New Mix: Coalescence

Tuesday, July 14th, 2009

Wow! Well this one was a hell of alot easier to make than the last one.

Instead of trying to tell a story with film samples and a large overarching theme I have instead just let this one naturally progress and take its course. The consequence of this, I think anyway, the transitions are alot softer and more natural giving a good easy listen.

I have called this one “Coalescence” as it contains a rather different mixture of tracks that I have coalesced together. It still has that chilled-downtempo IDM-esq sound that I love so much at the moment with tracks by Jon Hopkins, Trifonic but I have also included some other tracks I have acquired on my eclectic audio adventures.

Anyways I hope you enjoy it, I think its probably my best mix since my Harmonics 1 and 2.

New Mix: Artificial – Intelligence

Finally, finally I have decided to say sod it and stop tinkering with this god damn mix! I have been making and remaking this thing for the best part of a year but I can still see the rough edges. Its been driving me quite literally mad! Having said that however I have enjoyed making it, else I wouldn’t do it… right?

Anyway the idea was to have a two part mix, a more downtempo one and this one (coming soon). I have tried to tell a story with this mix, using both samples from a certain famous movie and through the track selection and progression. I have gone for a deeper darker sound than my usual harmonics light and easy to listen to sound. I dont imagine this one will be as popular with most people but I hope some will enjoy it!

Paul Oakenfold’s Urban Soundtracks

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

As I enjoy both trance music and audio books, so what could be better than mixing both together?

This is an interesting project by one of the master of electronica Paul Okenfold. Some of them work better than others, give them a listen and let me know what you think :)

Paul Oakenfold’s Urban Soundtracks – Selected passages from narrated stories such as; Alice in Wonderland, Frankenstein, The Fall of the House of Usher. Narration is mixed with music, mostly trance/electronica, to enhance the story. Heard on Galaxy FM

This is one of my favourite tunes of all time, glad someone has covered it, even if the quality of the video is crap. Hopefully someone one will do a better version :)

Artificial – Future Harmonics

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Its been quite some time indeed since i have released a mix so i decided to make another one. This one is a culmination of several weeks work and im pretty proud of it.

Its hard to describe which genre this mix falls into, as the name suggests i was going for a harmonics style mix but with a more edgey, IDM type feel to it, not sure if i succeeded, but oh well.

Didnt manage to fit all the tracks i wanted into this one so they may be a simmilar mix on the way in the near future :)
