Audio Out

If my Mac didn’t crash and burn my mixes every time I looked the wrong way there would probably be more content here. As it stands you’ll unfortunately have to make do with some of the previous mix attempts that didn’t quite make the cut in the past. Service, of some sort, will be resumed by the end of next month once I upgrade some errant hardware.

Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been able to find 2 of my holy grails on vinyl, one is terrible but I wanted to scratch an itch with it. The other is potentially interesting, but I’ve only ever seen it for sale for plenty much dollars and I’m not even sure I’ve found the exact version I was after, I’m putting quite a lot of trust in someone that hopefully transcribed the catalogue number correctly.

Anyway, we’ll see.

Today’s mix is brought to you initially by the fantastic Back In The Day by Claro Intelecto, and is based in part on the sounds of my head in 1989/1999/2009.

Outcast

Next week! 6 hours of me on youtube dancing to juke devised by my three year old son in conjunction with Korg iElectribe for the iPad.

This started as an exploration of tracks that sampled Lyn Collins’ – Think, but it has kind of morphed into something a bit crazier than that. Although to be fair all of the tracks included do sample the track in question, they’re just from genres which are perhaps too diverse to be comfortably stuck together but I think that’s where I’m at these days. And I had fun making it.

A more refined and defined version of this one will follow in a future post as I get more familiar with the toolset I’m using and get the balance right, but this is a rough mix just to fill some space just now and get the numbers up while I figure out my groove.

Think

Includes, but not limited to :

Slick Rick – Children’s Story (Knock ‘Em Out the Box Mix)
Soundmurderer & SK1 – Call Da Police
Underworld – Ring Road (Fake Blood remix)
Dizzee Rascal – Pussyole
The Real Roxanne – Roxanne’s On A Roll
Roxanne Shante – Go On Girl
Kid 606 – The Illness
Origin Unknown – Valley of the Shadows
NWA – Appetite For Destruction
Wagon Christ – Saddic Gladdic

I should probably lay off the turbo nutter drum and bass/breaks in future to this extent but the whole thing overwhelmed me a bit. Also, I apologise for the end if anyone manages to get there.

Next week! Four hours of the Amen Break! It’ll be just like living above Luke Vibert’s house.

Err, hello. You may remember there was once a blog here, the old posts are archived and might reappear in some form in future but for just now:

I did once hope to get back to messing around with music posting at some point, and I wanted to take things in a slightly different direction in doing so. My longer term plan was a podcast of some sort, and as such I’ve created a mix (well, one that I’m reasonably happy to share) that may serve after much playing around.

The theme for this one is pianos, in particular the rave/toy piano of the early 90s. The track list is mostly lost to time due to less than stable hardware that really needs to be improved before moving forward with anything akin to a serious series of posts.

So, for the moment please consider the following two hours of rave pianos to be my summer special of sort, perhaps ideally suited to a long, late night journey to somewhere warm. Like your own personal hell.

Anyway, without further ado : Pianos

This one contains many rave piano tracks of yore and IIRC there are about 30 tracks contained within the mix, almost all from 1986-1996.

Please forgive the occasional moment of club footed mixing, and the odd track that outstays it’s welcome but there are some neat parts contained within (there is a Phuture track which mixes neatly into a recent bootleg remix of a seminal 90s track which sounds good, but the source audio is weedier than it should be.)
