In the three years since Andy Hunter's last eclectic batch of electronica, the famed DJ encountered a literal whirlwind of international acclaim, creative advancement and personal growth. From his time on tour with DJ Tiësto (along with several rounds of solo headlining dates) to painting the vivid soundscapes in the studio for his third release Colour to reaping the benefits of a burgeoning family, the turntable wizard turned writer/performer has indeed achieved life's ultimate equilibrium.

"It's been awhile since I've put out a full-length CD, but I can promise you I haven't been lazy," offers Hunter with a laugh via phone from his U.K. home. "It's been a fun couple of years between staying active on the road, writing this album and everything that's been happening in my life even outside of music."

The road to Colour was truly paved with a wide range of life experiences, which first started with his 2002 debut Exodus and the 2005 EP Life (both released through a partnership with EMI and Nettwerk Music Group). Between that pair of projects, Hunter found a steady stream of singles (such as the smash club hits "Amazing" and "Go"), not to mention a slew of major soundtrack slots as varied as the trailer for "The Matrix: Reloaded," "The Italian Job," ABC's "Alias," various Microsoft commercials and even video games (including "Black Hawn Down," "Burnout Revenge," "Need For Speed Underground" and "Enter the Matrix"). Never one to turn down a challenge, Hunter is currently co-writing and producing (with Colour co-producer Robbie Bronnimann) the score to Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed an independent film starring Ben Stein.

The April 2008 release features several self-composed instrumental pieces, which embody yet another inventive edge of this truly versatile artist. "Throughout the past few years, I've gotten tons of emails and hits on my MySpace page from people who've bought my records after playing a game or seeing a movie," he observes. "There's always a credit that people can track down and it's been fantastic to find fans outside the clubbing world, plus now a lot of the key people who place songs are familiar with the name Andy Hunter."
