Monthly Notes

What I’ve been making, playing, and thinking about — straight from the studio and the stage.

  • This is Living (Live)

    So, it’s time for some live music. I’m pretty excited to be playing alongside a couple of Sydney’s great live electronic music performers at the next This is Living event: I’ve been working hard at incorporating some of my very recent tracks into my set and looking forward to giving them a whirl in the…

  • Are you finished yet?

    A question I get asked quite often about my music? Especially when I broadcast out monthly “finished” music. Well, it’s complicated! What I do each month is warp up the month’s music and upload it to SoundCloud into (what I call) the monthly Incubator. There it sits, in its rather raw form whilst I listen…

  • Afreekah

    There’s a new release out on 11 March. Some deeper African vibes this time. The label Fine Tune Records says “Afreekah reflects the origins of Steve Pottz’s music with the sounds of Africa.  A pulsing drone underpins the bottom end, with tribal voices and glitched percussion & djembes combining to invoke a Sub-Saharan sunrise.  A…

  • 8.333% Already?!

    So, 2019 is already steaming away from us. A new release out in the first month of the year – a 2 track jazzy house EP called Scat & Hum. It’s available on all the usual outlets and of course, free to supporters on Bandcamp. Here’s a little video of the title track – Scat…

  • It’s a wonderful time to be Camp

    Well, actually it’s a wonderful time to go to Bandcamp… …where all supporters can grab a high quality download of ALL of my releases (apologies to existing supporters, but unfortunately you’ll need to provide your email address again as Bandcamp does not yet support integration with existing supporter lists – it should be a once-off…

  • The Pottz 2018 Scorecard

    A question I frequently get asked is “what the hell do you do”? So with the year all wrapped up, I thought I’d look back at what I intended to do, and what I actually did. [Please excuse the crazy formatting on his post…iPad constructed while travelling, so it’s somewhat limited!] The #1 Goal for…

  • Monthly Notez from November

    Whew-eeee, it’s almost the end of 2018. I’ve been cracking through the production process of late. I’m using ideas that borrow from the Agile software development approach. Shoot me a reply email if you’re interested in the details (warning, only for the geeks out there). Actually, it’s not my idea and if you’re really interested…

  • New Tunez

    Well I said I’d shoot out something with some new music and here it is: Six new tracks, all available for stream and download.  They’re just rough mixes while I let them brew a while before deciding which ones go further. Enjoy!  Drop a comment on SoundCloud with your thoughts – all constructive feedback appreciated.

  • Spring into Action

    Spring!  Already?  I’ve been busy in the Pottz Studio working on a bunch of new music.  Some of it has involved taking the tracks I put together in Berlin and properly ‘finishing’ them – also getting them set-up for my live performance.  I have 40 track ideas from the 2 months in Berlin that I am picking…
