Introducing Story of Rinzen: Chapter 3. The third edition in my mixtape series.

I’m a true believer in the art of the mixtape. In taking the time to truly craft a story with a mix. In this case, I really did take my time to put this together (nearly 2 years). 

But it’s important for me not to rush these; to only release one when I feel I have the right music to say what I want to say.

To create my mixtapes, not only am I sourcing music, but I am also relentlessly sampling different mediums. Everything from films, TV shows, inspirational YouTube monologues, to interviews with my favorite musicians. 

These samples get woven together with the music to create a cinematic, emotional journey from start to finish. The end product is a new Chapter.

This is Story of Rinzen: Chapter 3

The Cure - Just Like Heaven (Rinzen Remix) [Free Download]

I had the pleasure of making the guest mix for Jason Bentley's show on KCRW, Metropolis.

I approached the mix how I would an Essential Mix: meaning I picked tracks that I believe have a timeless appeal mixed with some current favorites.

As such, this is not a normal house & techno mix from me, but rather spans all types of electronic music.

Tracklist:
Rob Dougan - Clubbed to Death
Leon Vynehall - Midnight on Rainbow Road
Justice & Tame Impala - One Night / All Night
RY X - Dark Room Dancing (Eagles & Butterflies Remix)
Malandra Jr. - Magnetik
Trentemoller - Take Me Into Your Skin
Rival Consoles - Sudden Awareness of Now
deadmau5 - strobe (ov)
deadmau5 - Strobe (Rinzen Remix)
Jamie xx - Seesaw

Life As It Is

My first original track, "Renegade," is out now on @mau5trap as part of 'We Are Friends Vol. 6'.

The goal of Rinzen is to merge the worlds of cinematic sound design and forward-thinking techno to create something that is truly awe-inspiring. "Renegade" is the first step in that process.

Rinzen - Renegade [mau5trap]

This is my official remix of ATTLAS's "Aspen" for mau5trap's 10 year anniversary album.

Like all my remixes, I've tried to use as few elements from the original as possible and build my own composition out of it.

The original song features a sample of 'Jana Gana Mana,' the national anthem of India, sung by a children's choir. I've used the sample in my version as well.

Introducing ‘Story of Rinzen.’ My official mixtape series.

The story will unfold in chapters, with a new mix released every few months.

This is Chapter 1.

------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 1

He awoke to find himself in a different world.

How long had he been wandering?
The Sands of Time were vast, infinite maybe.

What he sought -- what we all seek --
was to be unraveled.

There, in the formless night,
Divorced from the past,
He caught a glimpse of the divine.
