BBC interview & first play of 'Bye Bye Baby' plus new release dates

Hi gang,

I did an hour long interview on BBC Radio's 'Introducing' show with Linda Serck in Reading last week, which aired on Sunday October 11th! This includes the first ever radio play of our next single 'Bye Bye Baby' which comes out in November. You can still hear it for the next week online at the iPlayer, click forward to the 11 minutes 50 seconds point to hear my interview: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p004mm5k/The_Session_11_10_2009/

Plus, next week Tom Robinson is going to be playing a new Temposhark track on his BBC 6 Music 'Introducing' show in London! I met up with Tom a few weeks ago, it was wonderful to see him, he's really cool - we did our first live session with Tom a few years ago during The Invisible Line album promotion - he was one of our first champions! :)

In other news, I have 2 important release dates for you. Firstly - the single 'Bye Bye Baby' will be released worldwide on 23rd November 2009. I just filmed the music video for this song in London's Limehouse Town Hall. It's a hammer horror inspired film directed by genius new director Ben Charles Edwards... there are photos already circulating on Facebook - I can't wait for you to see the actual video! The single itself comes with some cool remixes, so lots to look forward to.

We launch the video on the very apt Friday 13th November during our live show at Camden's Proud Galleries, for their new series of glamorous events 'Tales of The Unexpected'. More details on our MySpace. See you there!!


Also on 26th October 2009 (my birthday!), I'm releasing a 20 track 'Remixes & Rarities' album dating from 2004-2008 which includes lots of remixes and previously unreleased songs! You can see the full track list at Amazon. This will be available a digital album only, but comes with a stylish PDF artwork file too.


More soon.

Temposhark Podcast returns, Rising Star Awards, White Cubicle gallery.

I met up with producer genius MaJiKer yesterday in London's Soho and interviewed him for the first of a new series of the Temposhark Podcast.

Majiker, producer extraordinaire

Most of you will by now have MaJiKer's beautiful remix of new Temposhark track 'Threads' on the b-side of my brand new single. It's one of my favourite remixes ever as it really takes the track to a brand new place. You can listen to the mix at iTunes too (http://bit.ly/U1ufr). Thanks to everyone who downloaded the single this week as I had my highest electronic iTunes UK chart place so far! :)

In other news, I just heard Temposhark are in semi-finals of Rising Star Award for the British Music Week 2009! Thanks every1 who voted! Out of 10,000 bands!

Finally, this Sunday 20th September I've been asked to 'cut the ribbon' to mark the opening of artist Julie Verhoeven's latest exhibition, in association with London Fashion Week, at the White Cubicle gallery in the bathroom of George & Dragon pub in East London. See you all there! http://www.whitecubicle.com Their nights are always a riot.
