Naive Ted is a founding member of international skratch DJ collective Community Skratch and of groups Vince Mack Mahon, Flying Buttresses & Grandeurs of Delusion.

He has been releasing music since 2007, notable releases include “Send in the Hounds” (“the most important Irish electronica/dance record ever”, Homoludo) and “The Inevitable Heel Turn” (Album of the week, Irish Times)  Ted’s recent live shows have garnered much praise (and, in fairness, some bemusement, it’s not for everyone), a wonky hybrid of turntablism skills, good ol’ fashioned quickmix DJing (a la mid-late 90s Mills/Clarke/Young et al) fronted with a hefty dose of personality and somewhat unnerving dancing. It’s pretty hard to do it justice on film but this clip from Open Ear festival last summer did the rounds and people seemed to dig it so there ya go (“the highlight of Open Ear festival”, Kenny Hanlon on Nialler9).

Ted has remixed/produced/collaborated with Jinx Lennon, Bleeding Heart Pigeons, Irish Chamber Orchestra, Hazey Haze, Percolator, windings, Post-Punk Podge, Morning Veils, Citrus Fresh, King Pallas, God Knows, SertOne, Murli, Lankum, Same D4ence, Outsider YP, Working Class Records, NanuNanu, Ceara Conway and more.
