Slave To The System

Slave To The System is a 12 track release, officially available from 30 November 2018. It is mainly intended for the blockchain, however I have released through the normal channels to get this on additional platforms.

So the plan is to try to post two of these tracks each week over the next 6 weeks and fit them into my post rotation on the blockchain platforms I use.

About this track

'Teeth & Claws' was something that came out of the need to create something with a little bit of a dark feel to it. At the time (back in 2013), I had been creating mostly downtempo chillout tracks, but felt the need to do something a bit more moody and distorted, so I came up with 'Teeth & Claws'.

Originally part of my 'In The Middle' single, this has been (very slightly) revamped to feature as the second track on the ’Slave To The System Album’ as well as being rebranded in the format of 'Teeth & Claws [Teeth & Claws, Pt. 1]'.

Not too sure where the name came from originally, whether it had just been conjured up inside my head from listening to the track, or if it was when I used to watch a lot of repeats of Being Human on BBC3.

Anyway, a couple of years later I tried to remix this track after playing with one of those PPG synths and whatever drum machine it was (TR-505?), which didn't exactly go as I had expected; the results were a similar, but created a completely different track. This track ended up being called 'Afterdark', which I subtitled as 'Teeth & Claws Part 2' and was added to my Vampire Bat release (another one I should forget about).

Also while I was creating "Part 2", I tried bouncing down the track to test the levels out, however left some of the channels muted (or was it soloed?) omitting the drums and exposing the FX returns a little more, creating another more ambient variation on the concept. So there is also a “part 3" to this.

I have been thinking of scattering all 3 around a release (like on tracks 2, 5 and 8 or whatever), I think I’ve taken this far enough now not to create part 4...unless of course I make another production mistake with it that I quite like the sound of.

More about Skaarl:

All types of music appeal to me, particularly the more relaxed genres - chillout, ambient, downtempo, trip hop, jazz, latin, IDM, etc. Usually I will create downtempo electronic tracks, although I go through phases where it gets a bit more upbeat, just whatever I happen to be feeling at the time.

Back after taking time away from releasing music whilst at university. Currently working on several forthcoming releases as well as playing double bass as a session musician.
