Like Madlib or Matthew Dear, the many incarnations of Jason Forrest can be hard to follow. One minute, he's just Jason Forrest. The next, he's got a band. And then there's Donna Summer, an alias he hasn't used for a release in five years but under which he's releasing his new album, Panther Tracks. To make things even more confusing, the record is actually credited to DJ Donna Summer.

Confusion aside, we know Panther Tracks exists, contains music, and will hit shelves on March 24 via Forrest's own Cock Rock Disco label. And for vinyl nerds, half of the record is already out. CRD split the vinyl release into two 12"s, and the first came out in December. The second will follow on the same day as the CD release.

Cock Rock Disco is also planning a free MP3-only companion remix collection for Panther Tracks, which will contain tweakings from Glowstyx, Slam, Ladyscraper, Nero's Day at Disneyland, DJ C, and others.

Mr. Donna Summer also has a few live dates to accompany the new studio material. The first is in Forrest's hometown of Berlin on January 19.
