Ikea. Sweden. Lockdown. Hmmm. No comment.
Don’t Blink – Gigamon
There is a voice over for this, and it does help the spot, especially as I always use a voice over like a singing vocal, but we’re here for the music, sorry Gigamon. A track called ‘The Industrial North’ – I’m thinking Manchester, UK, late 19th century, industrial revolution, factories, coal stacks, L.S Lowry, etc.
Ralph Lauren
“Doh Rei Me” again – a track by Rei and me. Rei on bass, me on drums and guitar and Doh, well, just because.
Maybelline
Maybelline. Vocals; mostly Victoria, but some raps from Marco and some Ooos from myself.
The Jon Lowe Beat Combo
Some dnb from Jon, mastered by me and already on a few Spotify playlists. Jon running things for us over there in Hong Kong.
Fox
A buncha tracks for Fox network.
Ralph Lauren
Some jazz for Ralph Lauren. 10 spots, all slightly different, musically, the same track.
Something for Dennys
An Oceans 11 Trap remix for Dennys
Some TV
‘NASA’, used extensively for the Fox coverage of the world cup. ‘Mackintire’, the first track on the Fatboy Slim episode of After the Raves, on Netflix. Opening shot, Brighton Beach, and funnily enough ‘Mackintire’ is all about The Kinks, The Who, Quadraphenia, and mods and rockers mecca; Brighton Beach. ‘All Day Dub’ used on ‘Social Fabric’ , Netflix. Chinese fella named Kyle that makes next level tv docs about Fashion. Just saw him today at The Grove.
A Ralph Lauren thing
Lots of different versions, all slightly different, but something special for my boy in the Riviera Coat: Hand claps. Funky hand claps for my boy with the style.
Dennys
New Bryston amp in the place. B5 ST THX. Bryston on the NS-10s and Bryston on the Auratone. THX, as in George Lucas. Dab.
More Facebook
Morphe Lipstick
New unestablished brand, so it was done dirt cheap and they got a lot for their money, including a great vocal stab/sample from my friend Alicia.
Queer Eye Ringtone
Currently No.2 in the itunes Ringtone charts and season just started.
Faceboooook
Facebook…. erm, no comment. Nice track though, and a short docu-vert put together by a good creative team. Our protagonist explains that he was depressed working a 9-5 in London and decided to give it all up and do 1000 mile journeys in and on odd modes of transport. Personally, I think, he should have just moved to a sunnier climate. However, it takes all sorts and good luck to him.
