Key 13 Uncooked
I've finally bitten the bullet and overhauled my Faircamp site, updating to the latest Faircamp and moving it to a new server in the process.
As part of the move, I've removed a bunch of old singles which have been replaced by (I hope) superior versions on Pretentious Incongruity, and also decided to replace the old Archive release in the process, as several of those tracks also ended up remixed/remastered.
When looking for tracks for the lobby for the recent #BonkWave release party live streams, I ended up going a long way back into my SoundCloud archive, and found quite a few tracks that I want to keep hold of in a slightly more accessible way.
Uncooked
I came up with the idea of a series of Uncooked releases. These won't have any remixing or remastering, they'll just be loosely themed collections of the archive tracks as they are now – in MP3 and streaming only. But instead of just being on SoundCloud, they'll now be hosted on Faircamp and also available for download for the first time.
I've got five (!) of these releases planned, each with 7 tracks.
Volume 01 is sub-titled Electronic and contains three of the pieces I used in the lobby, as well as a few other tracks from the last five years – including a couple that are relatively recent.

If you look at the Uncooked 01: Electronic release you can click through each of the tracks and see the original SoundCloud comments and the first release date.
[I've also updated the whole of Pretentious Incongruity and Sea · Sky · Clouds so you can click through every track to see the track notes and lyrics]
It's not quite a new Key 13 release as these tracks have been on SoundCloud for ages, but I think it'll be the first time many people will hear them – and there'll be more Uncooked releases coming fairly quickly over the next few weeks.
The tracks from the lobby are:

in reply to keef • • •The new server has a method for blocking some AI agents as I'm getting a bit fed up with them using all my bandwidth and stealing my music files without permission.
And it seems I definitely fixed the federation on my #WriteFreely site so that's good 😀
