Problems

Hastings St

A chill out down tempo track I wrote after a shitty weekend of stress at the club. I used the Casio CZ 5000 with pitch modulation to get the wide moving chords, and the sequential drumtraks for the main basic beat. The beat sample is a reconstruction. The voice sample is my voice treated and detuned in ableton.

This is a track I released on 12 inch vinyl on VU records and licensed to various other labels in the Mid 90s. It was released under the project name "the modifiers".

Living with schizophrenia - DJ Lace 2013

Square dance rap - Sir Mix-A-Lot vs DJ Lace

This is an album I wrote & recorded from 1992 to mid 1993 then released on CD in 1994. The album did pretty well on the college charts and there are also a few 12" remixes on vinyl of "america" which was the lead single from the album. I think the album holds up pretty well 20 years later. and now it's free. :D
