Black Sod, Ireland

Pioneer of "Vinyl Techno". Audiophile quality techno.

100% vinyl samples, digitised and manipulated with extensive sound engineering. Then mixed live.

The mechanical compression cycle of vinyl is the cornerstone of my sound engineering process when building the samples for a live set.

The form of the music is heavily influenced by techno, but it's individual components come from almost every genre. I am only interested in stripping out the sounds from the vinyl that I can plug into acoustic slots within the overall mix.

Sometimes, if I fall in love with a track, I'll let it run by itself. Other times, I use a thin slice of it as a seasoning in the overall mix.

Always EQed and mastered for large scale club systems and high end HI-Fi systems with massive transparent basses, ribbons of tape compressed synths, cathedral like lo-fi soundscapes, crisp high end and a large dynamic range and create a huge soundstage.

Turn up the volume and let the journey begin.
