Active Child recently finished his debut LP You Are All I See, set for a release on August 23. He paired up with How to Dress Well on a track for the LP titled Playing House, which is a match made in dreams. Last week Active Child tweeted “this aint no bedroom record”, this track definitely proves that. Blows me away.
At first I was a bit averse to hear Active Child trading in his harp for the drum machine, but now I just can’t stop listening. Killer hooks, sultry croons, and that combo with How To Dress Well. It’s pretty clear that Active Child’s first full length will be one hell of an effort. August 23 will be a good day.
As the cold wind of winter’s icy breath touches the back of my neck, the speed of things around me changes. Here is my first mixtape that I have made to welcome in the coming months of brutal cold, lots of blankets, and a giant space heater. It features new, unreleased tracks, some killer remixes, and some awesome older tunes. quite the hodgepodge.
