Spotify The Pigeons

I don't have access to Spotify, but my album is now on there for you to go and listen to. If you do have access, can you send me an invite token so I can check it out.

In other news - well - I don't really have any at the moment. I have been trying to start work on the next ATP record but feel a bit stumped so I've been doing lots of DJing in my little Pigeon Music Room ...

Future Mixes

Well my little 15min mini mix has gone down very well today - I think this may become a monthly occurrence.

Radio Interview & 15 Min Mix

Just a quick one, about a couple of things:

1. I am doing a radio interview tonight on Horsham's Trash Can Radio Show 8-11pm
http://www.binliners.co.uk/HTCR/imdex.htm - listen here from 8.


2. I made a 15 minute party mix for a competition run by kissy sell out. I quite liked it, so thought I would share it with everyone.
http://www.zshare.net/audio/64379199bd9de5c2 - is the link you need. You can listen online or download and keep it.


Lots more going on at ATP HQ, so keep reading the blog, and if you have not done so yet, buy my album here (cd) or here (digital).

Thanks

MTBYTT - Officially Out Today

The album is now 'officially' out on CD and iTunes.

There have been some great reviews coming in over the last few days and some really exciting things going on with some of the tracks and ATP in general. More on those over the next month.

I feel there is still a long way to go, the single did not get much national airplay - so if you have time please email the DJs on Radio1 and 6Music saying you heard my stuff and they should be playing it.

Also - I am still lacking the ability to take this stuff and play it live - I need more gear and time to rehearse - so my focus I think over the next 6 months will be working on ATP live. Alongside that I hope to have a few new tracks ready for an EP next year, this new stuff will hopefully be a little less experimental and more concise.

But for now - thanks to all who have got the album so far - if you have not - WHY>?

Reviews Begin

So the album is 'officially' out next week and a number of reviews have started being published. On the whole these are very positive.

I always knew when I released the album that it would not be everyone's cup of tea and it was maybe a bit of a risk releasing a 16 track album that jumps from here to there and back again via Nijmengen.

I think that's one of the things I like about the album; it is very varied.

I knew as soon as I finished MTBYTT that I wanted the second album to be a departure from the first one. The debut is a teenager trying to find their feet in the world, experimenting with styles, looks, sexuality and drugs. The second album WILL be a more mature young adult - sure of themselves and where they sit in the world.

This probably all sounds total and utter Bollocks to you the dear ATP reader - but I know exactly what I mean, and, I can assure you when 'Get Amongst It' comes out in 2010-2011 or maybe even 2012 - it will be amazing.

In other news I have been asked to DJ in Poland in October - in front of 1000 people - fuck me how cool will that be!

Ok - so back to reviews ... here are some so far - and please remember to tell your friends, family and jail mates about me - spread the word, spread your wings.

ALBUM REVIEWS:

"Amongst The Pigeons has made a rather lovely album, maintaining a distinctly unlo-fi feel to his dreamy electro-house. It really is the sound of a radiant summer."
Dannii Leivers - The Fly

"A Bizarre collection of electronica propped up with sampled poetry, ticket collectors and random you tube."
NC - Brighton Source

"BRIGHTON-based dance DJ Amongst The Pigeons has scrubbed up well on his first offering. On first listen you wonder where the LP is going, meandering about in a world of blips and subdued beats. But then the individual tracks get you - like the fantastic lo-fi Frank Turner collaboration Larkin or smile-raising weirdness such as Bird Flew - and you realise that Music To Brush Your Teeth To is like one long quirky interlude from start to finish.."
Isaac Ashe - Sound Advice
