Working under four aliases and across more than a dozen albums, he’s transmuted elements of jazz, drum & bass and trip-hop into his own brand of intricate, brooding electronica, developing a sound and method that’s defined by process and technique – not genre or style.

Arturia SQ80 V Cross Wave synth €199 PC MAC
