Daniel Ibbotson

Controlling his affinity for new-school deep home beats with an early on fixation for jazzy textures, indie-rock and Warp’s bleep techno, Daniel Ibbotson is really a producer-by-accident, a home-production aficionado who come up with a demo tape during 1995 while their studies at the Glasgow Classes of Arts for his photography degree. After sending it towards the electro label Crystal clear Information (whose buzzed-about réamounté included incarnations of µ-Ziq, Dark Pup and Global Conversation), the label released a number of the materials because the Souped-Up EP in August 1996. Plenty of materials was still left for a whole album, released in 1998 for the Clear spin-off Reel Discs. Ibbotson also remixed Friend & Doktor Kosmos, and made an appearance over the Compost collection Upcoming Audio of Jazz, Vol. 3; he came back in 1999 with Regularity and Phase.
