For about two years I have been focusing on improving and polishing my live performances. This process has been both successful and rewarding and I am looking forward to doing many live shows in the years to come.
That said I have recently turned my attention towards releasing new material again and aiming for a global outlet for my live shows. However finding a label willing to support me and my current output has proven time and again to be frustrating, emotionally draining and time consuming. I have never been interested in meeting the market demands for “that minimal sound” or catering to the sonic palate of any one particular label so it has been difficult to sign my tracks without compromise. I am also loathe to spread my work over a wide range of labels anyway as I feel, artistically, that this only dilutes my output and renders all my efforts moot. I wanted to find one outlet to call home, a place to pool a catalouge of my output and make it available to a global audience.
So it`s with great joy that I have been invited to become a partner in running Rennie Foster`s online digital imprint “Dirty Works”.
I am now co-owner of the imprint and will take over a share of the day to day administrative duties which involve promoting the imprint and upcoming releases, preparing releases for upload and coordinating their artwork and of course releasing my own tracks too.
I am very excited about the new prospects that this opportunity holds and I am confident in the end that the music will speak for itself.
