DFRNT - Raining In The Streets [New 320 for download]

This track is one I've had for a little while, but I was sitting on it for inclusion on my new album "Metafiction". It turns out however, that there wasn't really a place for it on the album for a number of reasons, so I've decided to give it away for free. You can download it on the tracks page.

DFRNT Remix on king slaFF's new Echodub release

You can now get hold of the DFRNT remix of king slaFF - 'Granted' from Echodub.

Baobinga & ID remixes getting some love.

Found this small review of my efforts for the EP.

"DFRNT has two remixes here, the first substituting Big Beat for Dubstep in his take of The Machine, before he drops a sublime remix of Into The Air, melding atmospheric pads and futuristic beats into a smoke-fuelled work of art, reminiscent of the understated ambience which has brought Burial so much acclaim."

You can still get your hands on the tracks at the Fat! online store.

Baobinga & ID remixes getting some love.

I've just recieved Fat! Records' promo email regarding the forthcoming "Big Monster Dubstep Remix EP" - where the lovely people have written this about my efforts...

"Another new recruit joins the fray, having recently been signed up for remix duties on Hatcha's 'Flippin' (Insectmind), DFRNT has doubled his efforts for Fat! with 2 new mixes offered on this EP. Both showcase his lush, cathedral-like style of dub-influenced Electronica, reminiscent of Aphex Twin in one of his calmer moments. Pushing on the boundaries of the Dubstep genre, these two new arrangements nicely round off a truly eclectic package."

You can now get your hands on the tracks at the Fat! online store.
