Sunday Post


Growing up in the mid to late nineties, I'm more than familiar with remixes. And just as most summer blockbusters ended on a tenuous rap ('Addams Family Whoomp', anyone?), most every single came with a lazy club-mix attached.

Course, my thoughts on remixes cannot be summed up in one flippant remark. I love remixes and remixing. You only have to listen to Jacques Greene's take on Radiohead's, 'Lotus Flower', Boards of Canada's retelling of Beck's, 'Broken Drum', or absolutely anything by lil' spaceman to realise there's something unusually beautiful about this distractive act.


Tomorrow I will be releasing my version of The Inconsistent Jukebox's genre-hopping masterpiece, 'Bold Ego Fledgling (Baby's Got It All Planned)'. And even though it'd be pretty foolish to compare it to any of the above, it still feels like a small victory for me.

Anyway, why not enjoy the Snaithilicious guitars in their untainted glory below, then the plethora of other remixes here.



Happy thoughts,

Sunday Post


To tell you the truth, I wasn't planning to put a new, 'Wou-Wou Open Collab', track out 'till next month, but it seems silly to sit on something when it's ready to go. Plus, this particular side-project is a year old... or at least the idea behind it is - 'Faux Fur' didn't come out 'till early October 2015. 

Anyway, it's pointless to get tangled in such silly things (it only feeds my more anal traits anyhow). Basically, a second wave of tracks are ready and waiting, so now seemed like a good time to wrap-up the old to bring the new. And to honour the said "old", I have compiled a playlist of everything released during that first year(ish) in 'Wou-Wou Open Collab - Vol. I'



So what of the new? Well, 'Here/There', is one track that I've slowly lost enthusiasm for. Not because I think it's bad, it just never felt finished. This of course makes it the perfect candidate for open collaboration. And, there'll be plenty to go at, with grouped beat, string and bass/guitar stems available for torment. 

'Here/There', will released and freely downloadable from SoundCloud tomorrow.


As mentioned in last week's 'Sunday Post', my society6 and Big Cartel pages are now up and running. This is so I can shift selling my wares (and stop looking like a big stinky sellout) on social media to somewhere more specialist, permanent with ultimately more options. This'll also help claim my FacebookInstagram and Twitter back for sharing artwork that isn't necessarily intended for sale.

Updates on new products and artwork will come weekly, starting this coming Saturday. 

Happy thoughts,
