I wrote this track about 15 years ago, and this is the demo of it. It was rejected by Grassroots for being "too indie". No worries, it was; we rocked pretty hard. I was also in a music production duo with Sharkey at the time, but as I'd done the tune all by myself, it didn't seem fair to put it out as an USMEN track. So, like many bits and bats, it got left on a hard drive and was forgotten about. When I moved at Christmas, I spent about 3 months going through each and every CD that I have, and it was on a burned one named 'Kev's old tunes #2', along with many other forgotten gems (and some s**t ones ☺️). I think it's a decent track. Here's a video I've enjoyed putting together for it.
Starring Mr Dickens of course 😼

This track was one of the first tracks that I completed. I got a pen drive with a load of acapellas on and decided to do a chilled out mix of an old skool rave classic. This was over 20 years ago, and it somehow got lost along the way. Since moving house at Christmas, I have discovered a lot of my old work, and with being laid up with a broken arm, I have decided to learn how to use Powerdirector. I'm really chuffed with how this has turned out.

As I'm laid up like a loser, with quite a bad broken arm, can't work or do much for myself but, my fingers are fine, so I'm keeping my mind occupied by putting some of my old, unreleased tracks to video, and learning Powerdirector... and it's bloody hard work! Great fun though 🙂. The only thing is, a great majority of my gallery vids are of my cat, and not much else!
🤷🏻‍♂️🙄☺️🤣😼
Anyway, here's the first one (a few more to come): a bluesy, dreamy, groovy kind of jam with just two guitars, a bass, some funky ass drums and a nice vocal sample.
A simple celebration of the Fender Stratocaster.

A constant work in progress, but some sage advice. 👌🏼

Good music doesn't have boundaries...

I used to love mixing different tracks: instruments and acapellas. I always tried to make it more than a mash-up though and make it a track on its own. This one of those tunes... It just works.

Absolutely brilliant, original music. Future Islands have a sound of their own. They're proper class, IMO, and I can't get enough! 🙂 They just keep getting better with every listen. ❤️

'Say Goodbye' is from the new album ‘People Who Aren't There Anymore’, out now via 4AD: https://futureislands.ffm.to/pwata Video by Jayla SmithLyrics:After w...

I'm extremely proud to announce that my second single on Onto The Groove records is out for pre-sale today. Full release next Friday 22nd December. Have a preview listen on the link below. As per... it's a high energy, house track, and it has more of a 'twisted disco' vibe to it, as opposed to the progressive pound of Fire & Skill.

Grab your copy (for a limited time only) of this piece of dark and moody original music, topped off with a funky fresh B. Boys acapella which really brings the track to life. Using classic electric guitars with authentic reverbs and tremelo FX through vintage amplifiers, a live recorded melodica solo which lifts the sections in-between the triple rhyme routine, stereo film audio FX and real chunky-subby bass with beats aplenty! This is Kev's contribution to 50 years of hip hop, long may it continue!

I have been extremely busy recently doing all kinds of different music projects, some really really good stuff and I'm dead proud...
This is one of the tracks...

"Stream the full track here. This track is absolutely fantastic - so well written, performed and shaped. It's been recorded very well, with great mics and quality instruments... and between myself and the boys in the band this tune has been produced and mixed to everyone's (very high) standards, and then given to Ben 'The Master' Booker for its final audio blessing (*genius stuff 👌🏼). Have a listen, enjoy it, it's a s**t hot track. Nice one 😀👍🏼" - Kev Atherton
