If you suffer from insomnia or cannot fall asleep, this can be very useful. People hear nature sounds in many different ways to relax, fall asleep or just to calm the soul. 
Natural sounds can also reduce stress or anxiety. Some others use it to study or meditate. Enjoy the rain!

So that you can enjoy the best sound quality, I recommend using headphones!

Want the video that goes with this? You can find it here:-

Enjoy!

1 hour of Rain In The Mountains to help you fall asleep, study or meditate.

Back Again (Original Mix)

Hey guys. 
A while ago i got the stems for the original track "Blind" by Fleur. 
Although i didn't listen to the full original track i loved the vocals in the sections i did listen to. So, i decided to do a synthwave remix using only the vocal stems. The rest is all mine.

Here's the final version, on the youtube link below you'll see i've added video with clips from the 1987 film Mannequin starring Andrew McCarthy & Kim Cattrall to add to the retro vibe.

Hope you enjoy it, if you do please throw me a like, comment and share if you know someone who like it to :)

Thank you!

The original track credits:-
written by Fleur Todd
produced by Sean Douglas

Manequin released by Gladden Entertainment.

Realised the other day i hadn't played any LNTG tracks in a while, so, i thought i'd just put together a quick mix i'd broadcast on Mixify - just using LNTG tracks only.

Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think.

I broadcast regularly on Mixify, at www.mixify.com - search for Buttkick for my page & "fan" me to get auto email updates for when i'm next going live.

Oh, and ignore the random "fade in" at the start, i forgot to press bloody record before i started :P

Hey guys.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to this mix.

This is a recording of a live stream i did on Mixify yesterday.
It was an event hosted by Raggydoll, who set it up for me. I just turned up and did the mix for her.

It's a full on retro 80s feel, with loads of tracks i remember from growing up in the 80s, i'm sure you'll remember lots of these too if you were around then.

For me i wouldn't of even got back into mixing/DJ'ing if it wasn't for alot of the people that re-edited these tracks your listening to here. I gave DJ'ing up years ago. I had grown very bored with house, trance, prog and funky, i'd played those styles of music for too long. 

By chance a while ago however i came onto soundcloud randomly and started looking for some old stuff 80s tracks. I was lucky enough to land on a mix produced by a guy called "80s Child" who i now know as Danny.

When i listened to his mix, it literally blew me away, i had no idea people were taking old 80s tracks and editing them, and making them club-ready, to be mixed properly etc.

Since then, ive found other people that do exactly the same, and got to know some of them, people such as Wonkar (thanks for the Ableton help m8), The Reflex, Rayko, Dr Packer, Shit Hot SoundSystem and the Groove Motion guys. All top class people with serious skills for this sort of stuff. 

They're all here on soundcloud if you've not heard their stuff, i recommend you go check them ALL out :)

So, thanks for taking the time to read this, press the play button and enjoy the trip down memory lane.

Finally a big thanks to Raggydoll on Mixify for setting the event up, getting people to come along etc, thanks Tara.

Cheers to everyone who came, and chatted. I got the feeling people digged the music :)

If you've not heard of Mixify before, check it out, and if you enjoy this mix, look me up under "Buttkick" and follow me there, then you get an email when i set up an event so you can listen in live.

Many thanks guys and all the best!

Cheers!

Howdy Folks

Welcome to my latest mix, live streamed last night on Mixify.com

I found myself a little bored so thought i would throw the decks on and play some funk & disco. Some proper funkeh! attitude going on will a few of these tracks in the first hour :)

In the second i change the tempo up a bit generally, but i have to finish on a classic from probably my favourite band, Chic, courtesy of a certain Dimitri From Paris re-edit.

I've also included tracks by 78 Edits, The Reflex, Disco Tech, Fingerman, LNTG, Coutel, and in particular a wonderful rework of a Nicolette Larson track called Lotta Love, from 1978 i believe, reworked brilliantly by Vinyl Addicted & Jean Claude Gavri, blew my socks off when i first heard it :)

Anyway, hope you enjoy the mix guys, and once again thanks for popping by :)

If you dont know what mixify is, or you want to hear my mixes "live" then go to www.mixify.com & sign up (its free, just an email address needed) then look for me under "Buttkick" under the dj list and then "fan" me.

Many thanks guys and all the best!

Sunset Drive

Howdy all.

This is my latest mix, streamed live on mixify.com on Saturday night.

Unfortunately, this mix fell foul of soundcloud copyright, so ive had to edit the start and remove the intro & the first track (Sandy B) - if you want to listen to the full, uninterrupted mix then go here - you'll get the full intro and first track there:-

http://www.house-mixes.com/profile/buttkick/play/back-to-the-old-skool#.VPNXj_msV8F


I fancied a bit of a change this time, so, i got hold of all my old tracks i used to DJ with back in the 90s in the clubs, all vinyl :)

These are the tracks i used to practice learning how to beatmatch with, back when there were only Technics 1210s and no such thing as sync :P

This was a real trip down memory lane for me, i havent heard, or played any of these tracks for well over 10 years, if not more. I had a smile on my face all the way through this mix, hopefully for those of you that remember back to those times you will too :P

Ive included such tracks as Sandy B, Gat Decor, a few from Deep Dish (look out for Stay Gold with Tracey Thorn on vocals) & especially Una Mas - I Will Follow, that track used to blow the roof off clubs when i dropped that, biggest tune i had at the time - that particular track is my "Highlighted Track" of the mix, so listen out for it.
Ive also included Chubby Chunks - Testament One as the final track of the mix, i heard DJ Lottie play that a long long time ago in a club and it blew me away when i heard it :)

Anyway, hope you enjoy the mix guys, and once again thanks for popping by :)

If you dont know what mixify is, or you want to hear my mixes "live" then go to www.mixify.com & sign up (its free, just an email address needed) then look for me under "Buttkick" under the dj list and then "fan" me.

Heard this track a couple of weeks ago and forgot how good it was. Proper 80s sound, especially the chorus.

Company B - Facinated (Buttkick Re-Edit)

Hey guys.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to this mix.

I've finally gotten around to record a second instalment of my 80s Rewind series. The first can be found here - 

https://soundcloud.com/ian-western/80s-rewind-vol-1

That particular mix got a great reception, and i was asked a number of times to do another one, so here it is.

Unlike the last one, i've deliberately gone for a "lesser known" set of 80s tracks here, or again, songs that are brand new but sound 80s.

Hopefully you'll remember some of them and they'll make you smile when you hear them :)

Enjoy the mix, and again, thank you for taking the time to listen! Let me know what you think in the comments :)

Many thanks guys and all the best!

Cheers!

80S Rewind Vol 2

Howdy guys.

Heard this track for the first time in ages the other day, forgot how good it was.

Thought i'd have a go at messing with it, and this is the result :)

Made it DJ friendly, speeded it up slightly, beefed up, had fun with some filters and added a bit of fluff. Only had the 3 minute version to use so was a bit limited with clean sections i could use. Wanted to extend it to a 5-6 minute version. 

Let me know what you think :) Downloads will be up for about a week.

Hope you enjoy it.

Mike & The Mechanics - Over My Shoulder (Buttkick Extended Re-Edit)

Hey guys.

I'm excited to finally get this mix published! It's taken a little while to get it finished but here it is, a collaborative back to back mix with a mucka of mine Brian, you guys would know him as Pyperb - here's his Soundcloud profile:-

https://soundcloud.com/pyperb

For those of you that aren't familiar with him, we've got to know each other through here for a while now and regularly listen to, and repost each others' mixes and tracks. 

We have a similar sort of taste musically so i thought it would be a good idea to try and "back to back" mix like i used to do years ago when we all used Technics decks, a mixer and nothing else :)

So this is the result, this is a mix where we play a track each and go back and forth between us rather than say half an hour each.

We're pretty happy with it and it was fun to do :)

If anyone else wants to do one of these collaborative mixes then feel free to get in touch if you think our styles would suit!

1. Sasha Primitive - Touch The Sky (Toly Braun Remix) - Buttick

Buttkick & Pyperb Back 2 Back

Hey guys.

Here's my latest offering, free to download (for a limited time only)and to play as you wish.

Can't beat cheesey old 80s tracks :)

I came across this Sheryl Lee Ralph track randomly a while back which i had not heard before, and the chorus / hook just blew me away so i decided to rework it. It ended up being more of a remix by the time i had finished with it though. 

New drums, thicker bassline, new synth stabs and the usual extra fluff :)

Hope you enjoy :)

Many thanks guys and all the best!
