How techstep got its shape
The 1995 to 1998 stretch, read through the records, the rooms and the machines that made them.
In writing
Features and oral histories, reported against the archive rather than around it. Every piece links back to the records, rooms and objects it describes.
Commissioned
Sunday at the Blue Note
An oral history of a small Hoxton room, assembled from the people who were in it. Interviews in progress.
The samplers that built it
Time-stretch, truncation and 8 seconds of memory. What the hardware would and would not let you do.

- Also record shop staff, photographers, designers, club staff and ravers.
