Softwar are 2 body builders from Sydney - Myles Du Chateau & Jeremy Lloyd - and they HAVE FINALLY finished their EP on Future Classic called 'This Time Around'.

As much as we tease Softwar at HOW SLOW THEY ARE they have some pretty serious chops - their debut EP was signed to DJ Kaos' label Jolly Jams, their track ‘Colour Flight’ was hand picked by Kitsune for their Tokyo Mix CD, their residence at Slow Blow at Goodgod, Sydney has got millions of hot fashion girls into deep house AND they've remixed Mario & Vidis and Mitzi – meaning this will be their third appearance on Future Classic vinyl.

When Softwar started sending us demos they often came labeled with odd names like 'keyboard', 'brown noise' or 'good song' - so we had to ask them "What happened to brown noise.mp3 and realgooddemo.wav?"

"We tried to give the songs half decent, suitable names. 'This Time Around' was kinda easy as the lyrics are pretty self explanatory.. 'you got me feeling real good this time around', ‘August’ was made in... Surprise... August! and then ‘Taken Liberty’ was made with honestly no real meaning in mind at all - maybe a reference to some time we spent in New York last year."

'This Time Around' resonates filtery deep funk, soul and house and we're glad it’s finally here and not called brown noise.

At 17, Complex Theory embarked on a journey he never intended to take. In 1999, his mother gave him his first set of turntables, as an early graduation gift, what she really gave him was the gift of expression. Complex Theory aka Jonathan Reeves began DJing in Columbia, SC. His belief in DJing is, "Im always looking to take constructive criticism, and pointers from anyone. The one thing I learned early on was, if you dont listen to what people have to say, then you will get stale, lose the love, and never push harder." Keeping this in mind, Jonathan began branching out to many other clubs in Columbia, Rock Hill, and Myrtle Beach, SC. In 2003, Jonathan grew tired of the normal day to day college life and found he might be better suited for other endeavors in the US Army. "I was working full time, sitting in class, and DJing part time to stay afloat.Oh, and drinking. He enlisted, left DJing as a memory, sold his equipment, and immediately deployed to Iraq from Fort Bliss within 2 weeks of arrival as Military Police. Jonathan said "I was so lost. Here I am, just barely able to legally drink, and now I'm holding a rifle in the middle of Baghdad. I didn't know what to think, except just get home.".  In 2005, while stationed in El Paso, TX a chance meeting led Jonathan back to music. In 2005, while in a music forum, he ran into the former owner of Dust Traxx Chicago. Charles and Jonathan became close friends and encouraged Jonathan to begin DJing again with a mutual friend of his. After a 2 year break, Jonathan was once again drawn back into DJing. He began playing several different venues in El Paso, TX. He played anywhere and everywhere he could just to play. In 2006, Jonathan voluntarily deployed once again to Iraq and never touched the decks again. In 2011, after struggles from his combat experiences, a stressful job as a Recruiter, and no healthy outlets, he once again returned to music simply, as he puts it "to find the closest alternative to an adrenaline rush of combat that I get when I crush a set...except without all the explosions, rounds, and heavy ass gear..." He now resides in Columbia, SC, as a disabled combat veteran and married with his 15 year old son and 11 year old daughter...who is already getting the itch to learn. "My son, Mason, must be either standing next to me when I play at home, or directly behind me, or he's pissed...unless I drop a track he digs and then he's jamming and getting down to it..."
