Adolescent (Lost Dat)


I used to release and perform under the moniker of OSCAR
…. and I can’t remember why!

This Digital Audio Tape (DAT) has sat untouched and unplayed since 1998. No one owns a DAT player no more, but I recently found a company to make the audio transfer for me. Over 20 years ago, I used to write tunes on an Amiga 1200, using a lovely obsolete piece of software called Music-X. 8-bit samples and restricted to only 4 stereo sounds at time, I really had to push it to get anywhere near sounds I wanted. I have gently remastered the tunes, resisted the urge to do any re-writing or editing, so these are proper oldskool tracker beats. Many played out live!

I used to pack my kit into a box and ‘gig’ ; an Amiga, a tiny CRT monitor, SPX Mixer, Midi Keyboard and Digitech Delay pedal…. I had no way to mix between tracks, so the delay pedal was essential for capturing loop and manipulating it while the next tune loaded. At my 1st live session at the ‘Oldskool’ at the Music Factory, a lass kindly asked if I could speed it up? I smiled and nodded, and looked like I changed something…. but I couldn’t… if I changed tempo the loops would go out of time, or out of tune, or both….!!

I continued to write for the dancefloor, drowning in the virgining Drum ‘n’ Bass scene in Sheffield, but always loved the slower tempo too. I promoted my music in different routes, live sessions at the NY Sushi and The Leadmill, mixes for Hallam FM and Student Uni Radio stations. A track got played on by Radio 1 by Paul Oakenfold, a tune appeared on a Red Tape Studio local talent charity CD. In 1998 Wildstylz Records offered to release the tune “Adolescent” as a single…

about

A͇͚͓U͔̺̝D̝͎͔U͔̺̝S͎̪ Sheffield, UK

Music has always been in my life, playing guitar in the school music room to headlining the Leadmill. To solo sets at some of the biggest clubs in the ’90s.

I maintain my creative sanity by composing in my back-room studio, collaborating and remixing.

With age and a little arrogance, its time to share my music with a wider audience, instead of my long-suffering friends.
