he released a couple of wicked tunes over on dubstepxculsive.com when it first started, cant remember the names, (one day i will be less crap at remembering) but they were sick!
I think he stop being active as he felt no one liked his tunes. Thats the how i interpreted his response when i asked him about doing a guest mix for my show. this was at least 18months 2 years ago.
edit - one of the tunes was called night shift.! bad!!!

Ya I was listening to Canton the other night and just feeling like it was still so fresh. Damn sick bassline, cool arrangement. Very evocative too, without being sappy.
Big up Mr Shonx where ever ye be

Aw you guys
Just got a bit bored of slight variations on a theme being considered anything radical or new, gradually got bored of electronic music and bought some geetars which I get to pick on when I'm not busy figuring out synaptic transmissions and swathes of statistics for my degree. I find guitar a lot more immediate than electronic music which seems to involve huge amounts of forgetting what I was doing originally, deleting sections and then finding myself looking back at an 8 bar loop not much different from where I started. Plus I find it incredibly boring without weed which seems to be a dual-edged sword because then the old short-term memory makes it far more difficult to remember what I was doing. Did try some music the other day and did get a rather awesome groove going if I can pad it out into a song given time and inclination (which I don't have much of either at the moment).
Had a PC crash the other week and so lost most of my files and tunes (most of which were still in a "to finish" state) but luckily I uploaded some to divshare which you are more than welcome to.
Production might be a little muddy but it's like my sig innit
Anyway enjoy or delete as you deem appropriate. Cheers for the support through the years, gawd bless y'all *sniffs*

Found this link yesterday and after wrestling with divshare to get all the tunes, made a .zip of everything and uploaded to MediaFire. Hope that's ok Shonky, am having a fine time listening to them.
These are great, big up Shonx
