As a drummer, his compositions draw inspiration from afro-jazz rudiments and polyrhythmic percussion, which is interlaced with a cosmic array of synthesisers, alongside both sampled and real orchestral summonings. Previous collaborations include artists such as Photay, Iglooghost as well as producing remixes for artists such as Rina Sawayama and Flamingods, along with a breadth of DJ performances including Boiler Room, Great Escape Festival and NTS Radio.
He has released EPs on Tape Club Records and Apothecary Compositions, and with recent support from Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM and BBC 6 Music, his debut LP Syzygy lands on the whimsical and ever-experimental Activia Benz.
