Simon's synth obsession started at 13, saving paper round money for a year to buy a Korg 700S synthesiser. By the '80s he was a prominent figure in Coventry's goth scene — his band Transient had an EP played several times on the John Peel Show. In the early '90s he produced iconic flyer artwork for the Eclipse (the first UK club licensed until 8am), still coveted by collectors today, and was one of the first VJs, creating visuals at raves for crowds of 8,000+. A 30-year career in video games followed, working on some major commercial hits. Living in Berlin from 2021–23 reignited his passion for writing music and Spryt Electra was born — with every live show entirely DAWless and unique. Drawing from '80s icons like Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Japan and Vince Clarke alongside contemporary artists like Ladytron and TribalNeed, the project balances nostalgic warmth with driving, club-ready energy. He is also co-founder of Thames Valley EMOM, supporting grassroots electronic music artists across Oxfordshire and Berkshire. Live performance has become central to the Spryt Electra experience, with sets shared on all social platforms. A debut album is currently in progress, scheduled for release in late 2026.
