The Artists
Bluevibe studio
With influences from Talkin Louds UK soul through the beats of Dilla to the futuristic essence of Spacek and Marc de Clive Lowe - Bluevibe studio mashes up some beautiful vocal performances from Lisa Preston and Lesley Paton to bring you This life volume.1 , the first in a series of EP releases from the heart and soul of the Bluevibe studio. This life volume.1 also features the keyboard skills of Lewis Macallum on the track High times plus 2 bonus Bluevibe studio remixes previously only released in demo form.
Skyman
Skyman was a live / electronic collective of musicians and producers from Auckland who formed in 2002. Skyman’s music was a blend of dirty beats and tape saturation. Skyman performed un-scripted, ‘re-mix’ style shows that gave the crowd a unique experience every time. This ‘dub plate’ style of performance is derived from a UK influenced passion for live samplers combined with a local style of musical improvisation.
‘Fallin’ the 2003 Skyman release featured on the LOOP Recordings compilation ‘Green Room .002 Wahine’. Skyman have played shows with many of NZ’s leading live acts including Open Souls, Rhian Sheehan, The Nomad, Minuit, 50HZ, and Dejusa.
The Skyman project is currently on hold as I’m working on a few different projects which are more studio based projects. I’d love to get out playing live again but need to focus more on working on my productions skills and working on a wider range of of collaborations and remix’s.
The Ghostfaders
The Ghostfaders first e.p The Archives vol.1 is currently available as a free digital download The Ghostfaders - The Archives Vol.1. The Ghostfaders project is all written, played, programmed and produced by me and has a more live feel to it than my other projects. This will be an ongoing project and I’ve already started a new batch of Ghostfaders tracks, although I won’t be writting them all in one weekend this time!
BVX
BVX is an ongoing project which I hope to release some tracks from in early 2008. Based on heavy beats and synths these tracks will be a much more upbeat sound than previous Bluevibe studio projects. I’ll be posting some of the BVX demo’s over the next couple of months as I’m looking for vocalists and synth players to collaborate on the tracks.
