I love drum&bass...  But my first and forever love is Chicago house.  I love it all.  Well, not all- no country or trance.  Apologies.
Let me hear the weird shit...
I couldn't do this without all of the amazing people making music for me to play for fun...  Your talents are appreciated.  I'm not a pro...  I just play music for fun so that I have something to listen to.  Maybe you like a mix.  Maybe not.  Keep listening and the odds are that one will hit with you.  I know there is SO MUCH CONTENT on here and other sites, so the fact that you stopped here, read this, or listened to part of a mix means a lot.  I don't want to play out.  I just want to rock your headphones to get you through a rough day, a workout, a commute- whatever it is you need.
Thank you to the listeners, the commenters, and the sharers...  Much love.
Cheers.

I like to create abstract sound collages/jams and also enjoy engineering visuals (to go with the audio) 



My general methodology?
I think its good to be transparent and talk about how sounds are made
I'm all good not knowing quite where I'm going
I'm also happy ending up miles from where I started
I work in the box (but i do love outboard gear)
I'm a big fan of automation and realtime midi control of all params
I make liberal creative use of eq, reverb, delay, compression, saturation, distortion, pitch shifting and granular synthesis.

I'm kind of ok with some imperfections and a bit of grit in the sounds (although i try to avoid digital distortion)

When folk looked at the gear that Daft Punk used to make their first album they were pretty shocked. It really showed that its about what you do with a thing and not about what things you have.

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.

Procucing with Propellerheads Reason. Most of the basses, synths and drums are self created.  My favourite machines are Malström and  the Predator. I am producing since 2001, but never had the power to  learn about  mastering and those things. 2 years ago i started working on it . Still, the sound is not perfect but i learned everything solo . Now i would be happy about tipps and comments . Thank you all for listening so far...
