Chimix 3 Live PA & Improv Original songs V3 Chicago Skeyelab Studio 2018
THANKS TO ERIC DAHL from Skeyelab on Bradley Place - recorded live to a stereo recorder, used Ableton Live 16 channels of stems/subgroups I prepared and added live improv on synths like "only left out working Roland Juno 106" and "buzzing as hell awesome Roland Space Echo" in addition to Moogs etc.. Just fun to do, every time diff results! 

Skender Makota daBalkanimal  
CHIMIX 2 SONG TITLES/TIME
1 - D-minor House - 0:00 - 3:43
2 - Et Haus - Start: 3:44 End: 09:29
3 - 106 ways around - Start 09:30 End: 19:29
4 - The 2 of Us Again - Start 19:30  Ends: 24:44
5 - Roy Digs It Start: 24:45 Ends 29:44

11 - Cream - Start: 1:06:00 Ends: 1:14:44
12 - Des - Start 1:14:45 - 1:23:16

Also few cool setup tricks on stem aux sends I will explain for those interested, great to fx some parts into endless delay, while the kick and bass come in tight and dry, using basic stuff like the never dying Behringer BCR2000 encoderse etc... 

Here is the song list info with time stamps, the best I could... since playing live sometimes I use parts of one song on a totally different one in emergency, Ableton allows this seamlessly and thus the same song often comes out even better, cause the kick bumps better, or hats sizzle brighter etc... 

ALSO, I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH EACH SONG SEPARATELY RELEASED AND DOWNLOADABLE, if you like it, there you go its a free download, but tell others and share dont be a cunt! Thanks! :)

Chomper is a house production talent like no other hailing from Milwaukee, WI. His effortless mixing and mashing of soulful acapellas into energetic house anthems is something rare for most producers. With over a decade of music industry experience spanning lead singing in bands, to DJing epic 6 hour house sets around the country, he is ready to bring the vibes with his top notch productions. Chomper certainly breaks the rules by melding styles together to bring you a different house flavor all his own. With an arsenal of unreleased songs ready to launch, Chomper is poised to take a bite out of the scene in 2024.

-------------------

Balkanimal - focus on live pa performances where I try to recreate different mixes of my own original house, deep house, tech house, techno, minimal, ambient, jungle... well, you get the  idea :)
IF IT MOVES, THEN IT GROOVES!


I try to not restrict myself in the world of electronic music composition and creation by staying within the confines of sub-genres, expectations, lingering in the (boring) safe zone, the beaten path which in my view is a waste of time. 
I try to push the envelope and reinvent. 
I also like meeting, collaborating and otherwise hanging out with people who share this view, not just music and art, but science, education, life and social acceptance, where we truly are equal cause we truly feel that way. 

Trend followers are not worth my time, neither am I worth theirs.. 
but if you want to reinvent, and have fun in life doing it by exploring options and adjusting instilled expectations in electronic music creation... then by all means - we're already friends!
