Wow I'm also surprised there was no thread dedicated to him.

Neither, IMO. He incorporates too many styles into his music to be considered DnB, and electronica is a sub-genre typically used in reference to the mainstream electronic acts that came about in the 90s (and the title of this forum bothers me for that reason - it's not a general term) like Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method, The Orb, Basement Jaxx, etc., which is definitely not his style. To me he's just one of those artists I simply call "electronic" because he's hard to pigeonhole.
Anyway...I had been aware of him since the very early 00s and picked up an album or two around 2003. However I didn't get into them that much at the time. I did like them but was also getting into a lot of rock at the time so I kind of set them aside after a couple of listens. It wasn't until he released
Foley Room two years ago that I really started paying attention. This one was quite different from the others and really intrigued me. Since then I've gone back to listen to his older ones and really enjoyed them. He's playing here August 7th and I'm thinking of going.
