Gave the latest Hybrid single a good spin, and look where it landed - combined with Way Out West’s “Only Love” this makes for the perfect tune of a summer yet to come. Received some great feeback already.
In other news, I did another episode of Dirty Beats Done Dirt Cheap. It’s an 80 minute trip of tech funk and breaks and the first episode that really deserves the Dirty Beats tag in my opinion. This one was an exclusive set for Kick 106 - expect more of these in the future.
Totally forgot to post this here… of course March was no exception from the Monthly Mashup schedule. This time we have Infusion and Gui Boratto, mashed into a tasteful dish which was hinted in my Dirty Beats DJ set before.
Gui Boratto’s “Take My Breath” away really is one versatile monster - you can throw almost any track at it and it will still sound awesome. At first, I wanted to combine it with the vocals from Hybrid’s “Formula Of Fear”, but Rektchordz got the nod instead, and you all know how that turned out. So instead, I decided for Infusion’s “Dogtown (D-Nox & Beckers remix)” and never looked back since.
When I am not working on mashups or DJ sets, I am doing some original tracks as well. Fortunately for some, I do a lot of mashups, therefore I (unfortunately for others I hope) don’t find the time for working on my own stuff very regularly. But not anymore!
Various Artists | 2010
My own track “Insect” is featured on the “Various Artists | 2010″ compilation released on BineMusic this week. It’s a surprising departure from my usual output, but those who know my previous tracks on the label will hopefully feel familiar with it. The 2×12″ will be exclusively available at the BineMusic webshop, while those who prefer their music in 0’s and 1’s can purchase it through the usual outlets including iTunes, Boomkat, Beatport and others.
For those who never heard about my other work before, there’s an audio sample available of course.
I hereby declare March the official Month of Awesome. Seems like my Rektchordz/Hybrid mashup not only got more plays than any of my previous work, it even ended up on Chris & Mike’s own radar somehow, suggesting on SoundCloud they will play it at some point. Their comment also drew several new listeners to my profile, so that’s a double thank you guys!
But there is even more to come - looks like my Dirty Beats dj set will be aired as Progression Guestmix @ 22:00 23/03/10 on www.kick106.co.uk next week. Hope some of you tune in that evening!
That’s Josh Gabriel’s “Crosstalk” featuring the vocals from Freeland’s “Under Control”. Having picked up the instrumental promo CD last year, I was able to isolate the vocals using some phase inversion. While this usually doesn’t come with a 100% success rate, I was pretty happy with this one.
With two new tracks scheduled for release in the near future, I thought it was time to get my act together and finally start using this thing a bit more. So, hello there, whoever you are.
