My 5-track EP, initially entitled “The Bear Tracks”, has been returned from the estimable mastering talents of Audible Oddities and is, if I may say, sounding lush.  After some discussion with Thorsten, we’re going to go with “Ghost Tracks” as a title instead.  The unmastered versions are still previewable on the Murdochspace.

Nothing definite about a release date yet, but 5th April is likely.

I’d been contemplating a change in direction recently, turning to slower, dirge-like 4/4 territory, but being so pleased with the “Ghost Tracks” may lead me to try and fuse that with the more dubsteppy sound.  I’ve been listening to a lot of Four Tet and Linkwood, plus a bit of Omar S who I like more in theory than in practice, so might channel the more traditional PU sound alongside my new-found acceptance (i.e. non-hatred) of some forms of house music.  Here’s a first draft of something I did.  (speaking of Soundcloud, there’s an Aaliyah/The XX bootleg there too.  I’m not knocked out by The XX, but I thought the intro on their album was great and far too short, so I quantised and extended it for DJ use.)

(Firstborn is due in two weeks today!)
