All my creations collected together in one place.

Each remix/mashup was created in realtime by "performing it" live using DJ software - in my case the DJ App/Tool "djay" (made by algoriddm) together with a standard DJ controller, though many times the controller was not critical and the apps intuitive touch UI on an iPhone or iPad would often suffice.  

The app becomes the playground to play and experiment with the original source material and other elements in realtime offering an immediacy that simply can't be matched. With djay any sound or music source material becomes pliable putty allowing you to sculpt in realtime: isolate and extract various parts (such as grabbing the vocals from a song), match tempos, match/change keys, layer and build, beat sync, loop, apply effects etc - all in realtime. 

Ideas and structure are iteratively worked out in the djay app with all the final elements assembled there ready to be performed and captured. A couple practice runs and then it's just a matter of hitting the record button and performing it.

For many of the tracks in this playlist there are a whole bunch of versions, some better than others, or with completely different vibes. The INXS track Need You Tonight appears here twice with two very different vibes as an example.

Amazing to live in a time where these tools exist and run comfortably in realtime on a iPhone including advanced audio signal processing AI that can literally isolate a track into "vocals", "percussion" and "harmony" parts in realtime letting you either isolate/solo those parts completely (like vocals), or mute them. Some artifacts time to time, but it's plenty good enough and you can always apply effects and EQ to tweak.

I have half a dozen or so other tracks, including reworks of classic Prince, Bowie, Donna Summer, but alas SoundCloud is refusing to permit those be made available based source detection and copyright, often randomly applied it feels. I suspect if I combine them into a longer single set upload they won't be struck down.

Last, several of the tracks below are part of my Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack homage which you can find here:

Sons Of The James & Calvin Presents "Love's In Need Of Love Today" [Stevie Wonder cover]

Memories are a key theme in the movie - whether real, imaginary, or implanted. The lyrics from the Tears for Fears classic (incidentally released the same year as the movie) work in this context, and more broadly beyond. To be human - what is that? Living with our memories perhaps. 

The track segues into a darker groove which overlays the lead up and moment in the movie where prodigal song meets his maker: Roy meets Tyrell, with his fruitless request to him: “I want more life, f*cker”. 

Overlayed at the very end a motif from Steven Wilson’s “Man of the People” track which brings the track to it desperate, yearning, pragmatic conclusion, where you can’t help but feel for the fate of the tormented replicant.

So I was checking out man like A$AP Rocky's new album, which is said to be heavily influenced by his wanderings in London listening to old psychedelic records and doing acid or something, and what do I come upon but a track called Everyday, co-produced by my old pal Mark Ronson, that samples one of my favourite songs of all time, Python Lee Jackson's Rod Stewart helmed In A Broken Dream.

I actually flipped that record myself a few years back, and its languished in my vaults ever since, so I figured now's as good a time as any to let you hear it. You can get a free download of the thing on my Bandcamp page if you want it for your midnight desert road trips.

In A Broken Dream

What if  incomparably great Agnes Moorehead, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich had  accepted my offer to film them in my version of Charlie's Angels , so this would have been a main soundtrack;)

🌙 “MIDNIGHT FEELINGS” – Soulful Tech House 🌙

When the lights go low, the feelings come alive.
Midnight Feelings is a deep, groove-driven Tech House album that blends warm basslines, soulful rhythms, and intimate late-night energy. Designed for afterhours dancefloors and long club sessions, each track flows with emotion, movement, and subtle tension that keeps the body locked into the beat.

Smooth percussion, rolling low-end, and tasteful vocal textures create a sound that’s hypnotic yet heartfelt — capturing the mood of the dancefloor at its most honest. Midnight Feelings is where underground Tech House meets soulful expression.

🎧 Lose the daylight. Follow the groove. Feel the night.
