• Released a free Jet Jaguar EP via Angry Rabbit
  
• Stuart and I released a free Malty Media EP via Monotonik
  
• Spent 22 hours DJing DEEP
  
• Spent 50 hours DJing the Malty Media show with Stuart and various other friends - with a conservative estimate of 100 hours prep on top of that, given how much remixing and original stuff we do for each one.
  
• Had a video entered in the Handle The Jandal competition. You can watch it on Youtube or download the whole thing via my downloads page. Thanks to Ned Wenlock, who did all the work.
  
• Redesigned the Malty Media site
  
• Shanan and I finished 3 Montano tracks and had a US label express interest...
  
• Remixed 'The Raft' by Fat Freddy's Drop. Not yet released.
  
• Remixed 'East India Company' and 'Distant Stations' by Group Five. Not yet released, but I played out the first of them on a sea-themed Malty Media show.
  
• Remixed 'Jamoi' by Tomorrowpeople. Not yet released.
  
• Remixed 'Finding Seeds' by Build Buildings. Not yet released.
  
• Remixed 'Beso' by Aether. Won't ever come out, as it was a competition where only the top pick was released. Apparently I was the artist's second favourite, but I still wouldn't have bothered if I'd known it was only one track seeing release. Anyway, got some good beats out of it for another track. You can also hear the thing on this Malty Media show - I was coy about naming it so it just says "Discrete remix".
  
• Wrote an entire album in 24 hours as a challenge. 'Liztldorf' was the only track that was really any great cop, but it was fun to do it.
  
• Wrote some pieces for a kids' TV show.
  

Onwards and sideways...

I've spent a huge chunk of my music-making time this year trading tracks and preparing shows with my old mate Stuart - a project we foolishly called Malty Media. The net label Monotonik has just put out a second, free EP of our "original" material.



You can get the thing and read Stuart's write-up of each track on the Malty Media website.

Check out the new look of the site while you're there and/or sign up to be our Facebook fans. I don't usually write all the ins and outs of our shows etc. on nonwrestler.
