Monolith - mangled electronic chaos

Thundering kick drums, bizarre glitchy-ness and the return of my creepy electronic vocals! Monolith is my new track falling somewhere in the great messy genre pool of IDM, Industrial, Electro and even tribal (who needs genre's anyway?)



Churning out new tracks is becoming a little hard these days with studies, running my own business and this damn straight jacket that chafes. But lots of work is underway for more projects! One of them being a collaboration track with my mate, Michelle Freeman - a highly talented pianist (she's hot! - *drool*)



Remixes, hell, I never seem to stop doing those but sometimes they yield their rewards. I recently entered the Emendy remix competition (Emendy is a music colledge and store stocking equipment for music and post production). I won the competition and received my prize this week - tutorial DVDs on Audio mastering. So now, hopefully, I can brush up on those skills and your ears will stop bleeding!

That's it for now, Hope you all had a great weekend!

cheers,
Hugh
