Hi and welcome to 2010. Mental innit? I'm in an introspective kind of mood at the moment as I look back on 10 years of releasing music under this name. Whilst the industry has changed beyond recognition, so has my attitude towards making music and I've come full circle in a way to realise what's ultimately important.

We'll be making an announcement soon about this year's activities. If all goes well, we'll have 3 records out this year - a mixture of old material and something brand new. Live dates will be sparse, but we're expecting a decent London date in the spring and hopefully something further afield as well. Quality will be the watchword. here's a couple of other bits and pieces:

Josh from Posthuman who works with me on many of the Digitonal tracks has launched a new record label, Balkan Vinyl. This is a first class, subscription based series of very limited edition, vinyl only releases, involving some utterly top notch techno, acid and electro talent, including Mark Archer, Global Goon, Plaid, B12, Ardisson, Cursor Miner, Echaskech and many, many more. I have contributed a track, Volvo, which I can safely say is unlike anything you've heard Digitonal do before - a dark, broody, very abstract acid tune. You can preview and purchase at the Balkan site - there is not a duff tune in the series.

The chaps at the fabulous r.fm just mailed me to tell me that they had posted our classic set from the Norberg Festival in 2005 up to stream. This was pretty much the genesis of the last album and it's interesting to hear it so raw and unproduced as Callum and I improvised around it. Hope you enjoy it.
