“The dates are coming in nicely and with our recent work with Benga we hope it will continue to grow.”

2012 has been a year of studio collaborations for Audio (Gareth Greenall to his folks), and the release of his third artist album, Soulmagnet out on Virus Recordings. Having embarked on a solo recording career with niche label, Tech Freak Recordings, which handled his debut album To The Edge of Reason, Audio says the switch to Virus in 2010 was a professional dream come true. “Freak Recordings gave me my first big releases as a solo artist, which I'll always appreciate, but time and people move on and my sound naturally evolved into something not so suited to that label,” he explains. “Also, Virus is my dream label, so it was a no-brainer to sign with them.”

Audio is part of bass outfit Pixel Fist, an offshoot of now defunct Resonant Evol, comprising Audio and Jason Bull (Mackie) hailing from Resonant Evol with the addition of Lorne and MC Stapleton. This year has seen the outfit touring with dubstep icon Benga along with the release of Pixel Fist's brutally cranking remix of Benga's originally quite mellow I Will Never Change. “The Pixel Fist project was a completely new idea but it does have myself and Mackie from Resonant Evil in it, along side our life long friend Lorne and Stapleton MC,” relays Audio. “The dates are coming in nicely and with our recent work with Benga we hope it will continue to grow.”

Audio will be playing the following dates:
