This Monkey

This monkey's gone to heaven surrounded by magical pixies in a gold-trimmed sequinned elevator, wearing bell-bottomed disco pants and dreaming of good times to come.

The track came about in 2020 when I was experimenting with playing live while the world was in total lockdown. I dusted down an old APC40 controller and set to work assembling a vast array of samples, stems, acapellas and tracks from my own DJ library. I added in a couple of MIDI keyboards so I could add live overdubs, and created a template in Ableton that effectively allowed me to play live using 16 channels of audio! I also created some custom effects chains, and my first 'live' shows were born. Enjoy!!
