Legendary & Timeless – Anjunadeep 11 Live @ Printworks
Posted on October 3rd, 2020 by Tim Aldiss
I wanted to immortalise this brilliant DJ set. It’s so much more than a set actually. It’s a lush, deep landscape of music that is so perfectly crafted together, and what’s more-so is that it was performed live as surely one of the last great live electronic dance music events before lockdown. For me it […]

Submotion Orchestra – a study in bass & production
Posted on November 26th, 2014 by Tim Aldiss
Formed in Leeds in 2009 the Submotion Orchestra are touching the zeitgeist with their dynamic frequencies and crisp production. Their sound has been heralded by younger dance fans and ageing beard-stroking musos alike. Influences span the decades, from jazz, to soul, ambient, dubstep, electronica and house but are all nailed firmly to the ground with some […]

Drum and Bass – Lost in Space & Divaz n Bass
Posted on June 9th, 2013 by Tim Aldiss
Still love this old late nineties drum and bass mix tape of mine which is now up on Youtube. For me this was a golden era of drum and bass, after all the ragga and attitude of the dying rave scene had petered out and a new era was heralded by the likes of LTJ […]

Radio Ink – Who We Are Tonight (Rogue Vogue Remix)
Posted on October 27th, 2012 by Tim Aldiss
Every now and then a really great house tune comes along and knocks your socks off. For an old timer like me the track has to have a heavy does of house-history, and this great remix of a an Australian Electro Pop band tune has just that.

Hendrix Reads Aldiss
Posted on August 31st, 2012 by Tim Aldiss
How about this gem of a photo that @penguinbookaday tweeted recently. OK so technically Jimi Hendrix isn’t actually reading dad’s work (his name is on the cover as the editor), but I am still impressed with this roundabout claim to fame. Hendrix was an SF fan, he has also been quoted as enjoying dad’s work, but the […]
