    Signature Sounds

    The Signature Series is a collection of commercial sound design products developed in collaboration with Glitchedtones, spanning multiple genres and formats including Bass House Serum 2, Bass House Sample Pack, Tech House Serum 2 and Minimal House Sample Pack.

    My role extended far beyond creating individual sounds. I was responsible for leading the creative direction of each product, ensuring every preset, sample and asset aligned with a clear artistic vision while remaining commercially relevant and immediately usable for producers.

    The development process began with extensive research into each genre, analysing current trends, production techniques and the sonic characteristics that define professional releases. From there, I designed and refined original presets, drum samples, loops, one-shots and production assets, drawing upon years of experience as a producer, DJ and sound designer to create tools that were both technically robust and creatively inspiring.

    Alongside the sound design itself, I managed quality control, file organisation, product structure and final preparation for commercial release. This involved detailed editing, mixing, gain staging, sample preparation and ensuring consistency across hundreds of individual assets to deliver a professional user experience from the moment the product was downloaded.

    Beyond audio production, I also led the content and marketing strategy surrounding each release. This included planning launch campaigns, producing promotional content, developing visual assets and creating social media materials designed to communicate the identity of each product while reaching both existing and new audiences. By combining technical sound design expertise with an understanding of branding, content creation and audience engagement, I was able to help position each release as more than just a sample pack or preset bank, but as a complete creative product.

    The project drew upon a broad range of skills developed throughout my career, including sound design, audio engineering, music production, critical listening, project management, creative direction, branding, content creation and digital marketing. The result was a series of commercially successful products that have been distributed internationally and used by producers across multiple electronic music genres.

    This work represents my ability to take an idea from initial concept through to final delivery, combining technical audio expertise with creative strategy, product development and audience-focused thinking to create professional tools for modern music producers.

    REALITY — Concept EP (OZØNE RCRDS)

    REALITY is a 7-track, story-driven electronic EP written, produced, mixed and released independently as my ADE project. The record explores the relationship between humanity and AI, unfolding as a cinematic narrative across bass house, melodic techno, techno and drum & bass influences.

    Each track represents a chapter in the story, designed to function both as standalone club records and as part of a wider conceptual experience. The project intentionally blends high-impact sound design with emotional pacing, focusing on tension, melody and atmosphere rather than traditional drop-led structures.

    A key part of the process involved collaborating with AI as a storytelling tool — using it selectively as the “voice of the machine” while keeping human emotion and instinct at the core of the music. The result is a project that feels forward-thinking but grounded, built for both mainstage moments and immersive listening.

    Released on my own label, OZØNE RCRDS, REALITY has received support from BBC Introducing, Tomorrowland One World Radio and Laidback Luke, and was written and finished entirely in North Shields.
