For Keith. I don’t know why Keith took his own life but I know how lonely and difficult being in our business can be. My love and thoughts are with Keith’s family and of course Liam and the band.

Just heard the very sad news that Terry Hall has died. Such an amazing singer. He Sang about real people and real issues. People I could identify with. Such a loss. A brave guy.

Making Leftism was a joyous experience. It wasn’t easy. It pushed us both to the limit but represented me and a Paul in a magic space. Together in our own creative world. And I’m forever touched and moved that so many share that space with us. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Melt was built from a selection of samples from 1980’s influenced jazz and ambient records reflecting our obsession to make Leftism a journey that defied contemporary views of what a dance album should sound like .#TimsTwitterListeningParty.

Open up released in 1993. We didn’t change it for the album. Below the NME cover. They cropped me and Paul out of the pic to put on the cover. The demo was done in 1990 but it took 3 years to get John into the studio to do it. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

And apparently low royalties are my fault because I should be pumping out 10 albums a year. I’m old fashioned apparently because it isn’t about quality of music just quantity. Mind you I am hopelessly slow. So not a good example. @Spotify.

Black Flute pure techno. And a chance to put congas into a new environment. We saw Techno as the new punk. We were listening to records like @DJJeffMills Drums Of Thunder. Adz Engineering on this one too. The first of two bangers in a row. #TimsTwitterListeningParty.

Storm 3000. Back to breakbeats. But twisting it up with our beloved chroma Polaris keyboard making the weird almost jazz feel that the track has. An Electric storm across the universe. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Original, Stange coincidence- Toni on an earlier Curve track had sung “ call me Leftfield” and I did a few years later. bleeps on intro nicked by BBC and used on news music. Lol Bastards #TimsTwitterListeningParty.

Danny Red laughingly said that we ignored his song and just used his microphone check. “ check one “ true. We nearly lost this track as there was a power cut in the studio and we had to remake it at 8am in the morning #TimsTwitterListeningParty.

I absolutely always adored Brighter Days And this vibe of Theo Parrish playing it slowed down is special. And really fits in to how I’m feeling.
Theo Parrish. The underground trance mix of Brighter Days. On vinyl. With record skips n all. HOUSE is a feeling ✊🏼

It’s always such a massive pleasure to see all those happy faces out on the dance floor. Doesn’t matter how many people are out there. It’s that moment when you feel united and one family all together, sharing a unique moment of escapement in a tough world.

So sad to hear of the passing Of the great Jah Shaka. In the 80’s we used to go and hear his system. He was never on before 3am. Massive sound unbelievable music. A big influence on me. those nights. it’s when I realised how immersive music needed to be to work. Loud!

I am reminded that many countries do not have a national health system. It’s easy to take it for granted. We have to fight to maintain it and this Govt that has run it down. I’d like to say thank you for the many occasions I have had to use it. Happy birthday.
