July News

These don’t really get updated very often and so in the 51 weeks of the year that I probably don’t have an EP coming out it’s an easy assumption to make that I am lazy and not really doing anything.  At least part of that is not true.  Some of the things that are happening round our way at the moment are:

- Making lots of remixes.  9 since March, and they are almost all done now.  Keep an eye out for them as they get released.

- Writing new music, for a new single or EP.  It’s hard to say right now, but the aim is make everything bigger.

- Doing some sessions with vocalists, which is a lot harder than just sampling stuff.

- Making covers of songs from the 90s.

- Working on some videos.

- Moving my studio from its ancient homelands in Richmond to pastures new in Melbourne’s inner north.  This is max exciting but takes a lot of time.

Indie Shuffle reviews Super Magic Hats EP → indieshuffle.com

"There’s no filler to be found here. “Lush” is the word which keeps coming back to me when listening to this; his creations are so perfectly structured and layered. It’s bright, glo-fi at its best” - thanks Indie Shuffle!

I Speak Music reviews Super Magic Hats EP → ispeakofmusic.com

“Super Magic Hats, despite taking on a well renowned European genre of music, sounds unmistakably Australian. British producers of the same sound create an atmosphere that is quite gloomy and introspective. SMH doesn’t. The EP sounds summery and hopeful. It’s a refreshing quality that should see it find its own place in the electronic music scene.” - thanks I Speak Music!

Just a question, I was wondering why on your Unearthed page you list facebook as your official site. I was wondering why you did that because you have a perfectly good site right here.

That’s a good question! I think it is because when we set up our Unearthed we didn’t have this site, and we just haven’t thought to change it since.  Thanks heaps for pointing that out.

RaRa - Glad You're Dead - (Super Magic Hats Remix)

This is a remix of Melbourne Hip Hop boys RaRa - it’s a heap more chilled out that the original and was awesome fun to make. We did a lot of real instrument playing on this one and it’s a relief/a triumph that it turned out OK. Hope you enjoy.

What's happening?

We have only been posting pictures here up to this point… not entirely sure why.  So what’s new?  Well, we’ve been busy in the studio and are hoping to do more gigs soon.  We have just finished a remix of Pills by Rat vs Possum which is on our soundcloud page and which you can download for free.  How good is that?
