Scottish producer Will Atkinson announced the release of a debut artist album titled, Last King of Scotland, which is currently available to stream/download here.

The 17-track highly anticipated debut LP is threaded by Atkinson’s inspirations, nods cues, and connotations. At its core, though the album is a product of Scotland and its clubbing and electronic music history, references to which are both large and subtle throughout.

“This record has been a labor of love. I’ve been working on it for two years, but it feels like a lifetime. It has given me some of the greatest creative highs I have ever experienced in the studio but also it has presented me with periods of frustration so infuriating I could have put an ax through my computer.“

– Will Atkinson

In response to whether the album is a trance album or not, Atkinson says,

“Well – there’s certainly a healthy dose of it – but there are other styles, other influences, other moods, melodies and emotional experiences for you to immerse yourself in too. I love so many different styles of music that it would be an insult not to draw influences from beyond the boundaries of trance.”
