I have offered my services to Project X Presents for their the show they are putting on during Feb (22nd to be precise). As part of the marketing of the event I was asked by Rob from PXP to send some history and a photo. I duely obliged spending an hour or so writing up the stuff I remembered doing. This then turned into a series of emails back and forth as Rob generated something snappy which captures the essence of the last 7 years worth of Arcade work.
We then agreed that this would make for an interesting article which may help others writing marketing material for themselves or other artists.
The email trail can be found here: http://www.projectxpresents.com/node/128

Being as everyone loves a freebie, I have knocked together a short track which is intended for use as a ringtone on modern mobile telephones. Below are links to both the MP3 and AAC formats. I have not been able to test the AAC format on another phone, so please let me know if it works.
Anyway you now too can have people look at you oddly when you mobile phone starts ringing – just like me.
Good Times

Slightly abstract title I am afraid and it is slightly old news, but worth mentioning none the less…Friend of Klunk, Loopz has had one of his tracks re-worked by Long Range (ex Orbital brother Phil Hartnoll and creative partner Nick Smith). The song Punky is silky smooth chilled piece of electronica and well worth investigating. It features as the last song on the album "Madness and Me".

To purchase Punky through i-tunes click below…79p well spent:

I just stumbled upon this video shot and created by Leon at Patrick Kavanaghs in Moseley…The video reminded me of the argument held about the noise with the management (watch out for the very angry man). Needless to say they didn’t ask us to return.
Sorry PK.
