Haul Music Release:
Craig McWhinney – Penance EP
https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/233497/Penance
Craig McWhinney finds himself at the crossroads. Like Icarus, who flew too close to the sun in an escape attempt from the Island of Crete, Craig too must be careful not to let the wax melt from his techno wings as he makes his escape from the cultural obscurity of the Melbourne Techno Scene.
After lapping up the significant praise that came with the inclusion of his “Soft & Warm” Remix of Christian Vance’s “Chase The Night” (HAUL004) on Carl Cox’s Global Underground CD, and a subsequent spot in the top 30 on Beatport’s Techno Charts, Craig has enjoyed for the first time the kind of attention usually reserved for beautiful celebrities.
But he must work harder than ever now to resist these unwelcome distractions. Craig’s next step must be calculated and direct… for the vultures await his fall from grace. If he flies too close to the sun, his local peers will think he’s a wanker. That’s the Australian Way. Tall Poppy Syndrome (look it up, people!) can be a bitch in the Sunburnt Country.
However, if he over-compensates for this phenomenon, and sticks too close to the proverbial sea (in other words not reaching the lofty heights he deserves because he’s a pussy), then his label mates Mike and Christian will think he is, well, a wanker.
In other words, he’s screwed either way. You’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t eh, Craig?
As such, this next EP “Penance” feels like some kind of apology. Is Craig already asking for forgiveness? And from whom?
This time his confessions were heard first by Pinksilver’s dynamic duo Forty6&Two and an exciting new talent, Melbourne’s Andy Hart.
Now is the time for your judgement.
