I am currently completing work on my new record which is hopefully to be released on both vinyl and CD. The album will be a departure in a way from the previous two as it will feature a lot more work done live in one take with little processing within the software realm.  I'm currently in the process of editing as there is a lot here to get through and so am planning on a September release. More news as soon as I have it! Cheers, Alex

CDr's are available directly from the label

The next Recluse is an f-box records birthday bash and also features live sets from Elite Barbarian Isnaj Dui, & Archslider. There will be plenty of improv as these nights are now tending towards to shift more and more towards an improvisational focus which I am very pleased about! If anyone wants to play and you think you would be interested in this kind of atmosphere then please contact me on this page or contact katie at f-box records.

Where do I get tickets?
http://www.wegottickets.com/event/25342

How do I get there?
Elephant & Castle Tube
If arriving by tube follow the signs for the Shopping Centre exit. On passing through the ticket barriers take the ramp to your left which heads up in to the shopping centre. Once inside, walk straight past the escalators and cafe area and through the exit doors ahead of you. Pass straight through the Thameslink ticket area, through the exit and turn right on to Elephant Road. Corsica Studios is 50m further down the road on your right hand side. This may sound complicated but it is the simplest way to get here if arriving by tube.

And the directions?
