The deeper side of Dark Techno. A growling, roaring, relentless mix, equally at home in shadowy basements/warehouses and on long overnight drives. There are a few fresh cuts sprinkled in with 2 originals and several choice tracks selected from the vaults of the Dalton digital estate. There's a few cool Easter egg samples in here if you can spot them.

Dark Mix

Originals Set - Frequinox 3.19.2023

This set was played live without much of a setlist, only an idea of where I wanted to go, several banks of patterns, and patch libraries. I only recently started using hardware for the purposes of live performance. After about 6 years of producing in the box and 20+ years djing, it feels like a natural synthesis of the two art forms. I'm having some of the most fun I've ever had musically.

I am infatuated with the immediacy, the connection to the music hardware provides. It's important for me to maintain a certain level of improvisation when I play. I want at least a few things to happen that no one, including myself, has ever heard before, and may not ever hear again, every set. I love the fact that every moment in time has the potential to be musically, and sonically singular. 

For this set, I wanted to present something representative of the sounds that have always spoken to me. Deep, tribal, almost naturalistic but techy with an emphasis on groove and sound design. For me, it gives a sense of wandering through a biomechanical jungle or forest.

5:00 AM in an Alien Rainforest with Travis Christian LIVE

Got a bunch of new tracks this month. Recorded a mix while I was getting to know a few of them a little better

February Tech - 2024

This week's Far Blue concept is crafted by the four friends of the UK-based collective and record label, Simpler Times. This one has been long in the making, and the final result is a truly special mix.

‘Reflections Of Things To Come’ is a carefully crafted hour long journey that showcases Simpler Times take on the Far Blue concept. It is inspired by the idea of reflecting on the past while dreaming of the future.

‘We wanted to do something special for this mix, so we decided to record a set made up of unreleased Simpler Times music. We’ve included some older unreleased stuff that has never seen the light of day before alongside some brand new music we produced especially for the mix. We wanted to combine the old with the new to mirror the concept of the mix.’

'What lies between memories and dreams?'
