Biography:
A 20 something lad from Birmingham who fell in to the world of Bootleg by pure luck. He'd spent several years admiring from a far, the likes of Go Home Prouctions, Loo & Placido and Party Ben, when from out of nowhere he found himself with a PC for virtually free and a few pieces of software. The challenge to become a mash-up producer was on.

Starting off tentatively with a few tracks and a couple of attempts at full length mixes (running before he could walk), he has now found his feet and beg... (read more)

Why the hell did no-one tell me about the Leona Lewis acapella? Oh my god, the most exciting acapella I've ever grabbed. I've had it for 2 hours, I have 7 projects on the go, all of which will be released at some point. I'm in mash heaven...

Hehe...just finished making Radio Colatron and I am laughing my head off. You'll see what I mean if it ever makes release.

There is a rumour the true Voice of Colatron appears too...

Perish the thought...

Oh yeah - the tunes have been put aside for a week or two, whilst I start work on Radio Colatron....

Hi everyone - I'm aware that I haven't posted anything for a week or two. Don't panic - Colatron hasn't hung up his mashing gloves, there are a couple of new tracks in the pipeline, one of which is virtually ready. Just doing a couple of re-works after a bit of consultation from Bobby.

This new tune should be a summer classic, so please bear with me and it should be up online within a couple of days or three.

And hi to Kenneth! New fans are always welcome here on Colatron's fan page.

You all have a great Bank Holiday (if you're in the UK at least!) and watch this space.

Ciao for now,
Andy

Oh man I've struck gold on the new track I've just sequenced. It amazes me what you can come up with when you are trying to make tracks from lame puns. 3 pints and a glass of wine, and I've come up withe a simple A+B track that I LUUUUURVE, and takes me back to the old school in a pop way. Watch this space.

The irony is, I have a 2nd version of the same track that gets me just as excited...which one to release....to quote a great man, "I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure" :D

What floats your boat?
