"I want to make music that will lift people right out of their skins" says Satellite Dub AKA Craig Brown, "and the music that I'm making right now is capable of doing it."

The past few years saw a drastic change in direction for the former guitarist. He immersed himself deep into the world of synths, samplers and music software. Learning how to use and abuse the cutting edge technology available to musicians today took some time but some of the results have been nothing short of startling. Layers of synths , beats and soundscapes evolve and mutate as you listen. On some tracks all the instruments seem to merge to become one incredible sound but the balance between noise and melody is always kept firmly under control.

Influences include established acts such as Primal Scream , My Bloody Valentine , Death In Vegas, Autechre and DJ Shadow as well as more obscure styles of music like Krautrock, Psychedelia and the work of Avant Garde composers. All these sounds and techniques combine to create something that is at once familiar to the listener but also highly original at the same time.

Highlights so far : Repeated airplay from DJs Rob Da Bank, Vic Galloway, Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens & Jim Gellatly. Recorded live session for Radio Magnetic. Showcased at industry events including Go North, T-Break & Musicworks. Supported high profile acts such as Calvin Harris, Max Sedgley & Future Engineers. Filmed by BBC Scotland performing for The Music Show.

"I feel like things are just getting going." says Craig. "I'm just finding my sound. Taking my first steps. It's going to be a long and crazy ride and personally I can't wait."
