The rise and fall of the Octopus Empire

Mornin lovely Octopus Empire fans!

I have a couple of things to celebrate – the first of which was breaching 200 followers on Soundcloud – my music hosting and collaboration website of choice and the second is a month-long celebration of New Zealand music called NZ Music Month.

So to say thanks to Octopus Empire fans around the world I am giving away either/both of my newest tracks, both of which use vocals from Trifonic – I guess they’re remixes but as always only the vocal parts are used in my tracks. Bandcamp allows 200 free downloads a month so if you like what you hear go grab them quick!

Next, to celebrate NZ Music month – for I am indeed a musician from New Zealand – my bleary-eyed alter-ego Sleepwalker is giving away ALLLLL of his Drum & Bass tracks for free/zip/nada/zero-cents this month. 200 download limit applies again so grab em super quick bass freaks!

Finally if you’re into unashamedly retro 80s synthpop check out my latest remix, of Penguin Prison – Fair Warning. I recommend legwarmers, neon spandex and putting a jacket on over your t-shirt and rolling the sleeves up to the elbows Miami Vice styles.

That’s all for now and some might say more than enough to be going on with!
Big hugs from the Octopus Empire, and when an Octopus hugs you – you know about it!
