about

Originally a 2-track EP distributed discreetly as a promotional item with Milieu Music web store orders (circa 2016-2017), Soft Dirt has lain dormant in my archives since drawing up those 20 or so CD-Rs. Three tracks of Earthy, raw techno that aren't afraid of getting loud or heavy, while still remaining beautifully decorated with gem-lined majesty. The first two tracks were two of the very first ones I recorded in the proto-version of my current studio, which then consisted of only a corner of drum machines, analog synths and FX piled on top of a few moving boxes and haphazardly wired in and out of a small Mackie mixer. Revisiting this material earlier this Summer yielded a third expansive cut to the release, possibly the most spacious and dub-minded of the three. Soft Dirt is the perfect sound to push through car stereos and PA systems to distract from the blistering heat of the Summer, although I suspect the crunchy textures and buzzing overdriven bass sections of these tracks will weather well into the Autumn also. Here and now, Soft Dirt is exhumed for the ears of the world, beyond the twenty people who were privy to it the first time around...
