Oh dear... its been a long time since I've updated this!
Well, for the last year or so I've been really busy running my studio bunker7 www.bunker7.co.uk. Been very stressed but had a lot of fun producing ska, punk, hardcore, metal and indie bands from all over.... Unfortuntately the company who owned the building I was in decided to practically double the rent and I had to move. At the moment I'm recording at Inch(which is a very nice studio. Diana Ross recorded some stuff there you know) and doing mixing and mastering at home. Hopefully plans that are in motion for a new studio in Manchester will come to fruition in about 6 months time, and it will be very special indeed.
In the meantime check out these guys...
Sonic Boom Six... Their album 'The Ruff Guide to Genre Terrorism', which was produced by me, is out now in shops. Go and buy it! It's very good and has some lovely mashy-uppy-glitchy bits which were crafted with my very own hands... www.sonicboomsix.co.uk
Also check out a bootleg I did sometime ago with one of their older songs... ' The Mighty Mighty Boom' -> DOWNLOAD MP3-< . Sonic Boom Six vs The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

I'm opening a recording studio in July! .. but I haven't thought
of a good name for it. I don't think I want to call it TimG
studios. Please email me or sign the guestbook with any suggestions
you might have! Something that reflects a punk rock attitude
and the eclepticness of my mashups would be great. If I use
it I'll send you a TimG CDs and a DVD of my MTV mash boots!

Ok. Most of you know about the car accident. It was mental to
say the least but fortunately it looks like I should make a
full recovery. CD requesters please be patient. I'm nowhere
near 100% yet and trying to stay on top of things. If you haven't
got a CD in a months time then email me again with your details
and make the subject 'Free CD' so I can find it easily.
In
the meantime two new tracks are yet to be shown on MTV mash
so keep watching.
Thanks to everyone who has given me their support since
the accident. And thanks to the staff at Cheltenham hospital,
aswell as the Cheltenham fire brigade who cut me out of my car
and got me to the hospital in no time. If it wasn't for your
amazing skills and speedy response I probably wouldn't be alive. |

MTV Mash party in London at the weekend was much fun. Good to
meet a lot of other bootleggers and MTV folk in the flesh.
"Aloud in Mollys Chamber" seems to have dissapeared
from the German MTV chart. : ( ... thanks to people who voted
for me anyway.
Next week I should have one of the new boots I've been working
on finished... it involves 'Come Out and Play' by the Offspring...
that's all I'll say for now. Make sure you're signed up to the
mailout list to get it. |

Sorry
for the lack of updates.. I've been very busy recently... (Apologies
to people who've recently requested CD's and not got them..
have patience and they'll get there soon!)
... but my hard work has paid off as I can happily confirm I've
been commissioned by MTV MASH to produce two tracks. They contacted
me a while ago and the tracks are in their final stages. Can't
tell you what they are but hopefully you'll be able to see them
on the show soon!
The
boots that got away...
A new feature for the site.. comin' soon!
Gonna let site visitors hear 1 min previews of several tracks
MTV turned down and vote for the one they'd like to hear finished
the most.. I'll get the final thing up on the net and maybe
available to download from a place called culturedeluxe........

| |
24 October 03...
Ok
so I haven't added any new tracks.. I have got a new one finished...but...
a certain large television company contacted me this week,
concerning my bootlegs (!!!!!!!!! :D) so I'm keeping it off
the net until they get back to me... Nothing comfirmed yet
but I've got my fingers seriously crossed!

October 03...
HEEHEE! JAMMONE MOFO! Greenday vs Michael Jackson 'Jacko's
a Basket Case' was played on XFM tonight! Very pleased....
Not too many updates this last week due to full time job +
harijan gig on friday (which was well worth the hard work).
Should have more free time this week so look out for updates..
atleast one new boot should be finished some time during the
week + up with the other lo-fi streams. Bought a nice comfy
chair today.. means I can sit at my computer for longer without
getting a sore ass.
|
| |
8th October 03...
Couple of my new tracks up as lo-fi streams.
Planning to have a arsenal
of classic stuff done before december boomselection night! I
have 3 new'uns on the go at the moment which I promise will
be very special.. I just hope someone else doesn't discover
what the Darkness 'I believe in a thing called love' was meant
to be mixed with before I finish it! |
| |
7th October 03...
Remixes can now be heard through low-quality (48kbps) streams

21st September 03...
BPI issue
After some serious discussions over the web with people,
I've decided not to contact the BPI about the copyright infringement
issue. Although I still believe the situation is wrong and have
been approached in the wrong way (I'm not pirating audio), and
that the 'fair use' clause in copyright law should cover (or
atleast enable a comprise to be made) 'leggers and their mp3s.
Perhaps I have broken the law, but not in way stated in the
mail I got.. Anway, I've been advised (if that's the right word)
by many people not to take the matter further (for my own sake
and for the sake of the 'scene') and I'm not going to.
... Although I'm sure the issue will arise again in the near
future, I'm not going to be the person who gets stuck in the
quicksand ...
please keep visiting the site... cd's via email request.
XFM
'Don't stop the jungle boogie' was on XFM today!! and my
drunkeness at the Manchester boomselection night was mentioned!
woo!
|
| |
20th September
03...
Unfortunately, pressure from the BPI has forced me to take my
mixes offline. I hope this will only be a temporary situation.. see the bootleg page |
| |
19th September 03...
Good news..
woohoo! After the events of Tuesday's Boomselection night which
involved the Freelance Hellraiser playing a couple of my tracks,
I'm personally assured by James Hyman that some of my stuff
(don't know what) will be played on the XFM remix show this
Sunday!
London and NTL cable tv people tune in between 7 and 10pm (sorry
I can't be more accurate than that)
Bad news..
The BPI (British Phonographic Industry) aren't too happy with
my mixes (thought they'd atleast like J Lo vs Tenatious D!?).
Apparently I'm infringing copyright law and have to take down
my mix mp3's or be taken down!
(read the
email i got here)
So get them while you can if you haven't already. They'll be
down tommorrow evening.... until I find a way round this, looks
like the mix section will be pretty vacant.
Please keep visiting the site.. I'll still be updating it. Should
have some dj nights lined up in manchester soon and will be
getting my mixes out via free CD's. |
