘Limit To Your Love’, and as I’ve not stuck anything on here for a while, I thought I’d stick up a couple pictures from the session.
You can check the Radio 1 show from last night, where Gilles played three of the tracks from the session HERE, in what was a packed studio with Alex BBNG, Thundercat, DJ Simbad and Matt all passing through.
More Awards for The Nightjar App
A few months back I produced The Nightjar iphone app alongside a number of talented individuals at Somethin Else and AMV BBDO.
Since then, it’s won a number of awards!
The BIMA Awards
The Lovie Awards
It does appear as if AMV BBDO are very good at submitting entries for projects they’ve collaborated on, which is good! However, it does seem like they also forget quite quickly that those projects were indeed collaborations, where the majority of the work was done by other parties. Where is the Somethin Else credit? We’ll give them the benefit of the doubt… A minor administrative oversight on their part I’m sure.
Gilles Peterson With Special Guest Thom Yorke on BBC Radio 1
Tonight Gilles and Thom reunite for another back-to-back words and music session. They touch on all kinds of topics over the 2 hours, from his collaborations with Burial and Four Tet, and his side-project with Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers, through to DJing at Low End Theory and forthcoming tour plans for Radiohead.
Thom drops a load of music from the new The King of Limbs Remix album, as well as an exclusive first play of a Jamie xx remix of Radiohead.
To whet your appetite, here’s a clip from the show, where Thom gives Gilles a literary recommendation.
The show goes out in it’s entirety, on Wednesday morning, 2-4am, on BBC Radio 1. You can listen here!

From Thursday to Monday we were in Sete, France, for Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Festival. Absolutely stunning scenery and locations, with 4-5000 fans there to enjoy some of the most interesting acts around at the moment.
Whilst I was there I had the privilege to photograph and interview some of the incredible artists performing including Flying Lotus, Kode 9 and Jamie xx. Those interviews were broadcast in Gilles’ BBC Radio 1 show and below you can listen to the Jamie xx section.
You can listen to Gilles’ show in it’s entirety HERE!

Cushtilla’s ‘50bpms in 40 Minutes’ Mix (House-Bass Music-Footwork-D&B) by Cushtilla on Mixcloud
I got Ableton Live 8 for work, and whilst I was on holiday in the US this week, I put a little mix together.
It’s a bunch of music I’ve been enjoying over the last year, from house (Neon Jung, Kenton Slash Demon, Axel Boman), some techno-y/bass music-y stuff (Scuba, Redlight, Julio Bashmore, Last Japan, Machine Drum, The Colonious), onto a footwork remix, and then stepping up to some D&B favourites from a couple years back (Naibu, Beta 2). Some old, some new, it’s a bit random, but whhhy not.

Lil Wayne - Stun Like My Daddy (Cushtilla Remix) by Cushtilla
After exceeding the download limit on soundcloud for this remix I made a while back, I thought I’d host it on Bandcamp, so if you still want to download it you can!
