New EP announced: "Melodies for Church"

Rather strange title but I'm working on a new EP called "Melodies for Church". At least 3 tracks are 100% completed and I'm going to push for a release in the next couple of weeks.

The EP will be mostly Dubstep but I have been experimenting with 'offbeat riddims' to add a certain Reggae feel. There will also be a progressive house track too which I cannot wait to unveil!

The Huffin' TrainREK

So. I make music. As the first post of my blog I want to send you the release link to my EP which I released at Christmas, and a background for each of the tracks!

Tracklist:

1. Sunshine Dust
The original draft of the song did not feature the introductory bass, and the drop was a lot less "choppy" and powerless. It was the first song I had made that hadn't been a test song or a joke song. When I was compiling this EP, I didn't plan on adding this song until I later realised that I could simply update and remaster this old track and make it the featured track of the EP.

2. Women Are Monsters Ok?
After looking through youtube videos for potential samples, I came across a documentary for domestic violence that spoke about women beating men as opposed to men beating women. An hour later and I had turned the little clip into a dubstep track.

3. Drama Queen (Leave Me Alone)
While testing vocal effects, I added bitcrusher and a filter to a vocal clip of me saying "Just f*cking leave me alone". Having a small brainwave I realised I could use this for a drop.

4. Valium
An old unfinished track I had lying around for some time. Refurbished and remastered for this EP, it's arguably the best on there!
