This is the debut release for my new project Slake Moth.

It's an instrumental techno cover of a comedy song that encapsulates everyone's current feelings of i s o l a t i o n.

This is round one of remixes; more are coming! Thanks to all the remix artists.

The original song appears in the excellent series The Mighty Boosh.

100% of what I receive will go as a donation to the National Police Accountability Project (www.nlg-npap.org). No email required for purchase.

I've been appalled (though not surprised) by the behavior of cops across America. I wanted to create something to help encourage donations; I will not keep anything that comes in from this release.

Theme for the Pod-Wraiths podcast, a pod rewatching the show Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. This piece is intended to evoke that theme.

The Pod-Wraiths: Podcast Theme

This was my submission for the Low Island "Everything Before Us" remix competition. I was struggling finding something that would stick (I had scrapped three other previous attempts), but on Tuesday afternoon I had put on "The Eyes of Stanley Pain", a mid-90s record from Download, and decided to take a bit of inspiration from it. This isn't as harsh and abrasive as that record, but I think the drum pattern and vibes of the synths through the verse section are a reflection of it.

The bassline is new, but samples the original stem, and the warbly synth is also the original stem, though treated heavily. Formant shifted the vocal line, and in the B-section added a fair amount of Audio Damage's Replicant plugin to it. Other synths are also from Audio Damage, including Continua (lead) and Phosphor (pads), and also the "drum" break that fades in during the B section is the very underrated Axon. Ableton 707 drum rack, with another Ableton pack (acoustic guitar noises, or something like that) providing additional percussion.

Low Island, "Everything Before Us (Slake Moth remix)"

Linda Ronstadt, "You're No Good (DJ Empirical edit)"

The fine folks over at Fang Bangerz asked me to make a theme for their podcast!

The one at the front of their episodes is shorter, this one is the longer version, the sections get to stretch their legs a little. 😆

Fang Bangerz: Podcast Theme (long version)

This one's a Peaks-y pastiche, with classic synth and e-piano sounds, with a little jazzy drums and upright bass rhythm section.

It's the theme for the new Twin Re-Peaks rewatch podcast that's being done by my pals Da7e and Neil.

Slake Moth, Live at PROPR [2023-07-28 @ Hi-Fi, Cincinnati, OH]

This was my first dj set back since before pandemic. I was a little rusty, but it came back pretty quickly -- I even survived one of the decks dying randomly! (during my fave tune of the night, no less)

i've been excited knowing that Plogue's been working on a bit-accurate SID chip emulation, and it's everything i could have hoped for.

This piece uses sounds only from Chipsynth C64 presets. Amazing.

first experiment with Plogue's Chipsynth C64

i made this for my stream, to have music that is a good vibe but doesnt loop.

twitch.tv/djempirical if you want to hear it in context 😁
