Two blogs in one day? Madness! Thankfully, this one's as sweet as it is short. Although I've not had much opportunity to write on here lately, I haven't completely given up on the art of stringing sentences together. Every weekend for the last few months I've been swapping my dull life in Aberdeen for a more exotic one in Edinburgh, like a heterosexual businessman who transforms into a Thai ladyboy come Saturday nite. Instead of willies however, I've been playing with synths, and gargling rum in place of cum. Amidst all the carnage in Auld Reekie, I've struck up a prolific (non-gay - or at least non-consummated) partnership with Stuart Jackson. Together we form Zambian Astronaut, the finest - and indeed only - synth-hop duo the world has ever seen.

Hailing from the darkest recesses of Edinburgh City, ZA feature yours truly on lyrical and song-arranging duty, with my partner-in-crime Stuart taking care of all the production.

The two of us have been fortunate to meet some awesome artists who've collaborated on our debut EP, including Edinburgh rapper Werd and Norwegian vocalist Asa Seljestad.

If you're intrigued as to what Scottish hip-hop could possibly sound like, check out The Legacy below. If you'd prefer something a little more seductive, Butterflies is worth a listen. The latter, as well as Run These Streets, feature wordage penned - but thankfully not song - by me.

Hope you enjoy the first instalment of ZA.
