Label info: It has been five years since my last solo Mr.C EP, having focused my song writing attention during this time on working with my production partner, Adultnapper, on our Sycophant Slag's projects. As Mr.C, i wanted to make three tracks that really reflect where I'm at these days as a DJ. As always, this meant working in minor chords to get the depth i desire in my music. In the 22 years that i've been making house & techno music, i've always used an engineer, that is until now, so this project was also about me learning to use Logic & working alone. The EP has therefore taken me the best part of 8 months to make, working on these tracks in many short sessions, which has served the dual purpose of learning to work alone & making an EP that i can be proud of.I started with Waxing (working title Waxing Moon) & wanted to go for that deep after hours vibe. It had to be spaced out yet soulful, warm & rich, so with the tempo set at 122bpm, i started with a simple rhythm & then started layering deep chords & bass line with spaced out tones. The track soon took on a life of its own and directed me into making what you hear now. I've always written in this way and I'm a firm believer that the best tracks really do write themselves. On completion of Waxing, i kept hearing lush strings, pads & beautiful melodies on the track, which are a signature of the Mr.C productions, comparable to my only solo album, 'Change' on End Recordings. So when i started working on Full Moon, i had the idea that this was to be an EP of three versions of the same track but all with very different purposes as DJ tools, rather than three completely different tracks. With 'Full Moon', i slightly changed the chord structure of the bass line to make it sit more comfortably with the pads, stabs & melodies i was hearing and am delighted with the final results of this version - a beautiful last track of the night or sunrise piece...
