The new single from Catford Gyrations will be released on 28th June 2024, and includes the first brand new material since last year's eponymous debut album.

This 2 track single is available to stream across all major platforms, and can also be downloaded via Bandcamp.

The space age electronic pop of "Land of 1000 presets" draws heavily from charity shop curios of yesteryear. Despite it's apparent analogue facade, it's an ode to how modern technology has provided access a vast library of virtual instruments that would have previously been unaffordable and taken up far too much room in my house. The track doesn't actually contain 1000 presets. It's probably more like a dozen or so, and I may have fiddled with some of the parameters.

PLAYLIST BELOW  - PLEASE SUPPORT THE ARTISTS YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF!

This is my first recording as part of my plan to take a wide range of new and unheard music into venues around the UK to promote the overlooked talent that surrounds us.

My performances in venues will be accompanied by screens showing information and links to each artist as they are played. Feedback and support will be encouraged. It is my aim to integrate live performances from artists local to where each show takes place, once I am happy with how it is running. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this mix and read your comments. If you love it, share it. Let's support each other and make the music scene better for everyone in it. Music and life isn't a competition, that's just a lie perpetuated by wankers who don't want you to be happy.

Thank you,

Will x

Will Farr's Eclectic Mix Volume 1

Track list below, and hopefully the artists will tag their own tracks in the waveform.

                                                 -------

I hadn't planned to make this a regular online affair, but my live shows are slightly held up whilst the perfect website is being conjured from mouse clicks and imagination.

Something of an autumnal feel in this latest instalment of my Eclectic Mix project, and certainly a little darker than the Volume 1 demo. I've made an effort to include artists who didn't feature heavily in the first recording, and I will continue to do that to the best of my abilities whilst maintaining some coherence. It's not perfect, but that makes it all the more human.

Please reach out to the artists if you enjoy their music, and to me if you don't.

I recorded this before my Eclectech mix, and I realise there is some overlap but they are very much two different things.

Volume 3 will come in the Fresh on the Net Christmas break.

In Jimmy Andrex we trust,

Will Farr's Eclectic Mix Volume 3

From Errunhrd's new album, Everything I've Ever Known. 
Recorded, produced, written, and performed by Errunhrd

LYRICS:
I made mistakes and then I've been spent
I ran away and then I've been had
Stay
You say dear
Save
My head

I know in my heart I will go
I feel in my veins I will know
I know in my heart I will go
I feel in my veins I will 

I could stay here
I could stay
And I could stay here
Today 

I know in my heart I will go
I feel in my veins I will know
I know in my heart I will go
I feel in my veins I will know

I know in my heart I will go
I feel in my veins I will know
I know in my heart I will go 
I feel in my veins I will

Everything I've Ever Known

To The Surface

A slow, downtempo remix of Glimmer of Hope, blending orchestral textures with chill beats and trip-hop flavor. It feels like moving through fog: you sense something just out of reach, something hidden beneath the surface. It’s calm, but full of emotion; sad, yet comforting. This is where a true journey begins; not with clarity, but with the subtle sense that something is waiting to be uncovered.

Beneath the Veil
