@fastram your selection is sick 😱Can I have the track list ?

Using an Elektron Octatrack as a mixing, effect and resampling unit, paired with two Amiga 600 computers with only 2MB of RAM running PT-1210, a DJ software I develop with some friends, I bring you one hour of 90s acid tunes that still slap today.

PT-1210 uses the Protracker module format, which is an open source music file that contains all the samples as well as the song data in one package. It's 100% open: anyone can download, peep inside and if they wish so, re-edit the tunes. Pretty revolutionary for being like 30 years ago.
The filesizes are tiny too, remember these computers have very limited RAM, and all the tune must fit there. The result is played in real time and thanks to our software, can be modified live with performance features like looping and muting of parts.

All but one of these tunes were made back in the 90s too! The sole 2021 tune is a remix I made of a track by my friend Phineus II.

The Amiga computer is a pillar of 90s music production, without it, a lot of the acid, rave and jungle records that were most influential in the rave scene of the 90s would not have existed. Like other people who didn't have enough resources to buy other equipment, I also used it to take my first steps in music making.

Offering sampling capabilities at a mere fraction of the price of even the cheapest sampler at the time, and being pretty similar in sound and spirit to the Ensoniq Mirage (both engineered by the same person), the Amiga was a very tempting platform to get started in electronic music creation. Its 8-bit resolution can be a huge asset in the right hands as the tunes played in this mix prove. Also who doesn't like some low bit crunch?

It has been famously used by artists like Urban Shakedown, Patric Catani, Axwell, Plaid, Equinox, Paradox, Bizzy B, Omni Trio, Ural 13 Diktators and many more, and currently has been revived by a new wave of jungle producers like of Boy 8-Bit, Kid Lib, Phineus II, Dev/Null and others.

If you like what you hear and want to support my music work (including development of PT-1210), please give me a follow in the following places, and also consider buying some music off my Bandcamp page. I'll be forever thankful.

One third of Livity Sound draws for unreleased heat. 

Kowton’s first singles came under the name Narcossist back in 2008-9 (he also delivered a FACT mix back then), but it was after settling on Kowton as his full-time name that he stepped up his productivity, releasing a succession of singles on labels based in his then-hometown of Bristol (as well as an often-overlooked pair of trips to London’s Keysound) and forming the Livity Sound collective/label with Peverelist and Asusu. It was this period where he started to really find his own sound, combining dub-style delays, grimey strings and distortion on tracks like ‘TFB’ and ‘Des Bisous’.

Presumably due to the development and popularity of Livity Sound’s live show, Kowton’s solo output has slowed down over the last couple of years, though he released the twinkling ‘Glock & Roll’ on Whities last year, and this month dropped a new solo single ‘On Repeat’, which combines wide-eyed rave chords with the sort of colossal drums that feel like classic Kowton. His FACT mix, he tells us, “sums up where I’m at right now musically: music for dancefloors that stands up to repeat listening; rhythmic and repetitive tracks that are heavy but don’t shy away from detail. It’s mostly unreleased and I’ve tried as best possible to piece all these angular sounds together in a way that flows but also gives variation. I think it just about works.”

“Many thanks to everyone thats sent me this amazing music, I’m grateful to know such a talented and generous bunch of producers.”

FACT MIX 515

The next mix in our series is from mysterious producer Bit Folder who made his debut on Sheffield-based imprint Central Processing Unit earlier this month with the ’Silicon Frontier’ EP. There’a a divide in rumours about the producer, some say it’s a young new artist whilst others think it’s an old head producing under a different moniker. Either way, their first EP is a bold contemporary take on 90s techno and IDM, drawing from classic early Warp sounds, FireScope and Rephlex. And these sounds and influences can be found throughout Bit Folder’s mix, giving a bit of an insight into the mind of the anonymous producer.

Broken Borders w/ Jeroen Erosie

Much like the lone ray of sunshine finding its way to your window on an overcast day to brighten the mood, Timothy Crombie a.k.a. A Psychic Yes’ forthcoming release, "That Swamp Feeling" on Schloss Records has had quite the same effect. With prior releases on Kalahari Oyster Cult and Tech Startup, the British producer is growing and perking ears up around the scene. 

"H Unsolved" is our pick of the litter for today’s premiere. With musings of K-Lone's Wisdom Teeth label dancing around our respective heads, it’s hard to pass up on this style of music. The snares, melodies, and drums all jumping in and out of focus seemingly at random but maybe not?! As if each musical element is a precise brush stroke that contributes to a larger coherent musical picture.

"H Unsolved", and the rest of That Swamp Feeling EP will be out on the 6th of November, and we highly suggest listening through.
