Sunday Post


Thursday saw the release of 'Rehashed', a mock DJ set centred around my own back-catalog. But why do it, and why now?

Well, it's something that I've been dabbling with since last year, but never got around to finishing anything substantial. And, as you've probably noticed, the idea of taking parts of songs and forcing them together is something that I find pretty striking. 'The Audio Bin' for example, 'Rehashed' is basically that side-project but with my own music and not donated outtakes.



It was also 'Wou's' second birthday on Thursday, so completing and releasing this remix seemed to be a nice way to look back on the years and 40 something tracks that I have managed to release during this time. 

'Rehashed' is free to stream and enjoy over on SoundCloud now: 



As mentioned in a previous post, I will be taking a break from releasing music and blogging throughout the summer so that I can concentrate on outstanding art projects and new music. Most notably my graphic novel, 'Major Gubbins', and the, 'MUSIC BY CHANCE' double LP.

Of course, I won't be disappearing completely. The 'Wou-Wou Repost' playlists will be back in June and social media updates will continue as long as I have something to share. There's also a number of collab tracks that are on the verge of release, including my vocal debut on Froxie's new EP, and a new song with Couch King (to name but two).

So until September, keep safe and happy thoughts,

Inspired in part by Manitoba's, 'Start Breaking My Heart', tomorrow's 'Wou-Wou Open Collab' track, 'The Phoney Lab', is a short slice of MIDI heavy electronica. Orderly, sterile, but hopefully not without heart. And with it being an open collaboration project the master will be available alongside isolated stems for remixing and reshaping.

'The Phoney Lab', is out tomorrow via SoundCloud. Visit previous OC tracks here.



In other news, this May marks the second year of 'Wou-Wou & The Wormling', and, in the same vein as last year I'll be assembling a 52 track playlist of my favourite reposts during 2015/2016. It's just one of a number of things that I have in mind to reflect on my short time under this alias. Including special remixes and artwork... more details to come next week. 

Lastly, towards the end of May I'll be taking a bit of time off. This three month (or so) hiatus is so I can focus on my graphic novel as well as the 'MUSIC BY CHANCE' album, both due towards the end of the year. 

However, I won't be disappearing entirely, as there's a number of collaborative projects that'll be surfacing throughout the summer, with repost playlists and other social media updates to follow suit. 

Happy thoughts,
