Two New Tracks in works

Model Citizen is currently busy in the studio for the months of January and February. Work has almost been completed on two new tracks slated for a March release if not sooner. The first track will be called Signals and features a hard driving drum and bass line layered with some twisted synths and pads over top. Overall the track has a very hard pro house sound and may be suitable for dance floor activity around 3 am.

MC's second release this year will be a track called Crackers. Mr. Citizen hasn't pulled any punches during the holidahy season. With a relentless baseline and a simple but effective drum beat, Crackers could be the hardest Model Citizen release to date. But why take our word for it. Come check out Model Citizen at his next live show (TBD) probably sometime in February. Sure to be a rocker.

Peace,

Digital Roots

Party Report - Pink Cow

The first installment of Sononah I was at the Pink Cow Wed Nov. 30. The musical extraveganza featured live beats from Model Citizen and Dave & Ezra - who played a killer analogue effects show. On the decks were nth Degree who brought his special blend of old school hip hop and weirdness samples. Also gracing the pink wheels of steel was Kohei who played a smooth concoction of down tempo house. All in all it was a very groovy evening and good to see the crew out supporting everyone's favourite Shibuya dinner hang out place. Tracy has a wicked bar and the food is very good too.

Thanks to Remy for putting on the event. We can't wait to do it again soon!

Cheers,

Model Citizen Live

Hello again. It has been a while since my last post. Apologies all around. It's been a busy month for Model Citizen with live shows and studio work. Model Citizen is playing a live - Wed Nov. 30 at the Pink Cow in Shibuya. Also on the lineup is nth degree, kohei, dave, ezra and others. Doors open early and MC is on from 8 pm. Come on out and support your local acts. Music will range from techno (MC), house, and hip hop.

Also Model Citizen has released their first DVD live album. The DVD is three short videos of the live show at Enjoy House, Ebisu. For a copy of the DVD (FREE) you can e-mail me and I can mail you a copy.

The new Model Citizen album has been put on hold until probably Spring 2006. The studio is finally complete now I just need to learn how to use it!

No news on the DJ front as I've been too busy with MC stuff. DJing just isn't as fun as mashing it up.

I will try and get another post up - after the show!

Cheers,

MC

Citizen Update

Model Citizen is still quite busy in the new studio adding finishing touches to its new track "Amoeba Terror". Once complete the track will be posted online. Just working out where.


On a personal note I was in Nagano last weekend for the annual psy trance event "The Gathering". Overall the event was good although it was a little heavy on the heavy metal trance for my tastes. The weather was as expected total crap but what would a music festival in Japan be without a little rain?


Highlights of the weekend were S.U.N. Project, Shanti and Astrix. Disappointments were Skazi, and Infected Mushroom.


Please check back soon for another update on Model Citizen. Looks like there may be some collaborations in the works with other like minded individuals.

Amoeba Terror

Model Citizen has nearly completed it's brand new single "Amoeba Terror" which was conceived, written and mastered in the brand new Digital Roots Studio. The track will be available for download on http://www.soundispatch.com as soon as we get our act together.
