D-Funk vs Flume & Flodan - 'I'm Not Flume Brixton' *Free Download*
UK Bass / Grime / Break beat. 133bpm.

Recently Triple J challenged producers to complete an unfinished Flume track, offering a blank canvas for any style. Hearing Flume's raw, heavy bass stems, I immediately gravitated towards a UK bass and grime direction, but with my signature breakbeat influence.

To capture that authentic UK vibe, I incorporated vocals from the newly released Flodan sample pack (yes, those vocals – but they fit perfectly). The result? A bass-bin shaking monster, packed with intricate sound design, complex basslines, and driving, energetic beats.

Again I wasn't lucky enough to win the Triple J competition so now I'm giving my version away for free. Not sure how long it will last before it gets taken down so grab it whilst you can!

If you don't have Soundcloud or want this track in another format you can find it on my Bandcamp:

This Is The Way

"Renegade Of Funk" - Kool Hertz_Re-Rub

All proceeds from this sale will be going to charity; Macmillan Cancer Support Jersey.

Macmillan Cancer Support Jersey relies entirely on donations to help support their services including free emotional support, practical information and group support to people in Jersey with any type of cancer and at any stage, along with their families and friends.

Cancer has a major impact on everybody – with over 50% of people now expected to be diagnosed with some form of cancer in their life. Macmillan helps everybody affected in their time of need.

Now about the music... This is another piece that was created for Secret Sunset that I've loved playing around Jersey, creating magical experiences from iconic locations. Finally time to share it with the world! 

Thank you so much Georgi for listening to my crazy ideas and coming on this journey; not only recording an amazing vocal, but also climbing on top of a World War II bunker with me to sing this live at sunset with just a few days' notice... an epic life moment for me! 🥰🙏❤️

Full story of this remix follows, digital sleeve notes of sorts! 

Orbital's original Belfast is in my top 3 tunes of all time; absolutely love it, as do so many. A beautiful timeless gem. So why remix it at all, when it's so good already? I knew I risked upsetting a lot of fans of the original (including some of my mates who to summarise mostly said "you'd better not have butchered my favourite tune") - it's a big risk taking on an iconic tune; I'd have been happy to simply play the original, if it wasn't for two issues; 

1. It's SO recognisable that in a world where I was broadcasting Secret Sunset around the world on Facebook anything like Belfast is an almost instant takedown

2. The original tempo slows down at the end - so makes it harder to have a deep melodic house flow to a set. I can work around this, but as I was already thinking if I want to play it at all, I'll have to rework it a bit in order for it to not be a instant FB takedown - a ~120bpm track will be easier for me to mix in an unconventional environment (on a little Bose speaker with unfortunate sync/delay in it - mixing on headphones in the wind with no monitor, so less challenging transitions are preferable!) 😄

The first challenge when remixing is typically either needing stems or being able to accurately sample an original. 

As it happens, I didn't use any of the original for this, I recreated any bits that sound like the original. 

I couldn't get a clean sample of the original vocal either (the acapella is apparently available somewhere but all versions of the Emily Van Evera version of O Euchari In Leta Via I found all have an annoying new age backing track after the initial intro = unusable). 

I figured that there would likely be a singer locally in Jersey, perhaps out of work given the pandemic and up for a collaboration. As luck would have it, I found Georgi Mottram who is an amazing soprano, a Classical Brit Award nominee, and persuaded her initially to just lay down the vocal. 

However, I thought it would be a fun surprise for Georgi to turn up almost unannounced during a Secret Sunset & start singing 😄 I'd never done anything like this before; we had a basic sound check before; no additional sound engineer or pro setup, just me checking reverb levels & volume. It was a high risk & high reward situation streaming over 4G with a camper van battery & inverter keeping the lights on 😄Lots of fun for me at least... :-)

This mix uses more of a studio recording from Georgi; I've painstakingly normalised the typically high dynamic range in Georgi's recording (basically the variance in volume). Opera singing is typically overly dramatic vs the more subdued & relatively low dynamic range plainchaint that Hildegard von Bingen would have sung, and I'm finally happy with the result. 

So there you go - a long story about "my" version of Belfast.

Many thanks to John Dalagelis for mastering as always & input on this final version.
