Recorded Live @ Club F15teen in St. Louis, MO on Nov. 20, 2009

T.Lectual Opening Set For Quivver Part 1 

A re-edit I did of a 90's classic to better suit sets of today.

I stayed true to the original for the most part. The beginning is a tease at first, coming in little by little, before allowing the full original vocal arrangement to commence. Also added a touch of delay effect in some parts. Enjoy.

ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE

T/LEC aka Tony Bove is a master of his craft. He was approached by Tulipa Recordings owner Summer (Brendon Collins) to create a mix compilation specific to his personal style. Tony spent months collecting tracks for the monumental Blooming. Tony has long been an artist, friend, and contributor to Tulipa Recordings and the label was honored to have him take on the adventurous task of collecting exclusive music from talented producers across the globe. The result is a triumphant mix that takes us on an exhilarating journey through the soul of modern day electronic music. Tony's taste is impeccable and it is obvious that he is an innovator at heart. Blooming is riddled with deep ingenuities, impulsive grooves, and melodically-coherent layers that soar above the average mix, solidifying T/LEC's position in the music industry as an accomplished DJ and forward thinking producer.

"Like most mix compilations, Blooming represents the sounds that currently make up who I am as a DJ and music artist. Going further it also represents the blueprint of this mix with its evolvement in sound and to which most of the tracks were produced by up and coming artists still looking to make their mark on the industry, including myself. As a result, compiling and constructing this mix was very challenging yet very rewarding. Whatever your interpretation, my hope is that it makes a good mark on you as well (at least for the next hour)." -T/LEC

**NAPALM Vault 02 - Coreality **

What were you up to in 2002?
Yep that would be 24 years ago!

Here’s where I was at:
I was living in Hinesville, GA just outside of Savannah, and got out of the Army that year. 

I had been DJing for about 2 years at that point, really cutting my teeth and honing my skills from daily practice sessions and playing all nighters at our weekend afters parties - which became a routine ritual for almost 2 years. 

This was also the 3rd mix CD I ever made and pushed out to the area masses, so I was also starting to pick up my first gigs around the Savannah circuit.

I recall my craft and taste were starting to really mature at this point. 

Beginning with mostly upbeat & anthem focused records when I started in 2000, in Coreality I’m evolving into much more groove-driven genres (which were the fresh new sounds of the time). 

My mixing & programming were close to hitting a skill summit here  - which for me that peak would be my next mix in the following year (Thick & Heavy - Napalm Vault 01). 

But this was definitely a strong effort that I was very proud of (still am), which I poured a lot of hours and re-takes into getting this one as perfect as I could. (as this predates my DAW audio engineering days, so there’s no edits, just raw vinyl mixing)

24 years later I have dusted it off, extracted the audio from the CD, mastered, and uploaded it for today’s listening pleasure. 

100% vinyl mix (so embrace the crackle & pops!)

Hope you enjoy

Mixed & Recorded on:
-2 x Technic 1210’s
-1 x (old ass) Vestax mixer
-TLK shelf CD burner

NAPALM VAULT 02 - Coreality

TLEC - Heady Feels Vol. 2

One of the best and most memorable mixes I've ever made, and it was done live at the NAPALM monthly on November 6th 2015. It was a very special night, I was locked in - and everyone else was right there with me. A night I won't soon forget....

STLec

What an incredible night this was. The energy in the room was super thick!

Note: The recording's dynamics got a bit squashed. iMastering did it's best to restore it.

A soundtrack for living.

Volume 47 brings a beautiful guest mix by the multi-faceted Tony Bove AKA T/LEC. As a talented house and techno producer, DJ, and promoter by night, and master audio engineer by day, this guy knows a thing or two about building a proper mix. Described by him as "a pretty wide pallet of sounds - everything from retro chill out, indie 2 step, middle eastern guitar, early 90's ethnic new age, folk house, aimless ambient interludes, etc etc", we feel that he has tapped into the SFL vibe quite perfectly. Have a listen and please show your support in the comment section below.

T.Lectual & Summer | The Bomberang | Mirabilis

Creating a new mix series: while I've had some extra time from Covid I've been going back and digging DEEP into some of my old mixes (recorded onto CD with a very old-school TDK shelf CD burner), dusting them off, re-mastering them, and sharing them with the digital world.

Kick things off with Thick N' Heavy: Originally mixed on all vinyl back in 2003 at the ripe age of 23, this is probably the mix I hold closest to my heart. At the time I had only been playing for a few years so I was still a raw talent, but I definitely hit a creative peak during this era with my methods of mixing - and the music that was coming out was so innovative and fresh sounding that it really helped elevate my game to a new level. This was a very pivotal mix for me - both as a DJ  and an artist - and even almost 20 years later I feel it holds up to the times (for me at least, but I'm probably a little biased).... and I feel like it's one of the best overall mixes I've ever made.

It's been shared off and on throughout the years, mostly by CD back in the day. So I was super happy when I dug up the raw recording of this, and was able to completely remaster it for yours (and my) listening pleasure.

Note: when deciding on how to master this mix, I had some vinyl crackles and pops to consider (lots of white label records in there), and had the choice of attempting to remove them (while also degrade the overall sound), or leave it raw and add the enhancements as is. I chose the latter.
