BIOGRAPHY

The Third Man is a music producer from london, into a broad range of music with a range of influences from Techno and Electro to downbeat electronica, funk, soul and more. I produce in a home studio using Ableton Live, a Korg Electribe MX-1and various Vsts as well as a home made midi-controller built using the Midibox protocol. My first release is out on vinyl this March and I have a slew of tracks that I am hoping to get out there one way or another.

Ai Press Release:

"Although The Third Man (Toby Leeming, 26) is a born and bred Londoner, his musical roots lie in Scotland where he lived for 4 years whilst studying at University. During this time he met dj’s, producers and promoters and not happy just watching others ply their trade he started to teach himself how to dj. On borrowing a friends laptop with a copy of Reason on he began to explore the capabilities of music programming and digital sounds.

Surrounded by regular techno nights featuring the likes of Stephen Brown, Neil Landstrumm, DJ Rolando and many more his taste was very much slanted towards all things techno and particularly the classic Detroit sounds. However after many all night trips to the Arches, it became apparent that north of the border people liked their music that little bit harder and this was something toby couldn’t resist embracing taking to the more industrial sounds of Surgeon, Monolake and minimalist legends such as Robert Hood and Jeff Mills.

The Third Man has a live performance using Ableton, a Korg EMX-1, a home made midi controller mixing desk and live keys – for bookings contact bookings@thethirdmanmusic.co.uk."
