FUNKTOBER - Nice Day

Be Nice

Evening friends, bit later than I expected tonight but I think that's ok considering as this track is literally 10 minutes old, fresh off the export table,  maybe not the final mix of course ;)

Funnily enough, I was going through some old tracks this afternoon figuring out what to put up next, I eventually got so sidetracked I started making a new tune instead😅hah go figure, either way.
I must have come up with this idea a few years back, but as soon as i heard the groove, I wanted to get straight into it, of course sucking up precious hours of working on whatever i actually had planned.

I think that it suits the feel for the month though as I'm just going with the flow and sharing whatever I love.
And i think the overall idea of what this Funktober thing is actually about for me. Don't be afraid to finally let loose with your creations and share them with the world, no matter how fresh they are. I know I have been this way for many years and this is my way of trying to escape the thought pattern that tells you it's not worthy or it's just not worth the time. Because it is. 
Ive always found a  good way for us to improve out craft is to actually put it out there and of put ourselves out there, of course it might not go the way we expect, but that's the beauty of it, in learning and growing your passions , lots of love friends, now go make something beautiful

Everywhere but Nowhere

Happy Funktober Friends!
I hope you’ve all been enjoying the month of new tunes
it’s been quite the expedition but the end of month looms.
Diving into this adventure of sharing music each day,
Will I do this next year, it's so hard to say 
But hey! We are over half-way at least.
But I’m not going to lie, this months been a beast
Juggling this idea and my daily life
I am probably lucky that I don’t have a wife..
But determined as I am to keep you grooving although October
Has it been worthy, I’ll know when it's over!
Thank-you friends for words that keep me going,
The vibrations of love, I know they are flowing!
I do hope the music brings some smiles and cheer
And some reflection of moments that may bring a tear
If you love my music and I have helped strike a mood,
Why not click this link below and shout me some cat food.

A sublime selection of dancefloor beats and downtempo dubs from around the globe, Mixes + Mavericks features seven remixes by Pitch Black, two live tracks that couldn’t be more different in nature or tempo, one seriously unorthodox situation (an unauthorised remix of a remix) and a track in between states, all highlighting the breadth of the duo’s sonic palette.

Whereas their previous Rarities + Remixes collection was predominantly rooted in New Zealand, Mixes + Mavericks is undoubtedly a more international affair, with all the remixed artists hailing from the northern hemisphere. Many of the connections are the result of the duo’s touring and festival appearances around the globe: they first met Gaudi at a gig in Japan, Animat and Nick Woolfson (Sounds from the Ground) at The Big Chill festival in the UK, while downtemple duo Desert Dwellers were encountered in the Californian underground. 

Other connections were more straightforward: Brighton-based Ink Project (run by Kiwi Jez Lloyd) approached them to remix “The End” and Mexico’s Sudden Reverb was introduced by label-mates Deep Fried Dub. Meanwhile Mike bumped into Radioactive Man’s Keith Tenniswood (of Two Lone Swordsmen fame) while he was getting a 7” record cut. 

Uber-producer/Killing Joke bass player Youth features in two very different ways. First up is Pitch Black’s pulsating dub mix of his collaboration with Italian producer Gaudi, from their Astronaut Alchemists album. Then there is his unsolicited remix of epsilon-blue’s 1999 remix of Speech, over which he added bass, beats and blessings.  This mash-up lurked for years in the archive under the title of Helmsdub, but only as a corrupted mp3 file. Thankfully a little detective work discovered that, much to everyone’s surprise, it had been released as Speechless (Big Circle Flat Pain Remix) on a 2004 CD compilation. A copy was tracked down, the tune was carefully re-mastered and then correctly named.

Mixes + Mavericks also features two very different live offerings: Notting Pill is a dose of atmospheric moodiness from a rare ambient set at Notting Hill Arts Club in London, held to publicise the upcoming showcase of New Zealand music at Fabric in 2003. The banging G202, meanwhile, was captured by Andre Upston at Rippon Festival in Wanaka, NZ at the turn of the millennium, and later broadcast on Radio New Zealand. It was a track that, despite being a staple of the live show for many years, was never finished, and following software updates and data dumps, the only version that exists is this live recording.

It's a Future Dub is a similarly embryonic track – eventually it became It’s the Future Knocking, from the Filtered Senses album, but here it’s a fascinating hybrid caught midway between creation and completion. Many of the elements of its future self are present, but there is a whole lot more going on, making this a fascinating signpost on a possible road-not-taken. 

Beautifully accompanied by Tim Prebble's Cyanotype images, Mixes + Mavericks is a showcase of Pitch Black’s sonic diversity as remixers and maintains the trademark production aesthetic that has won them thousands of fans and filled dancefloors around the globe.

"Yurayura" (ゆらゆら) is a Japanese onomatopoeia that describes a swaying or wobbling motion.

Prolific and consistent French producer ØDYSSEE linked with Japanese keyboardist and composer Osamu Fukuzawa for new jazzy instrumental "Yurayura". The chilled track is full of organic instrumentation and layered textures. It's feel-good, laid-back, and a welcome collaboration between two talented artists. 

This single is the seventh release in our 2025 single series with many more to come. Sit back and stay tuned.

At long last... a bit of time to post some mixes. I know posting a bunch of once isn't good practice. I don't care. I love you guys, so here it is.
