Biografía
- Etch discovered music via hand me downs from his uncle, auntie and mother, all children of the rave generation. This combined with a love of technology spurred Etch to transform his influences into vast psychedelic bass heavy productions.Etch began producing in his bedroom at the age of 12 after the infectious curiosity of early 00’s drum & bass, hip hop and experimental electronic music, as time developed and he carved a taste in music through garage, grime, dubstep and hip hop, he began to amalgamate his past into his productions, form the psychedelic and colourful soundscapes of The Doors, 13th Floor Elevators, Piero Umiliani, Tom Waits and to the dusty collection of his uncles records including Mo’ Wax, Metalheadz, No U Turn, Dee Jay and Moving Shadow. With a love of technicality and emotive expression via drums, bass, atmospherics and electronic intricacies, Etch set about making warm, nostalgic and backwards looking but forward facing music and has since released on Keysound, Lapsus, Sony Space + Time, Sunday Best & Soundman Chronicles and most recently started his own label Altered Roads (to name a few). Etch's approach to DJing is as far flung as his inspirations for production, seamlessly drawing in the tearing breaks of jungle & dnb, with the half time patterns of hip hop, moving up and down bpm selections and styles creating an exciting and varied amalgamation of sounds.̸Digi only Vekta Records VR005 – Etch – RGB EP – 2011 Digi only Bandcamp Release ETCH001 – Darksides – 2012 Digi only Self-release – Horizons EP - 2013 12” - Soundman Chronicles SMNCHR002 – Etch – Rise EP - 2013 12” + Digi Keysound LDN037 – V/A – Keysound Allstars Vol.2 (track “Scattah”) - 2013 12” + Digi Keysound LDN040 – Etch – Old School Methods EP – 2013 12” + Digi + CD Lapsus Records LPS09 – V/A – Deu (track “Synapse”) - 2014 Digi only – Sunday Best – Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip – Terminal EP – Terminal (Etch Rmx) - 2014 2x12” + Digi + CD – Keysound LDN050 – V/A – Certified Connections LP (track “Champion Dancehall) – 2014 Digi only – Sony RCA/Space & Time – Etch – Chemotaxis EP - 2014 Digi only – Polydor Records – Joywave – Somebody New (Etch Rmx) - 2015 12” - Soundman Chronicles SMNCHR006 – Etch – The Serpent & The Rainbow EP – 2015 12” – Wisdom Teeth WSDM003 – Etch /K-Lone – Toxin/Broke - 2015 Digi only – Bun The Grid BTGFREE01 – Etch – EastCoast JungleWorx Vol.1 - 2015 12” – Lapsus LPS12 – Etch – Technicolor Daydream EP – 2016 12” ltd 300 – Gully GULLY01 – Various Artists – Vol.1 (track “Collision”) - 2016 12” & Digi – Sneaker Social Club SNK009 – Untitled Hardcore EP - 2016 12” & Digi – Purple City Souffle PSC002 – Cosmic B-Boy EP – 2016 12” – Dr Banana DB001 – DB001 – 2016 12” – BTG001 – YoYo Riddim – 2016 12” & Digi – HM010 Halogen Music - Etch & Ilk – My Soul – 2016 Digi only – Bun The Grid BTGFREE02 – Etch – EastCoast JungleWorx Vol.2 - 2017 12” – Dr Banana DB002 – DB002 – 2017 7” – Gully/Well Rounded GULLY02 – Synapse Cluster 2017 12" - Sneaker Social Club SNKR012 - Chemotaxis EP Re-Release 2017 12" & Digi - Altered Roads ALTRD001 - Altered Roads Vol.1 2018 Cassette & Digi - Soundman Chronicles SMNCHR009 - Altered Tapes Vol.1 2018
