My most recent release is a six-track mini-album of music under my Force Majeure musical alias. This project presents the more experimental, visceral and deeper side of what I listen to and create. I hope you will enjoy it - it’s out now on the brilliant Concrete Collage label.
You can keep up-to-date with all things Force Majeure via this Linktree page.
Music in this video from Force Majeure track ’Slices Along the Coronal Plane':
I put together this DJ mix as a promo for the new LP, it features a few Force Majeure tracks alongside some inspirational music and stuff I generally enjoy listening to away from the dancefloor:
Listen to the Ronin liveset recorded live at the live event called Bang Face Weekender 2022:
Ronin has a four-track EP of revamped rave tracks from the archive for IRD Recordings that spans some tek-related drum'n'bass, a touch of breakcore and a hardcore stomper:
The second EP on my own Ronin Audio label on Bandcamp is now out. The three original tracks and a remix by Obese cover hard drum&bass, hip-hop influenced d&b and breakcore. You can listen below or can throw some cashish into the pot if you want to buy the tracks!

Check out the rest of that album here.
I'm working on making a full EP for dark/experimental side-project Force Majeure, but for now you will have to make do with this scathing remix for the amazing Scald Process:
I've decided to release some gnarly Ronin tracks via a self-published imprint over on Bandcamp and other major retailers. The first one features a double-header of heavy-duty tunes with strains of d&b, hardcore techno, breakcore and hip-hop!
Preview it via Soundcloud:
Or Spotify:
The latest Obese release Shiver me Timbres is out on Off Me Nut Records! Four electro/breaks/bass tracks by me plus remixes from Gurl Power and Decent Damage, check them out here or head over to Bandcamp to buy.
In something of a first for me – I've got a release out with Das Booty that features all three of my main dance music aliases! The original version of Das Booty Trax was by Obese, and this gets taken up a gear by Ronin and down a notch by Villain. Available over on Bandcamp.
The first recorded and released track from Force Majeure – Open Wounds on Terra Firma – made the light of day via a massive compilation of noisy tunes on Katharsis!
Both Ronin and Obese did remixes for the 2nd Killdren remix album. Check out the full replete of 16 awesome speaker-munching remixes for this rave-punk project!
Ronin smashed out this dubby darkcore jungle remix for the latest EP from excellent band Smiley & the Underclass:
Here's a breakcore Ronin remix of the track River of Shit and Fire from rave-punk duo Petrol Bastard:
Obese also made an appearance on the massive Hyper Reality bass music compilation for London party-starters Das Booty:
Here is an early audio-visual experiment for my newly-formed Force Majeure project that I recorded for Plugged. It's mostly still just effecting a camera input for now, and will require some investment to be able to take it much further:

I've got a breakcore-meets-bassline track on the massive 36-track compilation for Suck Puck Recordz – Fuk the Borders Vol.4:
Until I record a new Obese liveset you can check out a load of recent tracks in this set I streamed for Das Booty's Lockdown Radio show:
After some time without a release from the harder/faster side of my music – a whole three came along at once in late 2019. All of them are markedly different from each other and sit well with the output of their respective digital labels. Have yourself a listen, share the link and if you want a decent quality download – throw a few quid in the bucket too!
Broken Core Collective – Bandcamp page
Here is some fresh full-phat naughtiness from Obese:
I've been ploughing a lot of energy into rave-punk act Killdren. Here are a couple of my own remixes of the music made for the band (both from this excellent remix EP:
I've got a new track out on Destroy Oh Boy that was described as 'aggressive, footwork meets breakcore futurism' (I'd agree). Be sure to check out the rest of this free EP:
Check my (absolutely filthy) track on FUK008 (made like it was 2001 or something!), or

A full EP on Jigsore Digital: Ronin – Cut to the Quick EP. Four different audio attack formations with slick sound design, high-blood pressure sequencing and a distinct lack of yawn-worthy cheese. I've also got a Ronin track on this Jigsore EP.
The Ears to the Future digital music label, specialising in boundary-pushing futuristic tracks has launched with an excellent four track EP featuring Lokom, Amousement and my more techy alias Villain.
I have done a condensed showreel of most of my output from 2013 - Spring 2014
This is the harder edge of a liveset from the Ronin alias, recorded early 2019:
Below is a rare liveset recording from my technoid alter-ego Villain with a liveset recorded at our Crux audio-visual events in London. It fuses together my two liveset approaches – remix sets or full improvisation. This has a bit of both but with all of the drum sequencing, synth tweaking, mixing, FX and arrangement is done on the spot via Lemur app on iPad, Ableton Push, M-Audio X-Session, Korg Nanopad. Click through for full geeky explanation.
I'm still proud of the Obese liveset constructed and recorded during summer 2014 – go through to the track on Soundcloud to listen and download.
You can find a recording of the improvised liveset duo I did with SP23's Crystal Distortion at Boomtown 2015 here.
I've been a bit slack on the visuals front, but here was the last AV set I made:
Villain techno AV set.
On the electronic-music tip check out my own Mixcloud page for stuff like the Do Not Rust electro-bass mix, the Stink Cloud drum & bass mix or the Digging Your Own Grave hardcore/breakcore mix.
I did a few of the DJ mixes for the Music Day campaign in a very different vein to what I'm usually pumping out – you can check them out at the Music Day Mixcloud page.
A slice of dark ambient / broken noise and hip-hop ultra-violence can be found in my Defy Definition mix for the Jigsore Now This Ain't Rave mix series.
