Musician Ray Keith is set to unveil a new studio album entitled "The Birdman" for his eager fans.

Ray Keith, a renowned figure in the drum and bass scene, has released his latest album, "The Birdman LP", on May 26, 2023. The album, released on his own label, Dread Recordings, is a testament to his years of musical experience and the unique feelings of the lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.

During the lockdown, music was a source of strength for Ray Keith, helping him get through the dark days. This is reflected in the album's tracks like 'Paradise' and 'Amnesia', which were created during this time. These songs, along with others such as 'Cybertron', 'Dreadlocks', and 'Feel the Melody' (a collaboration with E-LISA), showcase the album's drum and bass style with deep basslines and breakbeats that are characteristic of Ray Keith's work.

The album's title, "The Birdman", holds a personal significance for Ray Keith. He began feeding birds during the lockdown, an activity he hadn't done before, and this new connection with nature inspired the name.

Ray Keith's weekly show was broadcast on Origin FM during the lockdown, and he played 'Paradise' and 'Amnesia' on his show, which became anthems for many listeners. Approximately 500-600 people tuned in to his show each week, testament to his enduring popularity.

In a heartfelt dedication, Ray Keith has dedicated his new album to those who got through the Covid lockdown, acknowledging the shared experience and resilience of those who weathered the pandemic.

Ray Keith, a living legend in the drum and bass scene, has been a staple part of the genre since the 80s, playing rare-groove, acid-house, hardcore, and jungle. His new album, "The Birdman", promises to showcase his years of musical experience and the unique feelings of the lockdowns in 2020 and 2021, offering a journey through a challenging time in history.
