My contest winning remix of Facts Of Time by Delta is released today on New York based In 2 The Groove Records, and is available through the usual outlets. Alongside the original and my remix are mixes from other contest entrants Monty Carlo, Stephanson, RWinV and Magnus Tailor.

Out today, Lex Loofah and Vanessa Henry’s collaboration, Sunrise, through Red Robot, featuring two remixes by myself, plus remixes from Alec Carlsson, Ricardo Jefferson, Nacim LaDJ and Captain Random.

After going through some old hard house records and remembering what it was about them I liked, I hit upon the mad idea of combining the two. After a little playing around, I discovered it wasn’t actually all that mad, they go together quite well. This is what I’ve come up with – Come To The Light. It’s a really rough render, but I’ve put it up for feedback, so critque away!

I spend a lot of time tweaking patches within Reason to get the sounds I want, so I thought I’d share some of the patches I’ve made. Here’s the first, a self-randomising dubstep style bass using just a Thor synthesiser.

A (quite self-indulgent) selection of 12 progressive and tech-house tunes, including two tracks from my Paradigm EP, out in March 2010 through Red Robot Records, plus my contest-winning remix of Delta’s track, Facts Of Time, out later in the year through New York based In 2 The Groove Records.

Red Robot Records resident downtempo duo Ghetto Mullet have a new single coming out on 31st May 2010 entitled Sounds Of The System, and I’ve put together this little remix. It’s a bit different from my usual output, and has been likened to Joker and Kode9!

It’s been a while in the making, due to one thing and another, but I’ve finally finished my remix of De La Suitte’s second track, N’Mundo, due for release later this year on Red Robot Records. It’s a 127 bpm shuffly proggy breaks reinterpretation, enjoy!

Yes, I know it’s already February, but I’ve been busy. Here’s the first of the Trashed mix sets for 2010, featuring some of my favourite breaks tracks and remixes from the past decade (hear that vinyl crackle!), plus a new track from myself, Beached, which will feature vocals from Warped One of Lunarsea, slotted into the middle of the set.

Following on from our successful collaboration Sexy Face, which was released digitally worldwide by Red Robot and on CDS in Australia by Starcharged, I’ve hooked up again with Will Scarlett to collaborate on a new track, Run With The Flame. Will sent me the vocals, I set to work on the music. It’s a cross-over dubstep/hip-hop/breaks tune and MC Flip T, with whom I collaborated on Welcome To The Future, will be adding more vocals.

I started to remix my own track, Icara 7 into a darker, electro breakbeat mix, but things took an unexpected turn as I experimented with different sounds, and the end result is a progressive house stomper with lush pads and stabbed piano chords.

The single is due for release on 7th June 2010 through Red Robot Records, complete with remixes by Dirty Rhythm Syndicate, Newport based Kinzy and more.

As the name suggests, this is a reworking of an old track of mine. I originally wrote the riff back in March 2003, and the original version was a rather poorly executed trance affair. In September 2007, another version of this track reached number 4 in the Big City Beats contest run by BeatsFactory.com, although I wasn’t 100% happy with the track.

This updated version has wobbly bass, syncopated polyrhythmic percussion and layers of sounds, and I’ve reinstated the massive trance breakdown from the first version.

Update 19/01/10: Updated audio with slightly revised version, and added new artwork, done by myself in Photoshop CS2.

After another spate of remixing other people’s tracks, including a couple of remix contests (I do love a good contest), I’ve gone back and written another new original track. This is the first proper render I’m happy to share, but probably isn’t the final version, I’ll tweak it over the coming weeks and months before I’m finally happy with it.

Growling filtered bass and rolling synths, underpinned by a driving breakbeat. Synths, bass, drums all programmed in Reason, rewired into Acid Pro 7 where the vocal samples were added.

Last one for 2009, here’s a progressive breaks reinterpretation of Stevie Vega’s upcoming single, Slammin’, out some time in 2010 on Red Robot Records. Have a great NYE, and stay safe!

Update 8th January: Slight re-arrangement and re-eqing

Last quick remix before Christmas, this is a track I was originally asked to remix this track by Bennett, Wreked Records head honcho back in 2007. The progressive house remix I put together at the time didn’t do the original drum & bass track justice, so I shelved the remix. I thought it was time I went back to it and had another go, and this is the result of a couple of hours’ work. I don’t know if it’ll ever be released, have to wait and see!

Just in time for Christmas, the December edition of my Trashed mixes, containing my remix of Will Scarlett’s Xmas Spirits and dub of my own track, Midnight, the originals of both of which can be found on the St Nick Sessions Vol 1 from Red Robot Records. Also included are my Progressive Mix of Niki Carrera’s new single, Different Colours, out in January 2010 through Red Robot (with two other of my remixes) and my bootleg remix of Michael Jackson’s classic Billie Jean. It’s a bit more commercial perhaps than my other Trashed mixes, but hey, it’s Christmas!
