Album finished….coming soon

I haven’t posted much lately, but there’s been a good reason for it, I have been busy focussing on finishing my long awaited album….. I’m pleased to say it’s finished. All that’s left is to get the tracks mastered, sort out the play order, and finish the artwork.

It will have a full worldwide CD and digital release some time later this year, hopefully Autumn providing everything gets finished in time. I’ll post another update on it’s pending release nearer the time.

I’m pretty excited, most of the album was written in the past year, all new tracks, with only a few previously released favourites being on there too.

More news soon….

8 new releases on Summer Rain Recordings today

my label, Summer Rain Recordings just released 8 new EPs today, all pretty damn good in my humble opinion.

Check them out below:

We have 8 great new releases today at Summer Rain. Click the pics to preview the EP:

Homesic – Restless Heart Syndrome EP

homesic-restless-heart-syndrome

Homesic’s first EP on Summer Rain brings you 5 tracks that can’t help but put you in a good mood. Their sound is probably best described as Japanese TV show music meets Aphex Twin.

10% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

David Kira – In Evolution EP

david-kira-in-evolution

David Kira couldn’t have named his second EP on Summer Rain better. An evolutionary step from from his first EP, building on the strengths of Instinct EP, In-Evolution contains 4 beautiful new tracks that take your mind on a journey. Music so perfect for a film, it makes us want to create one for them to accompany.

5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Iridium Flares – Anchor EP

iridium-flares-anchor-ep

Iridium Flares’ second EP has been a long time coming, but it was certainly worth the wait. He has taken the most loved aspects from his first EP, thrown them into the pot, and added new found and old honed skills into the mix, and created 4 blissful new tracks. If there’s a genre called folkidmglitchtronica, then this EP fits it perfectly.

5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Everything Is – Two Stories EP

everythig-is-two-stories-ep

Taking a break from the electronic side of things, Everything Is’ first EP is a collection of 4 beautiful, chilled, and haunting piano songs. If you are wondering how this might all fit in to Summer Rain’s catalog, then take a listen, and you’ll soon realise why we chose to release this EP.

5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Mr Squirrel – The Ourboros EP

mr-squirrel-ourboros-ep

Mr. Squirrel’s second EP on Summer Rain is much like an auditory version of the cover – an organic blend of light and dark sounds, textures, and percussive breaks that condense a melting pot of influences and inspirations into 5 tracks of aural pleasure. What does that sound like? Take a listen….

5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Storm Boy – Chrome EP

storm-boy-chrome-ep

Storm Boy’s Second Release on Summer Rain, Chrome EP, brings you more of what he’s good at – deep progressive tech house. @ new tracks from him, with 2 different mixes of both tracks to please different moods, different minds. Tracks that sound perfect both dropped in a club set or dropped to chill to when you get home.

5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

riccicomoto – Turn Over EP

riccicomoto-turn-over-ep

His third EP on Summer Rain brings more of the quality we’ve come to expect from riccicomoto, though this is his best yet, 4 new tracks showcasing a more refined sound with fresh nu jazz and lounge grooves reminiscent of sounds you might expect from the likes of a Ninja Tune music session.

50% of all sales proceeds are being donated to NextAid.

Benjamin In Peru – Isolated Waves EP

benjamin-in-peru-isolated-waves-ep

The Debut EP from Benjamin in Peru delivers a distinct but unique IDM atmosphere that wouldn’t be out of place on an advert for exquisite dark belgian chocolate and exotic fruit praline from one of the finest belgian chocolate producers. Give it a taste, we think you’ll like it.

5% of all sales proceeds are being donated to charity.

Free Tracks – November 08

I recently did some housekeeping on the folders on my Mac in an attempt to get organised, and found a bunch of older tracks that were never released, rather than put them on an EP and sell them, I thought I’d give them away to anyone who wants to download them.

Feel free to share them with as many people as you like.

I’ll give away a few more next month too, so keep checking back.

And don’t forget, my new Earth EP comes out on the 24th of December, with 100% of sales proceeds going to charity.

You can download the tracks via the following links:
