Mixing Coming Around ...

So, in my last blog I told you about the recording of Coming Around by myself and ReggiiMental fresh from the box ... well, the next step was to get in a mix master general to master the sounds and make them fresh.

Joe Rizzle @ PukkaMix fitted the bill perfectly and trips to Tamworth were on the cards, and the album, I must honestly admit sounds as crisp as I ever wanted it to and thought it could be. 15 track Coming Around and coming soon, so very soon, May 1st in fact. I hope you're following the build up to the album on all the social networks, radio outlets and wherever else they're featuring mine and Reggii' faces. It's all good. Sit tight !

Again, for now have a listen to the two tracks previewed over on bandcamp ... why not pre-order?!



And here's the mix master himself at the desk (virtual desk - come on it's 2013) mastering the album in March ...

Recording Coming Around ...

Good afternoon folks, followers & fantasists,

It's been a short while since my last blog so I thought I'd write one about recording the album. It began in January following the release of the ever innocent ReggiiMental aka. Jimmy B-Boy from HMP for misdemeanours I shall neglect to mention. I went to see my partner in crime [sic] for an afternoon of Yorkshire Tea, LEGO and Ribena ... his creative spirit undamaged we proceeded to record new music with a sense of urgency and feeling of optimism I hadn't had for some time. The new album features 15 songs, so many for such a short space of time, recorded over two months, and my parts written and recorded in perhaps two weeks. I can't wait for you to hear the thing in full, the artwork is pretty snazzy too, and I hope you like the whole package, a lot of love has gone into it. My friends and earthbound spirits, I truly hope it tickles your fancy ...

For now have a listen to the two tracks previewed over on bandcamp ... why not pre-order?!



And here's a picture of me taking a break from mixing in March with a furry little friend I found hanging around the studio.
