Tension Progression

Album recorded in October of 2015. In an alley while homeless with a janky laptop with Cubase, Reason 7.1 and a Yeti mic.

Tripple Stripe University (mastered)

BACK TO THE FUTURE is going on Tour. 

I am going to recreate the parties of the early nineties that I never could attend, from the flyers to the imagery on location to the chill-out area. 

All in intimate venues, for a exclusive live experience of the sound of my mixtape trilogy and beyond.

Over Christmas 2014 I needed a break from recording
my album, searching online for a song I recalled from
my youth, I fell into a rabbit hole of thousands of
YouTube playlists and posts, rediscovering the songs
my friends and I would gather and listen to as
13 & 14 yr olds every Saturday in East Berlin on Radio DT64
(now Berlin's Radio Fritz).

I stumbled back to the future, collecting over 5000 songs
on YouTube, learning for the first time the artists behind
the songs we heard almost 25 years ago.

The forthcoming trilogy is the result of 18 month
of building edits from YouTube recordings and stitching
them together off-line. I could not include every song,
nor indeed even the entire tracks from this small period
until 1993, so this is my personal history of electronic
music arriving in Berlin.

This trilogy will not be sold, it was a labor of love,
born of nostalgia and made for sharing.

WHAT IS IT

I thought it need some more. Had a lot of trouble with the mixing, so tell me how it sounds. 
Thanks everybody for listening, enjoying and giving me feedback on my music! 
The piano sample is from Go Round by Cortex and the other samples are from both my own guitar playing and A Nightmare on Elm Street 2
