First cold electric album. Nishat and Nick Wong helped me write & record some of the live guitar and bass guitar tracks, and also with the composition of a few songs on this album. 20,000-30,000 listeners downloaded (for free) the album via bit torrent (primarily Demonoid.com) and my website; also raised a few hundred bucks by requesting paypal donations on my website.

Tesla

Dance

Everyone & Everyplace is Here

German Mushroom

Eight Bit

found this incomplete track from my 2013 macbook (with all the old song production files), cool

citylightsky

Just a small taste of things to come... THIS DESTROYS

Wonder and Awe 2.0 (demo + Ben W on drums)

This one's unique cuz it switches between two time signatures: 3/4 then 4/4, then the same pattern is repeated. Maybe one of my favorites. 
All Original - I composed everything and played the guitar parts : )

I am Love

**2/12/2012 UPDATED - I tuned the 808 kicks with the bassline, so this will bump harder and clearer even if the speakers aren't so good : )


A Cold Electric Production
February 2012

Super Mario '12

Yet another all-original beat! I played/recorded the guitar samples and arranged the electronic drums and synthesizers. Check it out.

Breezy Steez

Disqo

When swat soldiers take the initiative. No white face could save me!

Narc Raiders

For this one, I whipped out the bass guitar and the MicroKorg synthesizer; the only computer-generated sounds are the drums : ) The post-production effects-chain is more complex than anything I've ever done before... So that's why it took me FOREVER to finish. Enjoy. Original Cold Electric, bitchz!

Free Energy

Been a while since I last posted anything new; been working on this one since January (2013). All the 1-shot samples and synth tones are custom & all-original.

Purple

Not just art, this is Nature. Notice the geometry of the sounds. The bass drums squeeze and compress the track volume, so it breathes with you. Retired in 2013, upon completion of the task.

I started producing beats (instrumentals) under the alias 'Cold Electric' in 2006; with a background playing guitar and viola in the school orchestra as a kid. The name is a reference to some obscure Nikola Tesla stuff (so-called cold electricity).

The first Cold Electric album (2008, feat Nishat on keys and Nick Wong on bass) went viral on some filesharing websites, after I uploaded it along with a "free for the people!" album description :) It was downloaded 20,000+ times within a few weeks from Demonoid.com.

In Feb 2011, I self-released my second album, Restore the Commons -under the alias 'DJ Cold Electric' - and subsequently finished a couple dozen additional tracks after that.

The vibe blends hip-hop drums, crunchy rock guitar riffs, electronic dance music, and party/disco textures, with a touch of 'old-school video game' flavor, and the occasional funky bassline for good measure. Enjoy! I will not be selling or promoting any of this ever, so here we have it.
