My debut EP: Diffusion - 2-step/Future garage

[CoolPhase]

Just released my debut EP, you can listen to it for free on my bandcamp or soundcloud.

It's inspired by the recent UK Garage revival, and so it's in the same vein as many "future" garage/"post-dubstep" artists like Mount Kimbie, Koreless, Darkstar, etc.

I don't know, didn't have a future album planned when I released this. If I get signed/generate enough buzz I might release an album/more EPs. We'll see.

Feel free to spread the word among friends, I'd appreciate it.

this is some really sick stuff, perhaps a little boring after a few minutes

if you cut down some of the tracks to maybe 3-4 minutes and made the whole progression a bit more compact, i think you could get some easily signable stuff going on

btw where do you get your acapellas?

[CoolPhase]

Thanks, I'll try that. The acapellas I got from a couple vocal-only parts in two Regina Spektor songs.

I knew the music would be glorious when I saw your influences.

I was proved correct.

You have a really nice style, my one criticism would be its a little superficial in a way, lacking some of the warmth of other FG tracks, but I guess thats normal if you dont rely on sampling a lot.

[CoolPhase]

Thanks a lot! I tend to change style/genre a lot, so in the future I feel I might drift more towards a LA-beats/"wonky" style of production (with a lot of samples, field recordings etc; think FlyLo, Shlohmo). I might try to blend that with garage though; get some "girl next door" vocal samples, garage-style drums etc.

[Blackwheel]

Just bought it ;).
I really love your sound,
relaxing yet powerful.
Brilliant.

[CoolPhase]

Thank you very much.

If you wanna go down the wonky route, I'd recommend copious amounts of Hudson Mohawke and Rusty. They are both amazing artists.

Yeah, I've been getting into Hudson Mohawke lately. Amazing stuff. I'll check out Rusty too.
Thanks for the suggestions.
