| Speak Your Grind / Exit Enlightenment Out Now! |
 OUT NOW :: at Beatport, DjDownload & Trackitdown
My latest release is out now on Dead Famous Records along with some awesome remixes from Attack Release and Hexadecimal+Delirium Funk. The release received breaks tune of the month(August) in Mixmag and this is what others had to say:
LuQas "This is a mental release - the 2 originals are just monsters that will destroy many a club soundsystem. I'm all about the remixes though - the Attack Release and the Hexadecimal/Delirium Funk both hit the spot and will be getting lots of plays from me."
Kraymon "FUCK ME. EK "Exit Enlightenment"!!! Brilliant. Will rinse HARD. 9/10"
Marty B "Well what can I say about this release other than BOH! BOH! BOH! It was so hard to choose a favourite tune from these 4 monsters so I just didn't! This whole package is quality right from the get go with Speak Your Grind doing just that, Grinding away effortlessly followed up by the astonishing Hexadecimal and Delirium Funk remix with its smooth lovely breakdown and and punchy drums the tune just rawks. Then we move off in another direction with Exit Enlightenment a bass heavy, bleepy epic more suited to the late night head down business and its remix by Attack Release catering for the 4x4 crew with its glitchy little samples and synths busting out all over the place. 9/10 on this release!"
Steve Maccabe "Both mixes of Speak Your Grind are great, but the stand out for me is the Original of Exit Enlightenment, this is one of the best things i've heard all year and the drop after the breakdown is killer. Will be playing this alot in the coming weeks."
Anarchy Rice "realy feeling Exit Enlightenment - fucking epic!"
B-Phreak "The new EK tracks are absolutely wicked, i will defenetly drop them in my sets, full support!! "
Retroid "Speak Your Grind is wicked!"
Ben & Lex "FREEKIN LOVE 'Exit Enlightenment'....reminds me of times gone by"
Jeroen van Aken "Another quality release from DF! The originals are really hitting the spot, very fresh and original with a decent dose of grind. I'm also likin the Attack/Release mix for something a bit different."
Kickflip "Original of Speak Your Grind is the one for me - techy and quirky, with a welcome garnish of big room rave. Always does the business on the floor!"
Lee Martin (Dusted Breaks) "Lovin both versions of Exit Enlightenment! The Attack Release remix is fuckin wicked and reminds me of a not soo techy Underworld track. The original is perfect for my breaks sets!! Love it!! Will play em both at some point

“…Like all good releases, the album also has a definite progression towards its end point, which becomes slightly techier than the beginning of the release. Then with the final track, ‘Save Me’, which features the Cirque Du Soleil-esque vocal work of Danielle Noel and leaves the listener wanting more. Another blinder for the summer season. “
Inthemix.com.au album Review
“…While many of the leading lights in breaks flounder as to which direction to go, EK knows exactly where hes at and what hes doing. It shows. This is a shit hot album. “
Onion.com.au album Review
“…EK’s ‘1000 Thoughts per Second’ is a great record. The Australian DJ and Producer has crafted yet another gem replete with ass-moving beats and phenomenal bass-lines,…” , “…I'm hesitant to highlight that this is a local release, as it's on a par with any high-calibre breaks record worldwide…” , “…Just in time for summer, '1000 Thoughts Per Second' is a cracker, full of surprises, and yet so familiar, and almost guaranteed to hit the spot. “

| EK lectures Cubase Music Production Course |
 I've been fortunate to join the hard working team at DJ Mixing School Melbourne (DJMSM) as a lecturer for the new Cubase Music Production course. The course is aimed at beginners looking to get into producing and writing their own tracks, and also covers a few little production tips I've picked up along the way. Each student also gets their very own copy of Cubase SL3.
For more information on this course and other course's the school offers check out www.djmsm.com.au
