So, i will be releasing a new track, called ” I LET HER IN ” on a new label called TENTRACKS in Oct/Nov. TENTRACKS is a music subscription site run by the people who bring you the brilliant free music and arts paper, SKINNY. I think my track will be on the first batch of 10 tracks that are going out. Its a great song that has been up here before in unfinished form.

The TENTRACKS website is coming soon, its going to be an amazing project with alot of very high quality music of all genre’s.
