We’re unveiling the band next Wednesday at The Nest in the first gig in the BEAST series of events with Community Music.

A lot of people have asked me what the band will sound like. It’s a tricky one as there’s so many styles but the most telling clue is the remix D-Code did of the Foreign Beggars back in 2008:

That remix, along with the tracks “Finger Puppets” and “Fray” from the Phasmatis In Machina album form the foundations of Driving Lolita.

Speaking of the Foreign Beggars make sure you reach their home-coming, headline gig at Koko this Thursday.

Mixmag did this feature on it and included an interview with me about the whole mad, insane process of mixing for film:

But there’s a problem.

I’ve already got a load of amazing tracks, remixes, cover versions and live stuff ready to mix and share with you, however there’s one niche that I’m looking to fill with something special.

I am a Prince nut and wanted to find something new and exciting inspired by the Purple Yoda for the show. SoundCloud have come to the rescue and helped set up our week-long crowd source experiment.

I’m also doing a Prince set at Bestival so this’ll go a long way of helping me out for that too!
