Merry Christmas to everyone/ God Jul till er Alla

Forgot to mention in my last post that I'm also (as always) working on new Small Colin tracks. Hopefully next year some time you'll all see and hear a new ep from me. Fingers crossed :)


Also Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope you have a great festive period with your family & friends.

OH MY!!!

Seems I've not posted an entry since the 4th of September! Well as usual I've been a busy busy boy. "What have I been doing with my life?", I hear you all ask. hmm, let me see……I been working & travelling all over Sweden, I've been working quietly on new Small Colin material, I've been dancing in the home of Henke, I've been being lazy as only I know how, I've been blah, blah, blah. You know how it is……

Now for some updates:-

Both myself & Scott have started on the 2nd ep for our Small Radio project. The ep will be called "Le Migre 2" and it will probably be released around March/April 2010. At the moment I'm slightly unsure what direction the tracks are going in but for me that is what makes this thing so exciting. We never know whats going to happen with it. Updates will be provided when & if they're available.

I recieved an email from Scott the other day informing me that our track "By Any Means" is featured on a free download compilation entitled "Cologne Commons Compilation 03 # Be Shareful". As you can expect, we are over the moon about this. It gives us even more exposure for our sounds. Click on the link below to visit the page. And make sure you download the album also. It is excellent!

Be Shareful

Some Pics

Here is some recent pics I have taken with my iPhone. They're not really relevent to the music of Small Colin but I like them. :)

As you might have noticed I have uploaded a brand new Small Colin track to my player on this very page.

In my opinion it sounds very "Small Colin" but the vocals are very different to anything I have done before. Hopefully you all will like it just as much as I do.

btw yes, it is me thats doing the high vocal parts. :D

Some updates on Le Migre

First, another blog write-up…

Headphonaught's Nanlog

And secondly, we have recieved the latest stats from Marco over at Rec72. Up to the 3rd of September there has been 467 complete EP downloads & around the same in single tracks as well. Not bad for the first month I think you'll agree. But we're not resting at that so make sure you tell all your friends/enemies to help us out.

Another feature on Le Migre in this worldwide DJ blog.

Also a quick mention that I've now started back at my "regular" job so unfortunately the music creation will slow down a bit. But watch out for some new Small Colin tracks in the next month or so.

Another day, another blog mention…

…well two blogs actually.

Small Radio has a full feature on NewTechnoID & a video entry on My Modern.

Exciting times!

Vids up & running

One of the guys over at rec72 was kind enough to make some short promo videos to co-incide with the release of Le Migre.

Both videos can be found on the superb vimeo.com website.
Direct links for each vid are:-

Both myself & Scott are super happy with these and hopefully you will be too.

Advance review of Le Migre

Hi there, Just a short post giving you all the chance to read an advance review of the forthcoming Small Radio EP.
As you can imagine both parties are pretty happy but have a read for yourselves.

From Under The Radar by Adrian Carter

BTW I know I always promise to post more and always let you down. Well from now on I really, really intend to do at least one post a week telling you what's what.
I can promise you one thing though……over the next while all blogs will be about the Small Radio project.
For example, the next one will be dealing with some of the details of the video myself & Scott are making for one of the tracks. (Hopefully).

News on the forthcoming Le Migre EP

Ok, like I said before, the ep will be released on a German net-label in the coming Summer. The name of the label is "Rec72" and it really is a great place to get new music. Both Scott & I are overjoyed that they wish to release our project on their imprint. Check out their site in the link below:-

Rec72

There was some other details I was going to mention but I think it would be better to save them for when you have the music to refer to. So in the meantime, keep checking both of our sites for news of the release date.

Yip, I'm still here……

Hi. Jeez, its been almost 4 months since my last post!!!
So my apologies for anyone wondering what I've been up to. My lack of updates has been mainly due to me getting a new job that eats up almost all of my time. But hey, enough about that lets find out whats what.

A good few new tracks have been completed recently. Hopefully I will add them here & to my Myspace page soon. Maybe today infact……eh, we'll see.

The Radio Scotvoid remix I spoke of in the last post has now been released on Earth Monkey Productions. You can download it (and the all the other tracks) from the link below:-

Radio Scotvoid - Fragment (Consider Remixing)

This is actually a superb album that I keep going back to for both listening pleasure & for inspiration. Its amazing what you can learn from other producers who are in a similar stage (of their carrers) as yourself. Great stuff.

One other major thing that has happened is the co-lab ep I'm always bleating on about has now some backing in the from of a net-label but since there is quite a few details about that to be said, I'll talk about that in a separate post. Until then…

More news!

I also finished a new song and a remix also since the turn of the year.

The new song is called "Gudrun Och Andrej". Its actually a song I've been working on for about 6 months but I had shelved it because I wasn't happy with some of the guitar parts. Then one day just after new years I decided to give it another bash & I'm very happy that I did. The new guitars I added make it sound much more "live" than it did before. I also added some singing that I think adds a another flavour.
You can hear the track as I uploaded it to the player on this page just now. So give it a listen & as always, tell me what you think!


The remix I talked about was another one for my man Radio Scotvoid. As I have tackled a track of his for every remix album he has released, he asked (or demanded) that I do one for this as well. I choose the song "Dooshbag (Stop It Mix)". This of course is from the great ep "Fragment (Consider Revising)"
As always when I remix his tracks I take a couple of excerpts then go in a completely different direction although, I did use his vocals a lot more this time around. I think overall it sounds like something you would hear when watching a film or short movie……but still very Small Colin.

You will be able to hear this remix soon as I believe it will be released with 12 other remixes on Earth Monkey Productions in the close future. I'll post more details when I have them.

Happy New Year!

So apparently this is my first post of 2009! For once it is not a case of me being lazy, it's actually on account of me being busy (if you can believe that).

Ok then, what has been happening? Well, I have been working on a lot of new songs & I completed all 4 of the songs for the "Le Migre" ep.

All the newer tracks are now almost at the Logic stage in the life. By this I mean thay are ready to be tracked & produced properly. I think I have about 4 songs in total that are at this stage. Some working titles are "Typhoon Forecast & Wayward Drama" These two are my favourites at the moment. Both will definitely benefit from some vocals, possibly some guitars & maybe even some live percussion.

For the "Le Migre" ep, I have now handed over my last input to the whole process. I'm not sure if I've explained what this project is about beforehand but I shall do now again just incase.
Basically a long while ago myself & a guy called Scott Buchanan (who records under the name Radio Scotvoid) decided that we wanted to work on some tracks together. We both chose two sketches of songs that we had lying around & sent to them on. Then after working on each other tracks (adding instruments, editing, etc) we would send them back to the other to do the same. This process was carried out possibly 4-5 times so far. Now though, we both agreed it was time to call an end to the editing part of the process. So as long as Scott is happy whith my latest efforts he will start the mastering as soon as humanly possible.
The whole ep will be (hopefully) released soon on a net label so that means people can download it for free. Obviously we would prefer to sell the songs but sometimes raising our profiles is more important than making money. I'm not exactly sure when it will be released but I will post a blog when it happens for sure. Watch this space!!!
