Today I’m re-releasing my first solo album, from way back in the days of 2000–2001.  It’s a multi-faceted col­lec­tion of elec­tronic tunes, mean­der­ing from ambi­ent chill-out, to wob­bly breaks & bass, to loungey four-on-the-floor house.

hd051This four-cut release fea­tures an in-depth vocal ride through abstrac­tions and moods with a bass-heavy elec­tro rework by Philidelphia-based glitch head Kilo­Watts.

The B side throws some funk into the well with a dance­floor rework by Cal­i­for­nia sound-nut Rithma (OM, Tweekin). Dis­tant bells and jackin chords makes this remix an instant body mover. Chaka­harta rounds out the EP with a deep and min­i­mal “Funky Dub”.

Sam­ples are up at Har­mo­nious Dis­cord Record­ings, or head over to Beat­port to pick up the EP.

A Warm Focus EP

Posted on | March 30, 2004 | 1 Comment

R-267532-1167739177 Released back in 2004 on Fair Park Record­ings, this was a tag-team with Grey, who con­tributed the A-sides Aqua Agogo (fea­tur­ing Suza Kan­non) and Doma.

Hit The Nuco is a remix of my older track Hit The Rhodes off my Echopro­ject release, fea­tur­ing fel­low NUCO mem­bers Stephanie Ivey (vocals), Frank Topp (effects and turntab­lism), and Clay Roper (saxaphone).

L9house was writ­ten early one morn­ing in Rea­son while wait­ing to sober up over at Tommy Scott and Clay’s place.

This release was my first on vinyl, and had a lim­ited run of around 2000. I actu­ally had to go down to Ill­matic Records and buy a few copies in order to get my hands on this.
