“Horizon Born (Electric Paradise Club Edit)” is climbing from 11 to 9 on the DAC (Deutsche Alternative Charts) *g* – there’s lots of tough competition though, so we’ll see how high it can get!

I am really happy to announce the release of my new 5-track EP “Horizon Born” today. These are 5 ballads that I am extremely proud of and I really hope you enjoy listening to them.

Head over to the music section and check out the full EP in the online player. If you like what you hear, you can either download it directly from my site or check out all the other options you have to get CDs or mp3s from all the usual suspects … ehm … I meant retailers! *g*

Please let me know what you think of the EP and if you like it please spread the word! Twitter it, write about it on your blog, Facebook, Myspace or all of the above! These days your word counts much more than advertisements or press articles, so if you enjoy my record, please tell your friends about it!

All the Horizon Born EP files are on their way to the pressing plant – mastered audio as well as packaging & booklet files. Looks like the release will be going down as planned with the release date on Friday, October 23, 2009.

The uploads for iTunes etc. have also been done, but they are notoriously slow, so I hope that they’ll get their stuff together on time. If not there’ll always be the direct downloads from Faderhead.com which will include a bonus track, be in 320kbps and have the proper ID tags this time. Thanks to everyone who pointed out the ID mistake. FH3 was the first release L-Tracks ever did, so little things like that can happen. But I made sure that it won’t happen again!

I’m stoked!

After 2 days of editing the Dirtygrrrls/Dirtybois music video is ready for release! Thanks to everyone who participated, far too many people to mention here!

For those of you who know the track – the breakdown is featuring my good friend Ultimate MC, so there might be a little surprise there …

Enough blabber, check it out!

I just spent the whole day coding and uploading the lyrics section for Faderhead.com and let me tell you – CSS is shitting me! I mean, granted, I am probably the dumbest mofo on earth when it comes to coding anything, but this should not have taken 6 hours … I think I really should get back to what I know best: making music.

Speaking of which: I haven’t been in the studio in weeks and I am still not feeling creative. Which is fine. After every album release I get pissed off with electronic music and make all kinds of different music for a few months – and then I have to take a break. So I am chillin’ out mainly, getting to know my new Canon EOS 5D Mark II cam and working on my video editing skills. Now that spring has reached Hamburg, I’ll be working on my BBQing skills too

Good things are coming up though: new shows have been announced for this summer, I am planning an EP release for October and the new album for early 2010. I have a nice little concept for that record and I hope you guys will dig it! At least I am excited about it!

Next up: make a new shirt design for a men’s shirt! Anyone got any ideas? Let me know!

I have recently had a lot of requests regarding “Exit Ghost”, so we put the track up for download on all the major online music services.

If you weren’t one of the L-Tracks Newsletter subscribers who got it for free for a limited time or if you just like the song so much that you want to pay for it (thanks to all the folks who contacted me with that sentiment!!!) then you can go to:

AmazonMP3

or

iTunes

or any other service you may use (like eMusic, Rhapsody, etc.).

Currently working on a new release and also started work on the next album, which I am VERY excited about!
