FIELDWORK 007: SECRET GARDEN, BEATS & FREESTYLES
DODGYMATHS finds himself in a secret garden in East London. Beats spark, freestyles flow, and the space itself starts feeding the session.
FIELDWORK 006: Nostalgia @ Forty Hall Estate
DODGYMATHS takes a wander through Forty Hall Estate, blending live beats with the rhythm of the day. Along the path are friendly faces, curious dogs, and the kind of nature that makes music breathe differently. Forty Hall isn’t just a backdrop—it’s where DODGYMATHS spent countless hours as a kid, cycling through trails that now echo with his sound. What begins as a walk becomes a meeting point of nostalgia, atmosphere, and groove.
FIELDWORK 005: Beats Under A Tree in East with the SP404
DODGYMATHS sets up under a quiet shady tree in East London to play through a couple of beats on the SP-404MKII. Nothing fancy—just some samples, patterns and drum loops.
FIELDWORK 004: An Irish Morning, Cottage Beats x Roland SP404 MK II
In this episode of FIELDWORK, DODGYMATHS takes you inside his creative process with the Roland SP-404, breaking down his production workflow and sharing the little techniques that shape the 'DPDGY' sound. Filmed in a quiet cottage on a rainy Irish morning, this session blends atmosphere and beat-making into something personal and reflective.
FIELDWORK 003: Beats, Pizza & Peeps
Saturday 9th August 2025
On this episode of FIELDWORK, DODGYMATHS takes you to on a stroll around Hackney Wick for a day of street-level creativity. Armed with his gear — the Roland SP-404MKII, Roland PRO Go X mixer, and Shure BETA 57A dynamic microphone — DODGYMATHS finds a private part of an outdoor garden for his session; lo-fi rhythms built entirely on location. In between beats, it’s all about grassroots brand-building: handing out Maths Company stickers, meeting people, and showing how a creative brand grows one conversation at a time. All the filmed on the DJI Osmo Action 4, putting you right there in the moment.
