Thanks for checkin out my page, but before I get into all the biog & track download stuff I thought I’d give you a quick rundown of my music career so far.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....... nah, well actually 1990 in Luton! I recorded Music Takes You. This was my first solo project signed to the legendary d&b label Moving Shadow. It all seemed to kick off for me from that very first track (its all a blur now) but somehow I’m still here today touring the world djing and doing my thing!
Around 1998 while touring & recording for Good Looking Records I started my own signature label 720 Degrees which i still run, and have since produced music for Metalheadz, Charge Recordings, Moving Shadow and in the last year the mighty Hospital Records. I also recently launched 'Blame Music', an imprint label aimed at getting back to the beats! It will allow me to focus on pushing a more diverse and experimental sound, while stripping down the layers and going back to what got me hooked on this music from day 1.
My brand new track 'Because Of You' (feat. Selah) is out now! We have had huge Radio support on this already. Zane Lowe dropped it as the 'Hottest Record In The World' in December 08, Sara Cox selected it as her 'Single Of The Week' in January 09 and it is now currently playlisted on daytime Radio 1 and 1 Xtra. Hope your feelin' it!
Anyway, thanks for reading, feel free to drop me a line or leave a comment... thanks for all the support!

BLAME BIOGRAPHY
Blame is one of the most creative producers on the drum & bass scene - an accolade hard won over years of consistently breaking musical boundaries in an attempt to bring true innovation to the music that he loves. It all began in 1990 when Blame started to create tracks that would be synonymous with the early hardcore scene. Music Takes You, a project for Moving Shadow, saw him break into the UK charts and become number one in the dance chart; many books charting the early days of dance music have since credited this tune as a seminal moment in what was to soon become drum & bass.
After experiencing such early chart success, Blame decided to focus on his musical direction, and received critical acclaim for tunes such as Planet Neptune, also released on Moving Shadow. In late 1996, he joined LTJ Bukems Good Looking Records, and it was here that he began to try out more new sounds, soon becoming one of the labels most important artists. Blame mixed the second in the famous Logical Progression series. He not only made waves with innovative, space-age tunes such as Visions Of Mars and Alpha:7, but he also became one of Good Lookings best DJs, touring the world with LTJ Bukem.
In 1997, Blame set up his own label – 720 Degrees and since then has used the label as a platform for ground breaking drum & bass. 1999 saw the release of Two Revolutions, a compilation album that showcased the labels increasingly dancefloor-orientated sound. It was a direction in which Blames own music was heading.
In the last few years Blame has had numerous successful releases on Metalheadz, Hospital Records and Mampi Swifts Charge Recordings. The anthemic Avalon and Hindsight both appeared on Hospital Records Weapons Of Mass Creation LPs, and the highly anticipated Solar Burn dropped on Charge Recordings. Blame also launched a brand new project simply named Blame Music, to focus on a cinematic, experimental and almost film soundtrack style sound. The first release Hiro caused a stir throughout the drum and bass club scene.
Fast forward to 2008, and Blame dropped Stay Forever, a beautiful blend of energetic breakbeats and soaring string sections that instantly caught the attention of Radio 1 DJs Zane Lowe, Pete Tong, Trevor Nelson, Colin Murray, Fabio, Rob Da Bank, Ras Kwame and Annie Mac. The Stay Forever vocal mix featuring Selah went straight into the BBC 1 Xtra daytime A playlist, and is still currently receiving heavy rotation.
The start to 2009 was incredible. Blame & Selah's follow up 'Because Of You' became Zane Lowe's 'hottest record in the word' and Sara Cox's 'single of the week'. It was also daytime playlisted on BBC Radio 1 and 1 Xtra, receiving huge dj support from across the board. Watch this space for the album!

Hey! Too long imo. That's why SOLK is fired up again. You did great in the mean time! Man, there was no limit on Blame in 2009. Success after success. You earn it. Respect from Holland and hopefully till soon.
absolutely wicked tunes you produced the last few month! keep going on :-) looking forward to the next. and next time we talk a little bit more old man. hehe
Safe Blame. Jus thought I'd pass thru to drop a comment seeing as I'm lisnin to ur METH066 Vinyl atm. Gotta love both The Search and Landspeed. Still ain't got round to checkin ur latest choons yet, should be able to soon as I get this job hunting ting over. L8rz
I went to buy your rmx of Everything and it wouldn't let me cause I'm in the States. So sad about that :( but I did get some of your other tunes so it worked out alright :)
“walked past the lake after work, yesterday...imagining an ocean my stage, full moon as a spot light, stars above are audience, and jumping fish as roses”
Just wanted one more time to say, that your set in Icon was admirable. For a long time i haven't heard so liquid sound. It was like a breath of fresh air. And thanks a lot for autograph. It was very nice of you)
