GREYMATTER

Very excited about next year.  So far the first few months are shaping up like this:

Kev Luckhurst - Remember (Greymatter Tantric Rerub + Dub) [Wolf Music]
Greymatter - Believe In Something ft. Heidi Vogel (TRG Remix) [Unsigned] + House remixes (names TBC) on NY Soul
Greymatter - Mind Over Matter LP [Unsigned]
Kev Luckhurst - Archive Beats Volume 1: Kev Luckhurst (Unique Uncut)
Gentleman Starkey - Dead Of The Modern EP (Unique Uncut)
Aries Connection EP - Tracks + remixes (Unique Uncut)
Greymatter - Archive Beats Volume 2: Greymatter (Unique Uncut)

My new single is out now and available from all good download stores including Juno, Dancetracksdigital.com, Traxsource and co.  I was offered a couple of vinyl deals on this but im gutted to say that they never came off due to the current state of play, real shame.  If anyone is keen to license it for vinyl please get in touch.

Look out for three big name remixes coming early in 2009.

Getting there.  Definitely getting there.  Got all the tracks in place now, just adding the top layers onto them and its really sounding one entity.  Im intending to have it done by the middle of December and, for once, that looks likely.  Still need a couple of vocals though…  if you fancy it drop me a line.

To celebtrate the release of the absolute!! Sounds From Tokyo album on Unique Uncut, Aroop Roy (the album compiler) was asked to do a mix for the Gilles Peterson show. Listen and read more here

Thanks to Gilles, Beccy and Mari for their on going support of Unique Uncut

Still having serious mic issues so apologies for the lack of chatter.  Listen here though

Cheeky one this - I think you’ll know the track…

These chaps are good friends of mine, Brighton based, bluesy soulful rock band is probably the best description.  Recommend you check them out, especially a track called Lullaby - killer.  Unsigned at the moment, not sure how to be honest as its top class…  Anyway, listen to them here:  http://www.myspace.com/gentlemanstarkey
