One thing I like about the digital age – is that when people *do* make the effort to buy music – the sales are packaged up with a huge amount of data: When & where & what file formats & with which other tunes from other labels were bought at the same time.

Thankfully my distributor (Beatport) makes all this available in real time and for me, this data is actually the reward for making the music, and the breakdown of where my stuff is being consumed is by far the intriguing. So sales volume by territory for my most recent single:

Australia

USA

France

Argentina

Spain

Japan
Hong Kong

Austria
Switzerland

Luxembourg

That's the 2010 world tour sorted out then :) ... Strangely missing are the UK and Germany, but I guess they have their own big local scenes and do not look so far afield for new music. I made no attempt to promote this record except on my blogs and did not try to get any press. Part laziness, part trying-to-get-above-the-background-noise requires more energy than I have to commit to music these days.

Just finishing the last few touches to the next single this week, keep an eye out for that!

Everyone's a f*cking rock-star?!

I create conceptual albums & sound design projects for artistic self-indulgence.

I produce overly complicated club music & remixes for DJs to play and people to dance to. My biggest buzz is watching a crowd go ape-shit over one of my tracks. DJs such as Sasha, James Lavelle, Lee Burridge, Laurent Garnier, Hyper, Carl Cox, Adam Freeland and many others have played my stuff. For that I am honored.

I mix, engineer, remix, re-engineer, tune, pitch, time, edit, tweak, massage, shunt, cut, paste, jam, hack, slash, destroy, re-build, EQ, compress, expand, de-ess, limit, reverb, delay, nudge, pickle, hate then forge lumps of major-label pop dirt into little commercial nuggets – for cold hard cash.

I built & own & oversee the running of bar Yumla, which has been the leading source of club music in China since 2003. In fact my studio is also the leading source of electronic & club music in China. Try proving me wrong on that.

Have over 40 vinyls 'out there' with my releases or remixes on them. And many more CDs, albums and DJ compilations have felt my ... presence. Google "disuye" ... that's one half of me. Google "beer" ... that's the other.
