Airport '89:  At some point I progressed from an Atari/MT32/Akai 950 set up to a fully software based program (Reason).  This resulted in a huge improvement in sound quality (as you can tell).  I did a lot of sampling, started a lot of tracks and messed around with (or remixed) a lot of my favourite tunes although this is the only one to make it to any sort of completed status.

I feel I had a fairly low creative involvement hence the free download status, I just filtered the bass off & did the drums/breaks, bassline and synth.

Picks Me Up: Around 2007 I bumped into a lad who introduced me to Wigan Pier type music.  This appealed to my previous love of happy hardcore and I wanted to write something influenced by this style.  In 2008 'It Picks Me Up' was born.  It's a fast paced, 160bpm, straight up dance track using some vocals I'd been meaning to use for ages, but had never come across the right track for them.

There is a lot going on at any one time and it caused me no end of issues in the mixdown.
For 2017 I reset all the faders to 0, changed the bass synth and re-mixed it.  This is the outcome:  Hope you enjoy

It Picks Me Up

Hi Q version available here (wav, 320)
https://mashypie.bandcamp.com/

Come With Me: Made in 2005, this is a fairly straight up dance track made on Reason featuring a well known vocal sample (Pin Up Girls - Take Me Away) with a strong bass line, synth stabs and break beats.  A new track with an older feel.

I can't remember whether this track was written for the vocals, or if the vocals were added after the track was made...

Just mastered for 2017, have not altered the mixdown, may have tidied up the bass slightly after I found a quirk of Reasons that duplicates & inverts the wave phase.

Enjoy.

Just a bit of fun, will upload the full version towards summer or something, maybe
System F - Out Of The Blue
A bit of background on this: It was put together on Reason, I was just listening to the original one evening and had a piano playing along to it in my head and thought I'd really like to get this down.  That's about it really.
I had no desire to mimic the original, which is why there are very few of the original elements here, it's practically my interpretation, as opposed to a remix.
It is one of the simplest tracks I've done, it's just a load of Reason presets and took me about a week.  The only things I created were that sort of transition noise, the fairly basic synth and I swapped the kick for that nice meaty one and added a breakbeat, because that is part of my musical roots
The rest is just presets, piano preset, strings preset, bass preset, a few d'n'b drum tracks layered over the main beat... Because why shouldn't you mix D'n'B, trance and piano house right?

Dub version
Reason based track (again!)
So, a few months ago I was with a friend at a sort of dance/meditation thing and the original to this came on, I think it was about 12 minutes long and I kept focusing on the bass line, and I kept thinking, I really want to take the bass line and play it along a DnB beat.  My original idea was a real minimal feel.  I don't think it has turned out like that.  I kept on adding and adding things
It has taken a while to get this right, it wasn't like the System F track which wrote itself in about a week, this has been months, Nov 2017 - Mar 2018, it's been through different drum samples, different drum arrangements, constant level adjustments, listening to it millions of times, at home, on headphones, in other peoples cars...
Whilst I can't tell if this is a successful track or not, it's at a point where I no longer wish to add or change anything and I also think it is one of my most accomplished tracks in terms of it's arrangement & design, the way it changes throughout the track, the way each element is linked together.  Given that it is basically a looped arrangement, I think it is one of my least looped sounding tracks

This is part of a remix competition that I entered, one mix made it through, (the chill mix - you can hear that version here)
https://www.beatport.com/release/any-given-day-rmxd-pt-1/2847980

This is the second version I did.  They are essentially the same but with different outlooks, this is the beat mix, or dance version and the release is the chillout mix.

I liked the bass line on the Starecase edit of Vega by Paul Van Dyk, so, I made a track around it... Hope you enjoy!

Abba - Voulez Vous (mashypies Hard Mash Mix)

This is my take on Sunbeams Outside World.  This is very heavily influenced by Stu J and UFOs track Positron, In fact it's structurally identical and even uses the same vocal sample.
It was born simply because I wanted a version of Positron that I could use in my current sets - I couldn't find a decent high quality version to buy.
You can download this for free on my Bandcamp

Basslines, Breakbeats & Pianos!
This is a three minute sampler of a two hour mix.
Please make sure you are following me on https://www.mixcloud.com/claer/ for when it goes up!
This is a personal project, and I set myself the target of putting together a mix whereby each track features a bassline, breakbeats and a piano riff.  I also chose the route of avoiding typical tracks such as SMD, Take Me Away, 6 Days and In Complete Darkness etc.  This will hopefully keep the mix fresh and different.
Stay tuned & check out my other mixes at https://www.mixcloud.com/claer/

Basslines, Breakbeats & Pianos - A 3 minute Sampler of a forthcoming mix

Back when I didn't know what I was doing with my life, I made some music.  I'm going to gradually put some of it on here.  Some of it will be available on Bandcamp if you like it.  It has been influenced mostly by dance music, electronica, house, happy hardcore & drum 'n' bass.
More recently I tend to take other peoples melodies and build up my own track around those.
Mastering done by Jon Doe
