Control-S : Blog

Well, it’s been an absolutely mental couple of months for us, as you can probably tell from a) our lack of blog posts, or b) our new YouTube page with some recent studio footage. Yep, we’ve been keeping really busy in the studio for the past few months, and haven’t really had a day off since Christmas, so you can expect some very cool stuff from us soon.

As you may, or may not know, we recently released our latest single with Majestic, entitled “Tonight” featuring the vocal talents of none other than the lovely Clare Evers. That track has been on the go for a long time, and other projects meant we couldn’t release it as quickly as we’d liked, but it’s now available for download from all good download stores, with House, Garage and Bassline mixes from ourselves, TreMoreFire Dubz and Majestic. Check it out right now!

We’ve also been very busy concentrating on a new project which takes us in a totally different direction. We’re not yet sure whether we’re working on an EP or an album, but one thing is for sure this new stuff is 100% ours and we’re really pleased with how its coming together so far! We don’t really know how to class this stuff or what genre it would fall into, but it’s very exciting and it’s giving us a chance to be really creative with our sounds and production techniques. Some of you may have heard our most recent track, nineteen12nine, which we uploaded to our SoundCloud page not too long ago… This is really our first step into this new sound and the EP/album we’re working on; so check that out if you haven’t already and see what we’re working on.

We’re back in the studio tonight to get down to the mix of the 2nd track. Again, it’s 100% our baby - all the music, all the lyrics, everything; so we’re really hyped about it and hope that you guys will like it!

On the Garage tip, we recently had one of our mixes we did for HedKandi featured on the Addicted To Bass 2010 compilation, which is always nice! We’re also awaiting the release of our mix of Aaron Wride’s “Since You’ve Been Gone”, which will also feature mixes from Agent X and Bashy, so keep your eye out for that.

Also on the way is our remix of “Why” by Fireman ft. Hayleigh; an Electro mix we did a while back for Nev Wright and his camp. It’s due for release shortly on Urban Shakedown Recordings featuring additional mixes from Jamie Duggan and Paleface. Again, you can check out a clip of our mix on our SoundCloud page.

Thats about it for now, we just wanted to give you a little update about whats been going on and what you can expect from us over the coming months. If you’re on Twitter, don’t forget to follow us (@Control_S) there for daily updates on what we’re up to, and of course on Facebook. SoundCloud is now our home for any new material we want to preview, so get signed up and follow us there also.

Keep the feedback coming and hopefully we’ll have some new music for you to buy soon!

Much love,

Martin & Lee
