Biography of Espion
Espion is based in Glasgow and has been producing a variety of styles of electronica since 1994. He is skilled on many instruments and has studied music for a number of years.
Stephen Arnold, originally from Inverness, set up live electronic music events in Glasgow and Edinburgh from 2000, plus held residencies in many other clubs such as 'Super Scientists', 'Pogo Vogue', 'The Institute for Electronic Artists' and the illustrious techno night, 'Dogma' in Edinburgh's Studio 24. In 2002 he launched Hyperoctave to promote the scene.
Signed to Orson Records in 2004, he soon released his debut ep 'Battlestations', featuring the tracks 'Nitrosamines', 'Gamma Livestock', 'Battlestations' and 'Battlestations (orchestral)', a layered, epic record with dark and aggressive beats. Later, in 2005, saw remixes released on Tyrant, Electrix, Exceptional and Soma Records.
His second ep is due for release in the next few months, which will be another cross genre venture. Heavily influenced by artists from labels such as Warp Records, Clone, Itiswhatitis, Ghostly and Underground Resistance, plus film soundtracks, jazz and other music styles, Espion's work - dancefloor orientated or other - cannot be easily defined. From epic, melodic electronica, to electro, breakbeat, techno and drum 'n bass, he is torn between genres.
