Sean Armstrong – 2011 Sampler – Updated for October by sliptide

Cheers,
-Sean

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.”

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

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.

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!

Tobias Hoppe (Pure Substance / Further) “I like all 4 tracks a lot here. Really nice laid back music – THANKS!!”

Norman H (Stripped) “Smooth grooves all the way here played all four at the weekend in the first hour of my set excellent deepness.”

Kasey Taylor (Vapour / eVapour8) “Nice cool techy house here thanks”

Wez Saunders (Endemic Digital) “This is special shizzle!!! Pike & Contours are worthy chart contenders for me … all 4 cuts will get support from me in the very near future. I can see Pike in particular becoming a 2011 fave of mine. Very good stuff, thanks!!”

Amir Abbasi (modifi music) “Great release, Conours and Ninja Figurine are my favorite!”

Cave Sedem (Further, Oversized) “Quality on the top! Nice deep tech stuff! Pike for my fav!”

Xaric (Stripped Digital / Atlant Digital) “Pike & Deeper for me. 2 Great tunes.”

Daniel Mehes “really cool deep and mellow sounds. my two favs are the contours and the Ninja figurine, thnx”

Jordi Riera (Rarie Music / underClubb ) “Great release, all tracks for me!”

Enjoy!
