Thought I’d reveal my release plans here first for anyone interested. my first release of 2019 and my first EP release ! I’ve chosen 4 of my early tracks from when I used to post on soundcloud. theyve been remastered for the first time and this is the first time they’ve had a proper release . I’ve decided to do this as it’s a great way to see how my sound has developed ( and hopefully improved ) . I also still love hearing these tracks and it will be great having them available digitally ! . I will post more when my release date has been confirmed ! Can’t wait for you all to hear it!

Take Me Back
This was my first solo track released on soundcloud all the way back in February 2013! Before that I had experimented with some mash-ups in 2012 before deciding I wanted to do my own work. As this was my first track, it will always be very special to me, it seems quite basic now hearing it again but I like the structure. Its a bass heavy loop with samples and effects building up until a break-beat makes the track come alive. I also love the guitar twang that is added here and there giving it a slight dark edge. As with the other Demos there are definitely things I would change if I ever remade it but as a first track I think it was a reasonable first attempt!

Feeling It This track was first released on soundcloud in September 2014. It was pretty much a one-take off the cuff release. it was written as kind of a joke and sort of a sequel to a demo that I never released. Its deliberately cheesy with the rap verses and some singing! I would really like to re-make this into a fuller sounded track at some point but I also love the basicness of the demo which is why I thought it was perfect for this release. It was an attempt at trying something Pop! not sure if I succeeded but it was really fun making this

Automation
This was also released in my prolific period of 2013 when I posted 10 tracks on soundcloud. The idea behind Automation was to have a track where layers of sounds were gradually added. I wanted something quite minimal and repetitive but also something that would revolve around a simple hook. Automation was planned to be a trilogy of tracks and I believe I did start working on a 2nd Automation but I lost a lot of material when my laptop died and think that was one of the casualties. I like the idea of a trilogy of tracks so who knows I may get to finishing the 2nd and 3rd parts at some point.

Kreep
Kreep is my favourite track on the EP. Its very much a track which captures the mood I was in when I wrote it. It was written when I spent a week on my own, I felt lonely and a bit scared being on my own and I think that reflects in the tone of the track. There is a constant vinyl crackle in the track and a creepy loop that sounds like a demon ice cream van jingle. The structure is a bit weird and I think thats what I like about it. It builds up until theirs a very bass heavy drop towards the end. All of it sounds pretty dark added in with some horror samples I found on the internet. I did start working on a follow up to this provisionally titled '2nd Kreep'. It sounded pretty dark but I didnt finish it and if I did do something like this again I would probably start from scratch.
