Sorry if Spotify is unavailable in your country, I'm hoping the above track list will help compensate.

The gift of design.

At this festive season what better a way to kill some time than by flexing those design skills.

With an abundance of sofa-time and creative urges fuelled by sherry and mince pies I agreed to a couple of quick design jobs.

First up is @RabidGravy who needed a cover for his new remix E.P. Voodoo Slice:

Mr Gravy is yet to remark that I oopsed and added an extra 'S' to the word slice. I blame the sherry. Let's see if he notices ;)

Second up is @RthrTylr who wanted a new logo for Xmas, here's what he got:

Last up was myself. What use is Xmas if you can't treat yourself to little something too.
I'm not settled on the result quite yet but here's a recent rework of my own logo:

I hope everyone is enjoying the Xmas break.
Now let's buckle up for 2011.
Enjoy the ride.

Lull - The Remix E.P. Released

Greetings.

Remember I mentioned a remix I was producing for MikeWhitePresents?

The track is called Lull and it's featured on "Lull - The Remix E.P." and it's now available in iTunes and other digital outlets. My first track to arrive in a store anywhere actually (pops cork).

My Hushabye mix appears amongst a plethora of epic mixes created by some of Reverb Nation's finest.
Here's what MWP have to say about their release.

My version of the track is only available for download via MWP at the moment, however if you wish to hear my Hushabye remix in it's entirety here it is on Soundcloud...
Lull - Endo Meso Hushabye Mix (MWP ft. The Ducks) by Endo Meso

It was a great opportunity to have a stab at something different.
Show MWP and these hard-working artists some love by offering your support.

Regards,

Remixing Mike White Presents

I've been remixing a track for the mighty Mike White Presents http://bit.ly/t0Vj0. It's totally unlike any track I've done before.

I don't get to play with vocals much so this venture has proved quite the challenge. I've been experimenting with Melodyne to modify the vocal performance without making it sound too much like a robot. It's been a real eye-opener.

The track is called Lull and you'll find the original on MWP's page.

More soon.
