Happy Birthday To Me! + Cheeky Minimal Techno Mix

Hello fellow freak & geeks and welcome to my 1st annual birthday message and mix. Just been out to Manchester buying all sorts of stuff I didn't need (trainers [Stan Smiths], t-shirt [Superdry], records & cds [Pinch & Emperor Machine], I would have bought some comics too if they had issue 43 of The Walking Dead) I received some pretty cool stuff too (A book & CD of photographs & music from the films of Dario Argento & the soundtrack to Blood on Satans Claw [not got this yet but it does count!] + peanut M&M's and Erdinger)


Went to see I Am Legend on the IMAX screen at the printworks which was a lot better than I thought it would be, and although not a patch on the peerless original novel or NOTLD which took influence from the novel, was an enjoyable waste of 2 hours.



Anyway onto the mix. To provide contrast with the slightly populist nature of my previous mix this is a full on minimal techno workout that starts off nice and easy before becoming more complex in the middle, adds a touch of dubstep/techno then goes totally mental at the end.

This mix is required listening aboard the Satellite of Love.




& because its my birthday here's a picture of Ween for no other reason than I like Ween.
A lot.

Verfremsdungseffekt The Mixes

This is my version of the I'm sorry I haven't got a clue game "one song to the tune of another". In simpler terms I got hold of a load of Hip Hop accapellas (the rapping without the music) and splashed them liberally over a load of instrumental stuff. Some of it is obvious and poppy as hell but other bits are fairly underground. Its one for parties where you want to please everyone especially yourself. Hope you like them as I worked damn hard putting them together.

Struggling as I am to get my box net to post to my blog I've decided to go old skool on your ass and added direct links to the files.
