I’ve also been making beats and loops since the late nineties, but got a real taste of producing when I co-mixed the Baby Charles album. It wasn’t long before Beta Hector was born out of experimenting with heavy drum loops, bass lines, analogue synths, guitars, vintage tape machines and a range of talented vocalists. The first taste of my project appeared on the “Payback”/”Creepin’” 7” single which was released in 2010, in line with the ‘Tru Thoughts Funk’ compilation. The two songs, both featuring my pal Dionne Charles on vocals, were met with a great reaction from the likes of DJ Food, DJ Format and Ashley Beedle, and plans were laid for my debut album.

The first single from my ‘Sunbeam Insulin’ album will be “Jupiter Mission”, out on 8th August. A throwback sci-fi disco-inflected track voiced by my sister Jo. The song’s about an intergalactic incident featuring a character called ‘Serial No.815’… My debut album 'Sunbeam Insulin' comes out on 12th Sept.
