With almost ten consecutive weeks on Radio 1, including the Essential Mix, this reworking rapidly became one of the biggest underground hits of 2007 and a failsafe floor filler for headline DJs the world over. His subsequent re-edits of Leftfield and Underworld received similar cult status and critical acclaim. Now with over 45 tracks signed to labels including Baroque, Re*brand, Nascent, Plastic Fantastic, SOG and Mashtronic and remixes of Grammy Award winners, 'Deep Forest' and New York house legend 'Lenny Fontana' - not to mention his eagerly anticipated official remix of Cevin Fisher's seminal "You Got Me Burning Up" - Tim has definitely emerged as one of the most promising producers of recent years. With so many accomplishments tucked under his belt, an album was long overdue and ‘Long Way From Home’, forthcoming in the Spring of 2008 on Baroque Records, is the debut offering that so many have been waiting for. "The freedom afforded to me by Baroque was incredibly liberating” says Tim “and a great opportunity to not only create further dancefloor orientated tracks but, more excitingly, to also create more eclectic and diverse sounds and structures. This album truly represents my greatest influences.” The range of sounds and styles on this full-length offering certainly bear testament to this mission statement and go a long way to illustrate just why his music is continually held in such high regard by everyone from Paul van Dyk and Marco V to James Zabiela, Deep Dish and Max Graham. His rise to prominence as a producer, coupled with an increasingly punishing DJing schedule goes some way to explaining the title of this body of work, with much of its content being conceived in hotel rooms, planes and airport lounges throughout the world. Last year has also seen Tim headlining major festivals across Europe and Asia and this is set to continue with the launch of the debut album with dates across the globe. It was when he was selected by Dave Seaman and Nick Warren as one of their Gallery 'Future Heroes' in 2003 at the legendary Turnmills that Tim first came to the attention of the London scene. His productions are also scheduled for remix treatment from Infusion, Mashtronic, Max Graham and Morgan Page and his tracks have been licensed to compilations mixed by Seb Fontaine, Max Graham and Chris Lake among many others. "I'm really into Tim's stuff," says Hernan Cattaneo, "all his tracks always work really well." Paul van Dyk is equally gushing about the London-based artist "You can hear Tim in my sets again and again," while Marco V describes him as "One of my favourite producers of the moment - I love his work!" With support like this it's easy to see why his work is finding favour from all quarters and why the likes of Carl Cox, Sasha, John Digweed, Deep Dish, Steve Lawler, Dave Seaman, Nick Warren, Nic Fanciulli and James Zabiela have all been rocking dancefloors across the world with his productions over the last few years. The album delivers a journey through an usually wide range of sounds from the outstanding drive and power of "Rattle and Hum" to the beautifully laidback, Balearic ambience of "Headlights in the Clouds" and onwards to the classical, orchestral breaks of "Dolce" and the trip hop grooves of "Beckoning Silence".
