I am firstly looking for a bass player or drummer who shares my love of certain sorts of grooves - dub, reggae, world rhythms that make people dance. I am a competent, improving and creative musician in these areas and am obsessed by rhythm. I am more experienced on bass but preferring drums at the moment (it would be nice to be able to swap round).
I have a job 4 days a week and a dog, but if I met the right musicians I'd consider giving up almost everything else.
It would be good to hear from any musicians in the area with the same tastes, including singers and MCs.

Influences
Faves include Creation Rebel, Dub Syndicate and much from the OnU-Sound label. My favourite new record is by El Michel's Affair. Also into funky post punk sounds like the Pop Group, The London Underground and Basement 5. As a bass player Jah Wobble was a big inspiration.
I like playing some Latin and African rhythms too.
