So, these last few months I've been playing about wioth some sound production software (when I have time - which is not very often). This is a practice tune I made. Obviously lots about it I would change or do differently now, but useful as a learning tool. Big hat-tip to the folks at the Sonic Academy, whose model tune I followed to develop this one. For those who are interested the vocal sample is from the 1986 Transformers Movie. You can leave comments if you like - enjoy!

A Little Energon

My second tune - once again a hat-tip to Sonic Academy. For those interested, the sample is Charles Dance reading 50 Shades of Grey, captured from the Big fat Quiz of 2012. Enjoy.

Kinky Fuckery

So . . . it's Carnival here in Brazil so I've thrown together a new mix, some certified bangers in here - plus every tune has been released post October 2012 - so it's all new. Get your listening chops round these sounds - big hat tip to Sketi, Quadrat Beat and Kid Panel whose tunes make up a good third of this mix - if you can get to see any of them live, do it. Here is the tracklisting and times.

Carnival Breaks

Here is a Drum & Bass mix I made - it was one tune longer but when I first tried to post it I received a copyright infringement email from Skrillex's record label OWSLA.

Here is the tracklist - if any of you want the original mix (and I recommend it as the blocked tune is totes awesome sauce, or something) then mail me and I will work out some thoroughly illegal way of getting it to you.
