A beautiful and soulful melody overtop a groovy synth carries this track through right to the end.

lessons

A live set we put together for Montreal's premier house and techno website:  http://www.theguerillacampaign.com.  Patrick Murdoch's excellent article showcases what musicfirm is all about. 

10.02 in plain sight - live set

This is our newest r&d effort - in a state where we're happy with the sound but it could probably use a bit more sound tweaking before being released.  

(come out) swingin

Another work in progress from our r&d library.  More sound work to do but it's in pretty good shape.  We may add a lead later on, but the piano lines and moving bass seem to do nicely in the mean time.

7 to 1

An addictive, progressive track with a beautiful soft piano melody and funky bass elements.

the fire next door

David Moss dropped by the studio and threw down some serious guitar and bass licks.  We jammed it out that very night, put a few finishing touches on it, and voila.

french quarter (feat. david moss)

We spontaneously made this remix one evening, projecting a simpler, darker twist on this vocally-centered track.  The kick is a bit punchier than the original, and the new bass line is pretty crunchy about half-way through.  With a slower BPM the core elements of the track are more apparent.  Moves between A and F#m.

eternal fire (darkside remix)

This is a recording of the second half of a live set we jammed out in preparation for one of our recent gigs in Montreal.  The venue ambiance is pretty relaxed so we decided to take a more chill approach to the performance.
