It’s been a slow year, but towards the end of 2012 I had worked on a “new” sound for me to play with.. a somewhat darker, aggressive throw back to solid house music from the 90’s.  I was very pleased with the result. Here’s the first clip of two songs from around that time.

Working on new indie album, “Unspoken For”

Taking a break from house music usually yields in some interesting experiments with sound that I love very much. This music tends to be more in tune with me and represents an aspect of my life and my being that doesn’t often get exposure via my music.

Some of my most-listened to songs on SoundCloud will appear on the album, and I hope to have it out this fall (late Nov/early Dec).

Here is one song that will appear on the album:

Songs Appearing in the Movie “Shadowed” (2012)

I have three songs being used in the independent movie, “Shadowed”.

A full version of my song, “Clutch” (downtempo) is available for streaming online, along side clips of “Under Cover” (house) and “Lost Gaze” (downtempo).

Check out my website for more information and the SoundCloud set containing the songs!

Mrastrong - If I Could Be

My “Mrastrong” project is one that is amassing a nice collection of beastrumental type work. Akin to the influences in my life of DJ Shadow, Wax Tailor, RJD2, and influences in my personal life (my best friend Ian, who got me into turntablism, mixing, and everything electronic back in the mid 90’s).

Here is the latest result of a quick session at my current pseudo-studio in our new home in Seattle.  It’s a little rough around the edges but a fun one to bob your head to.

Sliptide - Rush (EP) [In Stores 4/20]

It’s been a busy 2012 for me.. Moving, incoming baby.. but there’s been room for music here and there. ANADAMAIDE Records picked up a few of my songs from last year. Here are some clips to enjoy until the release comes out on 4/20.

Could You Really? [work in progress][deep house]

Here is a clip of a new deep house track I started last week. I won’t be able to touch it again until after moving back to Seattle proper.. more on that in a separate post.

Playing with the song “Salt & Sun” while getting ready for my show last December.

Playing with the song “One Zero One” while getting ready for my show last December.

I didn’t post this to Tumblr when it went live.. so here you go!

This is a lovely downtempo track I made this year that I wanted to share with everyone. It’s available to listen to for free in its entirety on SoundCloud, but you can also purchase it at BandCamp if you’d like to own it.

There will be more music like this in the future. =)

Cheers!
