8 bit

My Mix for Diplo and friends on 1Xtra and Radio 1.

Had a lot of fun with this, a bit different to a usual club mix I would put out.. The last 20 minutes is a compilation of 90's D&B tracks from my youth that I have been looking forward to putting in a mix to inspire me to go to the gym!

A few extra bits that were cut for time (Directors Cut) but the majority is a direct Radio rip..

Roy Apron's Two Theories EP is available here: http://royapron.bandcamp.com/album/two-theories-ep

Oh and I had to record the voiceovers on my Laptop mic under a duvet, if I was too loud it distorted, so if I sound a little under enthusiastic, thats probably why!

Bonus points to anyone who can point out and name the Lucio Fulci film quote.

A recording of my set from the Blood Music Night in Room One at Fabric on 21st of September 2012.

Night was already quite banging by this point so decided to keep it upbeat and dancey! For some reason, even though I knew it was being recorded, I still decided to play a bunch of rough untested demos and edits, as you do... Perhaps some of these will come out in some form in 2013..

Boy 8-Bit @ Blood Music Fabric Room One -  21-09-2012

Some old Amiga Jump up.

Slight over use of the Chemical Brothers Elektrobank sample, which would date this at some point in '97.

Starting to get the hang of arrangement here.. Maybe.

My remix for my good friend Ghost Lakes.

Something a bit different..

Calvin Harris-Feel So Close (EC 8bit Arrange)

My attempt to merge the newschool electronic music and old funky and groovy music. Hope you enjoy it!

Say it

My attempt to make some 80's / 90's electronic music, with few modern elements.
