Well it's my birthday today, but I decided to give you a gift instead of me getting one. I'm giving out my new EP Precipice for free.

I decided to do this EP because I was working on a new sound for my music, but it was going to be along time before I actually finished the full length so I decided to do a couple more songs specially for an EP to be released as a sort of precursor to the full length which is called Mountain Range which should come out some time next year. The sound on this album is a little bit more aggressive and straight forward then the stuff that's going to be on Mountain Range. It's kind of a perfect transition from the stuff I've been doing to the stuff I'm working on now (even though I didn't really mean it to be that way).

I was really influenced by a couple things while working on this EP. Most notably the musical stylings that appear on the new 65daysofstatic album, and the new Fuck Buttons Albums. That really heavy rhythmic sound with perfect synthisization. Another thing that really got me going on this album was I started to listened to a lot of 8-bit artists, particularily the band Starscream. Even though it may not jump out at you I tried to throw a little bit-y-ness into each song. And Lastly I started to really work with sampling, I used it mostly for vocals (because I can't really sing), but the good ole Lion, Roar! also helped me out on the song Architeuthis.

If you're still on the fence you can stream the song Earth Turtles over at my soundcloud:

Up dates

I'm gonna give a little update here. I just spent an hour looking at photos for the covers of my next two albums. Above this is a little taste of the art coming up. I'm also working on my last remix for vol.3 which of Nu Wave's Favorite Drug. So I'm chugging along.
Now onto the krux of this post. I've got plans to release 3 albums this summer. One every month, here is the tentative release schedule as of now:

+Late in June I'm looking to put out Wolves Remixes Vol.3. You can already score most of the tracks off my website, but the final product should have slightly better versions than are already out there. As well as them being neatly arranged by me.

+In what will probably be early July I'm going to drop my Ocarina Of Time megamix called Ocarina Orchestra. The album is five tracks with an additional track that mixes all the songs together into one long mix. Here's the tracklisting, It actually gives clues to some of the main samples I use for each song.
Part. 1 Kokiri Melody
Part. 2 Lost Woods Lullaby
Part. 3 Stormy Windmill Waltz
Part. 4 Geruedo Valley Grind
Part.5 Temple Of Time Tango
Ocarina Orchestra Mix

+The last release will be sometime in August and is an EP full of brand new material. The EP is called Precipice, and will act as sort of a precursor to the album I'm going to be putting out next year called Mountain Range. It's a completely new style for me, and it's very different than my last album.

Little extra bonus. Here's what I'm currently spinning:

A-Trak - Dirty South Dance 2

mc chris - mc chris Goes To Hell

Tokyo Police Club - Champ

Chemical Brothers - Further

Asher Roth - Asleep In The Bread Aisle

RAC x Holy Rollers

Ratatat - LP4
