about

This album celebrates 5 years creating and releasing albums as the artist SAD MAN. In that time SAD MAN has released 18 full Albums and nearly 200 individual tracks.

This compilation is essentially part 2, following on from "3 Years of Being SAD" which featured tracks from the first 11 albums released under that name.

Here the last 7 albums are represented.

The Kings of Beasts (Feb 2020), indigenous Mix 3 (April 2020), Daddy Biscuits (June 2020), Demons (Jan 2021), Menilmontant (Jan 2021), The Man from S.A.D (April 2021) and SOS (Sound of Slow) (Aug 2021).

Across these 5 years I am lucky to have had my music played by many radio stations. These inlcude BBC Radio 6 Music – Tom Ravenscroft, BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, and BBC 6 Music - Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone, as well as featuring regularly on NTS Radio, Resonance FM, New New World Radio and Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, Hello Goodbye Show, New Ratio, Adventures in Sound and Music, Zobnoba Radio, Rinse Radio, Gated Canal Community, Sleeve Notes, Brum Radio, Fractal Meat on a Spongy Bone, The Moderns, Electrocurated, Artefaktor Radio, Colin’s Cuts, Dark Train, In the Moog, Tak Tent, Neon Hospice, Transmitter Down, Trust the Doc, Phantom Circuit, In Tune, Push the Button.

My music has been written about in various publications and blogs. DJ Magazine reviewed SAD MAN track ‘Bus Swerve’, 9/10 in its Leftfield music singles. SAD MAN has also regularly been written about in Electronic Sound Magazine, The Wire Magazine, and music blogs such as Monolith Cocktail, Lounder than War, Further Dot. I am eternally grateful for the great insights and words of these writers.

It's been quite a ride. Exhausting at times, frustrating and not without its sacrifices and disappointments. Although it hadn't been my plan to be so prolific, in reality the music just came. Often an antidote to the trials and tribulations of everyday life, creating music has been an escape for me. A chance to feel more than just another cog in the wheel of the world. To try and escape the inevitably of the passing of time and to express myself and my passions for music and creating that has always been there from the very start.

I began SAD MAN as a reaction to a sudden event in my life, and it continues to give me a focus and hope. It is only now looking back on all this music now that I realise quite how important music has, and is to me, and for that I am very grateful.

I thanks everyone who has supported me and my work over the past 5 years. In don't know what will come next, but that I guess is the beauty of it all.

When you sit and listen to the subtlety of the humming drones, the beauty reveals itself to you. It induces a psychological phenomenon where time slows down. It’s quite a stunning experience. Mr. Conner
