HENCE THEREFORE

spontaneous electronic music, sydney//london

[hencetherefore]

I’ve failed to keep this blog updated over the last year or so - hell, I barely post anything on instagram anymore either. I’m retiring my tumblr - it will no longer be kept updated. But I’ll leave it up as a little archive of what I was doing over the years that Hence Therefore slowly morphed from a lo-fi experimental pop project into (mostly) a club music production & deejaying alias.

If you want to keep up with what I’m doing:

jo nee made a video for my new single VILE OFFSPRING

[hencetherefore]

[hencetherefore]

Look this is more an archive blog than one that promotes upcoming stuff so I’m fine with posting about a show that has already happened. This was such a beautiful weekend! It also marked my first actual peak time DJ set - it’s only been radio and ambient/warmup sets up until now m8s! Pleased to get such an amazing opportunity :)

[hencetherefore]

hence therefore LIVE in the Balamii Radio studio in Peckham, South London, for Ears Have Eyes, 30th March 2019.

I step up at about the 25 minute mark

[hencetherefore]

Conversely, for my first guest mix of 2019 I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and mix at slower tempos than usual - in the 100-115 zone. This actually gave me heaps more opportunities than I expected to expose my love of pop and to try out some outrageous blends. There’s also unreleased tunes from JQ, Atro and me. Enjoy!

[hencetherefore]

NOTE: now archived at https://www.mixcloud.com/hencetherefore/guest-mix-for-secret-self-seance-radio-december-2018/

Final Hence T guest mix of 2018 was for Simon Heartfield’s Secret Self show on Seance Radio. I met Simon at R.O.S.H.’s first London show, a party thrown by Negative Space [Ma] at my N16 local, the Waiting Room, so it felt only right to make R.O.S.H.’s majestic Will I Make The Turn? the emotional peak of this mix.

As ever, this set contains new & unreleased tracks from me. Plus rhythmic excellence supplied by DJ Logic, JV & Palf, aircode & heaps more...

[hencetherefore]

*very* late posting this to tumblr, but: I remixed Loraine James’s sparkling +44 (alongside BFTT, Drvg Cvltvre and others). Made a concerted play for peak time dance floors with this one, so let me know how it goes if you play it out.

Arban D. - Nahual Rhythms (snippets)

Little Beat Different deliver another album-length release on digital and a limited edition of cassette tapes. This time, it's a young hardworking Italian Davide, found in the deepest abysses of Soun

My next outing is on another Little Beat Different release - I contributed a remix for this album by Padua’s sweetheart of deepness, Arban D.

I finished this remix faster than I’ve finished anything (other than straight-up live recordings). The whole record is gorgeous, highly recommended for anyone who enjoyed the DJ Python and DJ Lilocox records from the last couple of years.

[hencetherefore]

I’m supporting the brilliant HIRO KONE from New York City when she plays in Tottenham in a couple of weeks. London pals come down!

object blue with Hence Therefore - 2nd October 2018

Listen to object blue with Hence Therefore - 2nd October 2018 by Rinse FM #np on #SoundCloud

I had the pleasure of joining my buddy object blue in the Rinse studio earlier this week for her always-excellent show. I brought in all my machines and played a live improv set (starts about 1:02:00), then we had a bit of a chat on air and a lil b2b.

This was so much fun and I’m really happy with how the live set turned out - much love to blue as always for her support and friendship.

"quiver", by Shoeb Ahmad

11 track album

Canberra’s national treasure, Shoeb Ahmad, asked me to remix her song “pinpointed” for the special edition of her new album which is out NOW.

Doing this remix took me back to my early-2000s roots both in terms of listening deeply to tense, quiet indie rock albums and also in terms of thinking about how those sounds and feelings could be enmeshed in electronic music, often of a sorta IDM variety. e.g. Halogen’s Building On The Edge Of The Sky remix album from 2004 was probably my first real encounter with electronic music.

Shoeb is involved in Spartak, Tangents, hellosQuare recordings and all sorts of other very good things so you know this will be good.
