You listen to my tune for 5 seconds and be like, dude, can't handle it, unplug this bastard

7 Gram Rocks

First tune in a long time! Working on some funny old speakers so forgive the poor mix. Having a play with scratching and resampling basses, kinda feels like some sort of hop, but it could be a skip or a jump too.

Ghettoblaster

New lil thing I made. Chilled halftime-ish bassy stuff... Make your own mind up! Changes about a bit so keep listening (:

Shuffle (Unmastered)

far too late for the competition, but had the sample pack and thought i'd try my hand at a remix. quite rough and not really finished but i have lots of other things to do! enjoy

Sinister Souls - Beat The Drum Hard (Metamorpho Remix)

Calypso Birthday Party

i mean, i’m ignant	
indignant, like do i even need to know?
i like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off

brain like a television
never anything good going on
i’d like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off

static clouding up my eyes 
but its probably the fault of the liquor
i like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off

i encourage you to talk to me
but i know that i won’t listen to you
i like to shut you off, shut you off, shut you off

there’s a light at the end of the bottle
so every day i reach for it
i’d like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off

you tie me to a hundred horses
but you still won't get me out of bed
i’d like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off

i’d like to say that I’ve got big ideas
and that this world is just too small for me
i like to shut it off, shut it off

but really, and you know it’s true
there’s much more to this life than me and you
i’d like to shut it off, shut it off

i’d like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off
i like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off    

the best time is when it’s raining
then you can’t see me cry to myself
i like to shut it off, shut it off

i should bury my thoughts, and water them well
maybe they’ll end up good enough to sell
i like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off

but i never really like the stories i tell
and i’m never saved by the bell
i like to shut it off, shut it off, shut it off, shut it off, shut it off, shut it off

Shut It Off

rattle my bones, shake me awake,
my eyes have clouded over,
milky pools, sad and old,
my scent is bold

muddy lust has replaced
the keen edge of youth,
i never got to visit france,
i never found the one i love

a lifetime playing games,
no balls, never said what i meant,
it freaks me out,
now i'm lying here with tubes up my nose

i never wrote that book,
and i could’ve, in all the time that it took 
for me 
not to do it

not sure about the levels on this.

---

don't plan on marrying baby
i'll get you what you need
not too far to go on
not too far to bleed

you can ask for pins in your head
you can ask for symmetrical planning
you can ask for tortuous membrane
you can ask for orange juice frozen

you can ask for any old woman
you can ask for an army of ants
you can ask for a pillar of poison
you can ask for sheep and shavers

and you can die for

be careful what you wish for
be careful what you wish for
be careful what you wish for
be careful what you wish for

Rickshaw (Desert Sessions cover)

with the covers wrapped between us
so close but mountains lie between
i know you want to leave and memories become hazy

what drew you in?

with your bags packed full
i just can’t be hopeful 
I know what’s set in stone so i guess i’ll just get stoned

take me away

with the covers wrapped between us
so close but mountains lie between
i know you want to leave and memories become lazy

what drew you in?


what drew you in?

There’s something about surf music. It could be the reverb-soaked guitar pumped out of a Fender amp at break-up volume that makes it so special. It could be the driving ‘boom ka-ka, boom-boom ka’ of the drums that backs so many of the classics. It could be the image of an old lady thrashing all the kids at the lights in her super stock Dodge Dart. But, to me, it’s the innocence of the genre that makes it so appealing. 


There’s little posturing or anger in either the music or the performers, and while it might be weird, humourous, or plain demented - see Takeshi Terauchi’s ‘Csardas No.1’ for an exercise in sending your listener mad - there’s no malice or ‘badness’. Dick Dale has never taken drugs or drunk to excess, and still tours - both because he loves the music and needs to pay for his ongoing medical bills. Brian Wilson may have struggled with his mental health after being forced to churn out pop hit after pop hit, but can you name an angry Beach Boys song? There’s plenty of sorrow, loneliness and heartbreak to go round, but you can always surf the pain away.


In this mix - possibly the first of several - I’ve tried to give a wide representation of surf music, with a few wild cards thrown in for good measure. I’m sure you know, or at least would recognise Dick Dale’s ‘Miserlou’ - popularised by Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Pulp Fiction’ and the Black Eyed Peas’ ‘Pump It’ - so I’ve played one of the first ever recordings of the song. The Cramps’ rendition of ‘Surfin’ Bird’ is wild and probably more scary than funny, but it works, and shows how the form can transcend traditional genres. The two Takeshi Terauchi records I’ve included are both pure surf, yet noticeably Japanese - especially ‘Dark Eyes’, with its prominent use of the shamisen. The Mermen take surf to another level, and their ‘ocean rock’ odysseys develop the sound and capture the essence of the sea better than any other artist or group in this mix. One of my own compositions is nestled away in there as well.


This quintessentially American music that found fame and popularity in the States before the British Invasion - and was all but forgotten about for decades afterwards - is very special to me. Spend 45 minutes of your day dipping your toes, and remember, surf’s up!

Lochy's Late Nite Surf's Up Jukebox Vol 1

Lochy's Late Nite Surf's Up Jukebox Vol. 1

Deep glass holds me fast
Am I made from the same old plaster cast?
I’m at the bar, stuck fast
Sucking on my amber nectarine

I'll get the stone clean 
My queen wants it planted
It goes out for compost
I'm lost, footsteps in the frost

Lead around in circles
I think I'm right as I look for you 
but wait two
I've got to keep my bowl full

Will you be long 
Don't get lost in the throng 
Are you wearing the thong that I bought you?
I can see it through

But it’s filtered by firewater
And cigarettes and I'm keen 
To just lean on the bin by the post office
Can we have a night and a morning if that's alright?
