Nathan Fake - Watlington Street EP, 12"

[Asteroid]

Across the pond from rural norfolk. England, 20 year old Nathan Fake is making his stateside debut with Watlington Street. His first ever EP to be released on SAW.RECORDINGS, in vinyl only. Read on.

Having a keen interest in piano and keyboard music, Nathan has been playing and writing music since his early teens. Describing his music as, "Rock and Roll!" Nathan is a firm believer that all the best music is the stuff that crosses over boundaries. "Like rock that uses electronic elements and vice versa." It is hard to pinpoint Nathan's sound. A mix of a raw ambience, beautiful melodies and edgy prog-tech beats, Nathan's debut Watlington Street is a tastament that no matter how many genres you mix, good music will always come through in the end.

So where did this wonder kid come from? Like almost all success stories, it was a fluke really. Having just started college, Nathan sent out a demo CD to Border Community Recordings in the U.K.; His favorite DJ James Holden's label. As they say, the rest is history... In late 2003, "Outhouse", one track from the demo CD, became the second release on Border Community Recordings and Nathan's debut solo release.

Still studying at Reading University, Nathan has enjoyed the kind of underground success that kids and most professionals dream of. The tracks 'Overdraft', 'Adam Edge', and 'Underberg', three previously unreleased tracks now found on the Watlington Street EP, have been passed around from dj to dj, and have been played by the likes of John Digweed, Nick Warren, and Hernan Cattaneo. Nathan's response, "I don't know where you people have heard all my music."
