Old Ghosts…
We’ve all got a few skeletons in our closets and hiding behind those skeletons in mine is a big tupperware tub of old tapes brimming over with tracks I never released, or in some cases, never finished. So imagine my delight when the philanthropist of net labels Myuzyk offered to release an album’s worth of these unheard tracks – Myuzyk were responsible for last years Twisting The Frame compilation which included my old track ‘Take It Down’ for those of you in the dark.
So I’ve dusted off the tapes, fired up the DAT player and selected some favourites from the pile which cover a calvacade of styles from synth-led hip hop to freeform jazz and even a bit of what I probably shouldn’t describe as proto dubstep without expecting a dry slap. The set amasses 5 years of analogue production from when I picked up an akai 3000 in 1999 to the moment in 2004 where I finally switched it off and bought a half decent Mac.
I’ve picked the title ‘Old Ghosts’ for what might seem like obvious reasons but it’s actually the title of the first track I finished and since lost, it was either that or ‘Stuff On Old DATs’ which wasn’t half as catchy.
It’ll be available to download in time for Christmas and what’s more it’s completely FREE! So keep em peeled for further news.
Also I’m very proud to announce that Resonance FM, where we do the Mr Trick & Wrongtom show, have just won a Radio Academy Award – more info here.
