DJ, London Vegan Drinks - November 2015 to date

Despite officially retiring as 'idiotech' in May of 2015, I've since become the resident DJ at London Vegan Drinks - typically playing attendees' requests from 10pm until after midnight.

I also DJed at the after party for the Official Animals Rights March, and at vegan New Year's Eve parties in 2015 and 2016.

DJ, VegfestUK (Bristol) - 23 May 2015

Following a low-key set at the same event the previous year, I took to the main stage on the Saturday night in 2015 (for the last time as 'idiotech').

Composer, The Vegan Option / Vegetarianism: The Story So Far - October 2011 ;to date

Creation of themes and incidental 'stings' for two vegan-related radio shows.

DJ, Secret Garden Party, 23 July 2010

Playing "The Remix Bubble" stage at this 26,000 capacity festival.

Remixer, The Prodigy - 23 August 2004

As part of the unofficial 'Always Outsiders, Never Outdone' project, an unofficial remix version of The Prodigy's 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned' album, I remixed the band's single 'Girls' - with their management going on to approve my version for release on DVD in the US.

I subsequently remixed 'Close Your Eyes' for 'Flip The Switch' (a similar project for The Chemical Brothers' 'Push The Button' album released the following year).

DJ, Xfm Rinse - 20 November 2004

The Rinse was Xfm's flagship dance show, showcasing "the best in guest DJ mixes worldwide from the established big guns to the up-and-coming bedroom massive." The idiotech rinse featured an eclectic mix of remixes, mash-ups, and original tunes - including electro, rock, breakbeat, house and drum'n'bass.

DJ, Xfm Remix - 4 January 2004

Mixed the first 'Superchunk' of the year - a 30-minute mix "from a cutting edge artist or producer" featured on Xfm's critically acclaimed and Sony Award nominated show, The Remix.

The idiotech 'Superchunk' was an eclectic mix of old and new, breakbeat, trance, electroclash and rock, with the occasional remix, 'live bootleg', and twisted cover - and the world premiere of an original idiotech track ('identity').

DJ, A-Z of DJs - 18 December 2003

The Xfm Remix Xmas Special / Wall Of Sound 10th Birthday at Cargo had 26 DJs all dropping their favourite party tunes. This 'A-Z' also included top DJs from Arthur Baker to Zoot Woman - including Coldcut, Lottie, Soulwax, and X-Press 2.

Proceeds from the night were donated to Shelter.
