Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Pitchfork have premiered the first stream from my next EP, a collaboration between myself and Atlanta's Taste Tester. Full link here Lockah / Taste Tester "U Don't Know Me" Activia Benz By Larry Fitzmaurice; May 30, 2013 Scottish producer Lockah is back, this time with Atlanta knob-twiddler Taste Tester in tow, for a new EP on Slugabed's Activia Benz label. The release is called Higher Learning, and it's out June 24 via AB's Bandcamp and July 1 via all other digital retailers. "U Don't Know Me" is a colorful slice of futuristic R&B with a particularly earwormy hook. Edited May 30, 2013 by Tam o' Shantie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Nice follow-up post from XLR8R today - http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2013/05/lockah-and-taste-tester-announce Lockah and Taste Tester Announce Collaborative EP, Share First Single Aberdeen-based bass alchemist Lockah and Atlanta-bred house wizard Taste Tester have announced the forthcoming release of Higher Learning, a collaborative EP for Activia Benz.Both producers have mined old-school house and neon pop music for their own solo productions before, so a proper collaboration manages to not only make sense, but seems likely to have been in the works for quite some time. The forthcoming effort is set to offer four heavily hip-hop inspired originals and a pair of remixes from DJ Booth and Slick Shoota. Higher Learning is due on June 24 via Activia Benz' Bandcamp, and will hit all digital music providers on July 1. In the meantime, shimmering lead single "U Don't Know Me" is streaming below.

Moose Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'll never like this stuff, but the attention you are getting is really brilliant! Especially from something as reputable as Pitchform. Good job, buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Can I tell people I know you to seem cool? I already do that with Aberdeen player Andrew Considine because he was the year above me at school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially from something as reputable as Pitchform. Good job, buddy. Thanks man. It does seem like 99% of the site users don't seem to grasp that stuff like Pitchfork features are a pretty serious deal. Either that or they simply don't care! Likewise with Tuff Wax a lot of the time, I guess. Can I tell people I know you to seem cool? I already do that with Aberdeen player Andrew Considine because he was the year above me at school. By all means, please do. It's good to give something back to the community, even if it is elavated social status through proxy cool-points! Out of interest have we actually met in person?

The Milner Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Your posting on a forum of mostly people in bands, we can all appreciated what your doing is brilliant, even if i think the music is horrible. There is no point in jumping into each of your threads to say as such. Good on you for what your doing man, but unless you know about your kinda music you probably dont know what Pitchfork is, i certainly dont, if its a big deal then all the better for you. Enjoy it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it all Cheers man, I do appreciate that folk don't feel the need to comment. It's just a bit odd that folk don't know what Pitchfork is. Not really anything to do with electronic or club music in particular, it's simply the biggest 'indie' music site/magazine in the world, covering virtually all forms of music with any popular appeal. ANYWAY the press has actually been a little slow on this but hopefully there will be more come release date & the completion of the video for 'Higher' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted June 27, 2013 Report Share Posted June 27, 2013 Maybe im just out of date man, its just not something im aware off. Again tho, keep it up man, your actually doing something with it all, something most of us have dreamed of for a long time, im very jealous!! hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Out of interest have we actually met in person? I don't think so. I did stalk you at a 12-13 new year party, I know Adam and JJ a bit and my ex-girlfriend's flatmate was also pals with your ex-girlfriend. All true stories.
