This Modern Depression (LP)

I am proud to announce my third self-released project: This Modern Depression.

**Featuring “Aces High”, one of my most played songs on SoundCloud! The fans have spoken, and the track is available for purchase for the first time!**
With songs written from 2007 through 2009, This Modern Depression is making a debut as an instrumental album full of trip-hop and downtempo influence, with a twist of cinematic feeling.

You can preview and buy the album at various online retailers, including:

“The Dark Side of the Studio” Compilation, Out Now!

Definite Ridge Recordings – “The Dark Side of the Studio” is a compilation of label artists.  This compilation contains my latest house song, “This Time, I Say”. Check it out on track 3!

Available on: Juno
Release date: October 5, 2011
Label: Definite Ridge Recordings (website | Facebook)

‘The Dark Side Of The Studio’ Compilation – Out Now by Definite Ridge Recordings

Support from Giom, Joan Ribas, Inland Knights, Marvin Zeyss, Ray Colclough, Tommy Largo.

First blog review on “This is Why We Dance” -

  • “…Definite Ridge could become a serious force to reckon with. If you dig the likes of Salted Music, 90watts or Lost My Dog, you need to be checking these guys out – they’re packing more bounce to the ounce for sure.”
  • I also get a nod: “…or the thoughtful, Trentemoller-esque meanderings of This Time, I Say by Sliptide – to prove this isn’t a label that’s likely to get stuck in one groove.”

Sean Armstrong 2011 Sampler – October Update!

After a month off due to project work (Sliptide and side projects), live set design and practice, and life in general, I’ve thrown in three new grooving clips and a noteworthy update to “Sundowntowner” that I am *VERY* excited about. I hope you all enjoy these teaser clips! Keep an eye out for my announcements of up coming live performances in December (house music) and January (downtempo/indie electronic)!

Sean Armstrong 2011 Sampler – August Update

I have updated the monthly sampler with productions started in August. The most exciting thing, for me, is the debut of my new pseudonym (all be it closer to my real name.. but not quite), “mrastrong“, which is an outlet for decidedly hip-hop instrumental influenced material. I’m excited to continue where I had left off a few years ago with these ideas and feelings for this type of music.

Also in this months sampler are a few house grooving tracks, and another ‘travel tech’ type of song (“Never Really Gone”).

2011 Sampler – April Update

I’ve been pretty busy with other projects, life, and going to support local DJs and producers at shows in April. I was able to start a few new tracks though! I’m very excited for “Salt & Sun”, but the others are pretty solid too and have some great potential.

Next month may be pretty slim on the new music front as I am working hard on wrapping up production on a few different projects of my own and side-projects with friends of mine.

2011 Sampler – March Update

It’s that time again. Where the hell did March go, anyway?

A few more delicious bites of that chill meets deep house flavor I’ve been working on this year, along with another downtempo influenced track in there. You’ll also hear some of that adventurous sound of tech-house.

MOST excitedly, though, is the debut of a side project I’m working on with Matt Amberg. We call ourselves “Import.Export”, and are working on an EBM sound that will get asses shaking in the northwest. Check out the teaser clip (the first one of the set) which is an instrumental version of a song we are still writing for and working on.

I also have two remixes that are going under contract for two separate labels. Announcements of them and their release dates/clips should be soon-ish, so keep an eye out!

2011 Sampler – February Update

Here’s the update to my monthly sampler! 2 minutes clips of new music. I have a few downtempo tracks and a bunch of house I worked on in February. So far, none of these are slated for official release and a few of them still need quite a bit of work.

Enjoy!
