CASE STUDY: Gordon Bruce
Since graduating from BEATS Gordon has has kept himself busy being 1/5 of Newcastle's Shift-Static who are known for their masterful blend of the electronic with the human - creating glitchy, unsettling sonic canvases - with their latest EP mixed and mastered by BEATS tutor Danny Linton.
Not satisfied with the one music project on the go Gordon is currently working on completing his Masters degree, working on remixes for Zebra and Snake and Blank Canvas AND DJing with the No Globe Club in his native Edinburgh - he's a busy lad!
