about

"One of those super hardworking, super talented people. Just puts music out and just gets on with it." Gilles Peterson

"More brilliant music from Scrimshire" Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2

"As a producer, he excels at creating albums packed with soulful guest stars and fresh takes on the genre." The Guardian

"One of the best producers in the UK" Smoove & Turrell

“One of today’s most forward thinking producers” Beat Caffeine

“It’s at this point that you realise the significance of Scrimshire’s ‘Paroxysm’…here we have an update, an extension of Sarathy Korwar’s ‘More Arriving’ or Kae Tempest’s ‘Let Them Eat Chaos’.” Backseat Mafia

"Everything in the right place at the right time. Sonically, it is his biggest album; the sound is big, the messages even bigger." Louder Than War


Paroxysm: any sudden, uncontrollable outburst; a fit of emotion or action:
paroxysms of rage;
a paroxysm of laughter;
The war unleashed a paroxysm of violence.

In the last few weeks of October 2022, Scrimshire wrote a new collection of songs with the descriptive working title "Scream". A direct response to the absurdity of the breakdown in the UK government, the horror of the treatment of refugees arriving on our shores and the callous disregard for the trauma being caused to low income people or anyone considered "other". While self-preserving Conservative MPs fought for their jobs, record profits were announced by energy companies as crippling amounts of money were gouged from people's pockets. The anger, sadness, mourning, and frustration was poured into these recordings.
