Writes words about music AuDHD My first book 'Long Relationships: My Incredible Journey From Unknown DJ to Smalltime DJ' is out now
In the early 2000s DJ Mag used to devote an entire section of their reviews to Tech House & because I’m the kind of person that I am I’ve got all the print reviews of my tunes from back then; this is the DJ Mag review of my 2003 Aretha’s Reign EP which is getting a limited vinyl repress this summer
So very proud of my city again, yesterday we outnumbered the fash by 1000s, turned them back wherever they tried their bullshit, faced them down every time, and they managed to march about fifty metres in six hours Love Will Save The Day
I was lucky enough to be invited to @toolroomrecords.bsky.social @toolroom.bsky.social headquarters the other week to appear on the Toolroom Academy Artist Breakthrough Podcast.

Harold's-Festive-Albums-Giga-Thread! Another year of listening to lots of new music & trying to decide if I like it enough to write about it, although 2025 was different in that reviewers are now required to establish if the music we’re listening to is machine-generated, which has been great, obvs.

"A 15 track comp of Balearic music, that most elastic of genres which in this case includes tropicalia, city pop, UK techno, electronica, soundtracks, deep house & IDM, mostly for listening rather than the club but with moments of dancefloor action too." 5mag.us/latorre5
