“THE COLONEL” is a bizarre robot weapon invented at the end of World War II – designed to shake the Nazis out of their bunkers with lethal doses of bowel-shattering bass. Set free after the war, he ran amok frightening civilians, and his basslines just got angrier and angrier….

Ok, actually the Colonel is me, Lucian O’Neill, born and raised in Ipswich and living in Sheffield (bassline capital) since 1999. Despite being a musician all my life, and a DJ since about 1997, it wasn’t until mid-2005 that I finally ditched me old 4-track, hooked myself up with proper some music production equipment and began to make nasty-sounding leg-wobbling music.

The Colonel has also been working on hip-hop beats for Leeds’ dopest emcee, MC FREE, and is about to finish a broken beat collaboration with the very talented Gizelle Smith.

If you are up for collaborating, or just want to give me some abuse (or praise) about my page or my music, just holla!
