His second album, The Lone Deranger , was released in 1997. [2] A third album consisting of Hallucinogen tracks remixed by the artist Ott, In Dub , was released in 2002.
He is also the founder of the label Twisted Records [3] and works in the electronic groups Younger Brother and Shpongle. [4] Younger Brother initially began as a side project of Posford and Benji Vaughan and represented a transition away from previous projects which emphasized a more synthesized style. [5] [6]
