i was born into a family of renegade urban deer when i was 9 years old. bobo the stag (my father) was always encouraging me to get involved in the family business of raiding bins at night for scraps of food but as soon as i was old enough to leave home at 48 i realised i wanted to get involved with music and sonic disturbance much to the embarrassment of the herd's elders. After being ostracized from the herd for two years, i finally managed to get a job as a male stripper in a go-go bar. Many months and many nights later of enforced, lustful abandon i managed to save enough money to get my first electronic kettle sound manipulation unit with the psychedelic maximiser plug in......the rest is history.Have you performed in front of an audience?yes, so far scotland only...and the most memorable was being on the same bill as one of my heroes, Frog Pocket.

Congratulations on your signing and upcoming label releases!
Shine does really have a working formula with the heavy driven beats and the moving didji and then there is the slower,mysterical sweeping layers of synths 'n the slower moving melodies on both sides. The contrasts does make the light shine. The sounds used, adds at the same time, to the dark, intense vibe of the song.
