We’ll be releasing some more new material in the coming months, so keep an eye out!

During December, we’ll be giving away a completely unreleased tune every day for FREE.
Not only that, they’ll be on a virtual advent calendar, so you can get the joy of opening the doors without the guilt of eating a tiny amount of cheap horrible chocolate.
You’ll have three days to download each tune, after which we’ll be selling them in our downloads shop for next to nothing. We’ll post up a link to the advent calendar here, and on our Facebook and Twitter accounts. Keep an eye out!
Update: the advent calendar is here!
We’ve just posted a new mixset on SoundCloud as a taster of what we might play at Digital Analog, at the Volks on the 4th of November (details on Facebook).
Here’s the mix -
