Sultan & Ned Shepard - Post All You Know (Setrip MP3 Sample Included)

About a year ago they came onto the scene but as yet I've yet to hear anything released. Namely their absolute cracker Aiden, a setrip version here for you to listen to if you've not lready heard it.

EDIT: Link removed at the request of Sultan's PR company

Any info on this track or the artist(s) would be great.

They've been on the scene (Sultan especially) for more than a year for sure...

I just saw Sultan, Tone Depth and Ned Shepard last night here in Montreal, together rocking out. Was a great show from some of our more worldly local djs...

Sometimes it's a bit too pianoy proggy for me, but some really nice stuff as well. Also 3 very very nice guys!

Thanks for your input guys. I appear not to have made myself entirely clear.

SMC, your links to the discogs don't show me any evidence of them working together before 2006.

You say that they have been around for longer. This is true. But working on productions together? My words were:

I was actually talking about them as a collaborative entity, rather than lone artists.

Now that we've established that, does anyone have any input on the release of these guys productions which they have been working on since last year?

Named as Sultan & Ned Shepard they haven't produced anything prior to 2006.

Like the Timelords and the KLF: although the same people, they released tracks at different points in time.

So - do you know when they're releasing tracks that they produced under the name 'Sultan & Ned Shepard'?

No, i don't. I just thought you could be interested in their previous collaborations.

Cheers for you help thus far......

What are you doing differently in the studio compared to before?

A lot has changed in the studio in the past few years. When I first started producing I was working with Cubase. I am now an avid Protools fan and I've just recently begun working with Logic Pro as well. Each program has its own strengths and definitely influences the final product. In addition, I have added a lot more synths to my studio, both hardware and software.

On the production side I am collaborating a lot with my good friend Ned Shepard. When we first started working together we both had our way of working but after long nights and weeks in the studio we now know each other�s strengths and we play to them. We�ve also learnt to sit on our productions, let them ferment more and really take the time to perfect our vision rather than rushing to get a track done for a release.

How does your latest single with Ned Shepard 'Connected' reflect the above changes in the studio process?

'Connected' took us about four months to completely finalise. The basic backbone of the track was laid down in a week, however, we took our time finishing it as we wanted to make sure we were happy with all the sounds, effects and most importantly the vocals. It was challenging for us to make a track that would have a big impact on the dancefloor and less of a melodic edge. Both of us are musicians attached to our instruments of choice, mine being the guitar and Ned the piano, so it was difficult to avoid playing the lush melodies and leads. Ultimately 'Connected' is a reflection of the impact that DJing has each had on us and the different sounds and styles we have been influenced by over the years.

Do you understand the meaning of the word prior?

I said they haven't produced anything prior to 2006. That means they have produced tracks from 2006 onwards.
