Time for another wee Fentek news update for you. Term time has come to an end and gigs in the city are dying down a bit as we wait for the lanyards to take over the city. Despite this, I seem to have got myself a healthy dose of recording and production work over the next month or so.
I recently produced a couple more tracks for Bathgate singer-songwriter, Ewan Butler. We had a great recording session and the combination of Ewan’s performance and the extra parts we added really worked in making the best of the songs. You can have a listen to the tracks below.

Shooting Stansfield have come back to do a new EP which we’re in the middle of recording at the moment. Despite some obstacles to overcome, the guys have some great songs and their playing is much tighter. Looking forward to mixing this one. Watch this space for more news soon.
This week I’ve been mastering a track for a guy called Jason Singh. His solo R&B track, Down To You is a groovy and well designed tune and I’m really happy with how the master came out. Not usually my style but adaptability is the key!
There’s a couple of upcoming gigs I’d like to point out. This Thursday (1st July) sees the long awaited single launch for The Last Battle having signed with 17 seconds records. I love their music so really looking forward to this one, and I’m recording it too. The support acts are top notch as well – Meursault (solo), and Jonnie Common. Get yourselves down to the Wee Red Bar for 7pm to get a piece of this quality Scottish showcase. The end of the month sees the album launch for Mammoeth (formerly Team Turnip), 24th July at the Wee Red Bar. This band is the product of musical genius, Russell Kostulin, who also plays in the Kays Lavelle. Check these bands out. You won’t regret it!
Also on the horizon is another EP for Tony Taylor aka X Lion Tamer. Having produced two tracks for him for his last release, Neon Hearts EP, we’re making a start on his new work in July.
Think thats it for now. Enjoy the sunshine whilst it lasts!

"the master u gave me sounds great. i clearly hear the difference from mine and from the previous you gave me. i really love the crispiness of it and u added so much breath/depth (dont know what is the best term to use for that, full of air i mean :)!!!
