To kick off 2011, RJD2 released two new projects via his RJ’s Electrical Connections imprint. The first is the “Glow Remixes EP”, which he is offering for FREE for the next few days via Bandcamp. The EP includes new mixes of the track from Flosstradamus, Paolo, and Candy Panther.

The second project is from an artist called The Insane Warrior, entitled We Are The Doorways. It is described as follows:

RJ’s Electrical Connections is pleased to bring you The Insane Warrior. In a way, this album could be considered a soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist (at the moment). A strictly instrumental affair, the album “We Are The Doorways” was loosely inspired by horror and sci-fi film scores of the wonderfully fruitful period of 1976-1984. Several things mark this record – for one, there is a departure from the concise nature of most modern pop-oriented records. Expansive, open passages – often with no rhythmic elements – recall the work of both Eno and John Carpenter. These give way to spastic outbursts of energy in places. At other times, the tension-meets-groove aesthetic of Dario Argento’s pet Goblin give birth to some surprisingly funky cuts as well.

While heavily leaning on big, expansive analog synth sounds, angular rhythms, and blissful ambient passages, the record still maintains the attention to groove that RJD2′s label is known for. At times jazzy, psychedelic, and introspective, the exploratory nature of the music shines through. The Insane Warrior’s ‘We Are The Doorways’ is yet another unique landmark in the growing catalog of RJ’s Electrical Connections.

The album is up for preorder now on CD and digital formats for a February 1st release. The track “Then You Hear Footsteps” is also available via Bandcamp for free download.
