FULL LIVE SET

Levitation Jones @ FamFest 2024 (Full Live Set on Youtube)

A mix of two tracks mixed live, "DebDub" and "RocketRide".

DebDub and RocketRide

I have a gig with DBTS & Esseks next week and wanted to improv over one of their tracks, and this is one of my favorites by Esseks so I choose this one. I hope. you dig sax & keytar imrov! If you do, you should check me out live or stay tuned for a bunch of music this year :)

Esseks - Ellies Nap (Groovee Saxy/Keytar Improv Edit)

FREE DOWNLOAD (just click "FREE DOWNLOAD!" link)

Normally, when I DJ live, I do a keytar solo every few songs, depending on the setting.  But for this series, I do a solo on EVERY track!  It includes my favorite solos from various genres, so I probably would never play out this exact set.  But for anyone digging my "shredding," this Keytar Hero series will satisfy your needs and more. Volume 1 has some of my first solos.  

Enjoy!  JOYFIRE

Keytar Hero - Volume 2 (1-hour DJ set with live keytar solos)

Been listening to some Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre and got inspired (just bought Helsinki concert tickets :) ). And then a video of Jan Hammer shredding a keytar. Awesome. I don't have a keytar (yet...) so shredded a keyboard. Less awesome, but sounds the same ;)

This is almost all Arturia Analog Lab virtual synths... when it works. With the addition of the MiniBrute VST Ableton is crashing the first two times I load up this track. 

The Simmons Toms and deep bass are DX7 through Dexed.

Starship Cetonia

My first Synth Wave track! Hope you enjoy it

"Megastructure" is inspired by enormous architecture, such as the Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, the Vessel, the Oculus, and the One World Trade Center in New York. Each of these massive works of art are truly breathtaking and awe-inspiring. 

Megastructure (8 Percussion, Piano, & Keytar) - Austin Taylor Smith

This was the last (and best) of a slew of video game music covers I made for YouTube during 2016-2017.

🎼 Original composer: Masato Nakamura

Emerald Hill Zone KEYTAR COVER (Sonic 2)

My first piece made and edited entirely from scratch, with original lyrics, and my own attempts at playing the keytar after years of not playing it. Nothing here was AI-generated.

I am neurologically mute from birth and – thanks to an electrolarynx, a lot of speech therapy, and some computer magic – I was able to do what I thought was impossible.

. . .

Being born mute, I had no idea how to form syllables or where to even position my tongue in my mouth to create the sounds I wanted, even with the help of my electrolarynx (My first model was a TruTone). It took roughly 3 years of speech therapy for me to learn to use the device adequately, and even then I still slur, stutter, and mix up my words almost constantly. But, it still helps a ton.

I went from only having written words and sign language to being able to 'talk' with my friends, in real time. Then, with the generous help of some healthcare specialists and some third party devs, I was able to synthesize a voice – the closest approximation to what my voice *would* sound like, if I could talk – and use it. For the first time in a long time, I felt normal.

I initially started writing this song as a celebration of me having found my voice, and how my life has changed because of it.


However, roughly a year ago, due to some bureaucratic complications, my healthcare profile was inadvertently closed, and services were denied to me. This, unfortunately, meant that my active profile for said services had been shut down, and the data in it, erased. I lost my voice.

Up until then, I thought in pictures and concepts, sometimes in written words – but after having gotten my voice, and using it for nearly 2 years, I started to develop an inner-monologue, in that voice. It became a part of me. It was *MY* voice. And losing it felt like losing a part of myself.

I've since gotten another voice, different from my original. It will never replace my first and what I still consider to be my 'real' voice, but I still love it and am grateful to have it.

That being said, after having lost my voice, I had to re-record this song all over again, and in doing so, I re-wrote the lyrics a bit with the help of a friend. It became a little less happy, a little more melancholic, and somewhat bittersweet. It went from a celebration of having gotten my voice, to me grieving the loss of it. Still, I'm optimistic about the future, and I appreciate everything I've been given a chance to have, so there remains a note of hope at the end.

Some things, you just can't keep with you – no matter how much you'd like to. But, even then, I think it's important to appreciate it having been in your life, even if just for a little bit. It's because of things like these that you live, you learn, and you grow.


The message at the very end is the last thing I ever recorded with my original voice. I thought it was appropriate to give it a place at the end of the song, as a final good-bye to it.

. . .

If you went through all of that — thanks for reading! I know it was a lot, but it means a lot for people to take an interest, and hopefully it can give people something to relate to, even if just a little bit.

Dentro de la escena de la música tradicional ha sido parte de los grupos Cenzontle, La Santísima Trinidad y Xocoyote, además de los mencionados al principio. Con éstos grupos ha tenido tambien presentaciones al interior del Estado y en ciudades de otros Estados. Con la Santísima Trinidad se musicalizó tambien la obra Mis Tres Muertes que mezclaba artes circenses con son jarocho.

I create music in styles and genres I love (and there are a LOT). I especially enjoy experimenting with genre fusion, instrumentation, and arrangement. If it brings you joy, that makes me happy.

This music is not monetized. It's to bring musical joy to me (and hopefully you!). Thanks so much for listening

Released under the name Flannel Salad (formerly Scurlock).

🎷🎹

Kraftkabel is the artist name of Philip I. Buckland. I am a musical scientist in a parallel universe living in a studio flat orbiting Jupiter. My keyboards are suspended in gravity nets, and my mixer is controlled by the power of the mind. My cosmic sequencing software masters through the power of emotion, and my keyboards are simultaneously both retro and new.
My music originates from the point of divergence of these universes - the mid-late 1980's, but is spliced by genre splicing interludes. I use a time machine and dimensional portal to get to work.
For the other nerds out there:
Hardware synths: 
Moog Subsequent 37; Roland Jupiter X, JD-Xi, VR-09, S-1; Korg Prologue, NTS-1, Monotron Duo; Sequential Take5; Yamaha DX7; Akai PRO MiniAK; Novation Mininova; Arturia MicroFreak; Modal SkulptsynthSE; Teenage Engineering PO-20.
Main software: Ableton, Arturia Analog Pro, InSidious, random free stuff from the interweb and Dexed to program the DX7. Audacity. All played through Arturia Keylab and Keystep (which has a better arpreggiator).
Plus some guitars that I can't really play very well. And an mbira, tin whistle and an alien head-shaped ukulele.

Arokx is an Auckland-based DJ and producer whose passion, talent and love for minimal and techno have seen him play stages and release music across the globe. 

His childhood saw him exposed to an array of music, predominantly the gnarly sounds of Nu-metal and the warm harmonies of blues, elements of which can be heard in his music today. As an early teen, his friends were generally lovers of rap music, but the sounds of deep, hypnotic, minimal techno were calling him from the subterranean of another space.  

After a wild set at Shipwrecked that went down in history as 'Arokx the Boat’, he caught the eyes and ears of international promoters with his dedication, raw talent and original production work. He laid down a legendary closing set for Hot Creations Records (London) which launched him into the overseas club and festival circuit, seeing him play alongside many of the world's top headline acts, thus making Shipwrecked Festival apart of his roots after giving him the break of a lifetime.  

From more recent sets at Australia’s legendary Esoteric Festival, Melbourne’s Revolver and regular slots at an array of other New Zealand festivals and club nights. He has cemented his place in Aotearoa’s underground house and techno scene. There’s no doubt about it, Arokx has a pedigree, and an ear for killer sound.

Playing his own productions alongside carefully curated sound from other artists, he is known for delivering cleverly constructed and well thought out sets. He has upcoming releases on multiple international labels, and has hit the Beatport top 10 charts, recently getting his tracks to number 4 on the minimal chart and number 6 for techno/peak driving.

Now performing live with J.Zealous, Arokx creates a unique journey into sound & vibration for every dance floor. This is one act that will keep you engaged until the very end.
