Long time collaborator and resident DJ of the UKs longest running club funk and soul promoters, Jelly Jazz. Also exploring new style of clubbing with Rambunctious Social Club project in the southwest of Britain. Currently traveling with my wife in South America and collecting sounds as I go with a Sony PCM D50 handheld field recorder. Also hoping to hook up with other DJs and producers on the way, especially to explore the handful of new artists making new music with old traditional Andean musica folklorica.

TRIP UPDATE: SOON TO BE A DAD! We just made a baby in Peru...which is due to emerge in June so I'd better crack on and finish some of these tracks off because I guess I'll have a lot less time next year!!!!!

REQUEST FOR HELP and ADVICE: I see Soundcloud as a fantastic learning opportunity. I'm the first to admit I'm a beginner at production. If there are any half competent producers out there that can clearly hear problems with my tunes or things that I could improve on then PLEASE do let me know. I'm not proud. It can be incredibly difficult to get good advice about sound production so I greatly appreciate constructive criticism. Bear in mind I'm mixing on headphones at the moment. Also all of my remixes are additive in that I have to take the entire original and add parts to it. I can't take anything away because I don't have access to studio track files. But any help you can give me would be appreciated. Cheers Griff

PS I've also just started the 'Nueva Andina' group and will be moderating that to help promote the artists that are experimenting with modern forms of Andean music.
