  • Record Of Achievement 12" LP (SOLD OUT)
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    “Above and beyond all else; this is a record of achievement”
    Born in the thick of Hip Hop’s Golden Era in 1986 in Salford on the outskirts of Manchester, Dweller’s path to Hip Hop music was navigated via Rage Against the Machine and the Beastie Boys to his discovery of A Tribe Called Quest at the tender age of 13.
    After over a decade of creative experimentation, he started to form the roots of his career as an M.C and producer in 2006.
    Developing the identity, the flow and the character that we know today as Dweller has taken 14 years of honing his craft and these 14 years have not been without their ups and downs.
    After several difficult years wrestling with a stressful full-time job and juggling this with family life he made the courageous move to hand in his resignation in 2019; heading for life as a full time creative.
    In the months after leaving full time work the bulk of the writing, recording and mastering of this album was done and like cream, he rose to the top and delivered an outstanding piece of art that signifies what the M.C is capable of.
    Two years in the making, this is a record featuring 12 tracks, a record featuring 3 guest producers, 3 guest musicians and 2 guest M.C’s, a record that is the life and soul of Dweller in audio form but above and beyond all else; this is a record of achievement.

released February 20, 2020

Thank you to my wife Jen English aka The Queen of English for the constant support and belief, and to my daughter and step-daughter Alice & Aiva-May who reminded me each and every day what was most important.

To Jonny Capicola, Pro P & The Taskmastar for chucking some big beats my way.

Hats off to Lomax and Batfunk getting involved on the features, you should check out more of their stuff. Big up to Steven Nicholson-Wrigley for his vision for the artwork concept, to Alex for his photography skills. Thanks to ExP (DubWhy Studios, Leeds) for recording the bulk of the project and even chucking in some backing vocals here and there. Much love to to PIFF (White Bear Studios, Manchester), for doing a seriously authentic mix and master of the album using some good old analogue hardware. Much respect to Richard Rollinson, Neil Elston, David Taylor and SNW for being constant sounding boards for my ideas throughout this whole adventure.

Last but not least I want to send a massive thanks to my old boss (you know who you are) for creating the culture, environment and mind-set needed to enable this whole album to be written in the first place.
