AUDIOGLIDER has been writing recording, and honing his craft for years. A teenager in the eighties, with dodgy haircuts to match, he saw Kraftwerk supported by the Human League, and straightaway fell in love with electronic music. During the 90’s he released tracks under a series of strange and possibly ill advised pseudonyms (such as Crystal, Backdoor Man, Autovelox & Pastaboy), before finally settling on the ethereal ‘Audioglider’ as a perfect name to encapsulate the essence of the music.
AUDIOGLIDER’s first break came with two exclusive tracks on Nick Warren’s GU30 Paris, to much critical acclaim, quickly followed by two EPs, 'Halcyon' and 'Slight Return', and remixes on Glenn Morrison’s digital label Morrison Recordings. More experimental output has been released on acclaimed German netlabel group FOEM with the EPs 'Sunspots' and 'Circadian Express'. An AUDIOGLIDER reworking of Introspective Directive’s ‘Nightfall’ was released on iLabel’s The Chillout Lounge Vol 3 in mid 2009, compiled by Chill Maestro and ex Fragile State stalwart Ben Mynott who has been caning AUDIOGLIDER tunes on his regular Fluidnation Radio shows on Chill Radio and Fire FM, as well as at the Big Chill.
Audioglider is a master of 80's inspired downtempo, weaving a shoegazing sensibility together with a funk and dub based rhythm section that’s not afraid to utilize some of the more interesting structures found in more club based music. He cites influences ranging from Ulrich Schnauss and Massive Attack to Tori Amos and Talking Heads and you can hear shades of all of these in his music. His latest recordings are a fantastical blend of sounds – fans of John Metcalf, John Hendicott, Brian Eno and Tom Middleton’s Lifetracks will not be disappointed. |
