"Old School Hard House Bangers: The Turntable Mix" by DJ Compound.

Recorded live in West End Brisbane with Damien Pasquale, (who is also a highly regarded local visual artist)June 2022. 

A live rework of "Amphetamine" by Drax / Thomas P Heckman.

A huge amount of equipment was synced via midi with this being our SECOND attempt at making it all sing in harmony, (the first didn't materialize in anything being actually recorded.) 

The Drax, "amphetamine" theme was programmed into the TD3, (303 clone) with it acting as the master for all the other equipment slaved via midi. The original recording was abt 45 minutes long, after jamming it out for a few hours before, so I attempted to edit it down and capture the best of it for this upload without sending everyone to sleep.

"Dopamine" by DJ Compound & Damien Pasquale. (EDIT 2.)

Recorded live in West End Brisbane July 2022. with Damien Pasquale, (who is also a highly regarded local visual artist.) 

A huge amount of equipment was synced via midi with this being our THIRD effort at making it all sing in concert. Just getting all this stuff to talk to each other is a semi miracle... and some of it even sounds half decent. 

The original recording was abt an hour long, (after hours of jamming) so I've  attempted to capture the best of it for this upload.

"Future Of Man" (the BIG rig jam) by DJ Compound & Damien Pasquale.

Recorded from the original 2004 vinyl release.

This was Sound of Now / Bass Station's first vinyl release the other side seeing Jason collaborate with Alpharisc. The actual final mix of our track, "Music is the Key" was too quiet but thankfully the mastering engineer was able to bring it up a little in his suite, (that studio looked like the Starship Enterprise.)

Jason insisted on preforming a spoken word for the track which was the first time I'd attempted to record vocals and I subsequently treated them extensively. He also managed to fall down my staircase but I did that myself a few times over years too. 

Not a bad effort given the circumstances and the only thing I've ever had put out on vinyl. I ripped this recording from the original 2004 vinyl release in July 2022 and didn't add any further processing.

"Music Is The Key" by DJ Compound & Jason Midro.

Written by Michael Oliver and produced by DJ Compound - December 2012, Dickson, Canberra.

The vocals and some of the instrumentation were preformed by Michael with the drums and synth sections programmed and composed by DJ Compound.  The arrangement was undertaken by both Michael Oliver & DJ Compound and all recording and editing by DJ Compound.

This took a LONG time to put together and dozens of edits were made and revisited and debated. What materialized was wholly different to what was initially envisioned but the resulting material was pretty satisfying.

"2ci" Written by Michael Oliver & Produced by DJ Compound,

Recorded live in West End Brisbane with Damien Pasquale, (who is also a highly regarded local visual artist) August 2022.

A huge amount of equipment was synced via midi and this our FORTH, "live" effort. The original recording was approximately an 45 minutes long following an afternoon of jamming and I've attempted to edit the best of it.

"Spirit Man" by DJ Compound & Damien Pasquale.

Similar to others this track was started in mid 2018 but left unfinished but I recently revisited and extensively reworked it in mid 2022. 

Getting all the drums to  function together was hard work as there's a fair bit going on in the mix and the instrumentation needed to be carefully considered, (I kinda feel sorry for my neighbors.) 

Days were spent editing the samples but hopefully to good effect. 

Thanks to artificial intelligence for the artwork.

“The Egyptian Trombone” by DJ Compound.

A rework of Australian sludge / stoner band, "Budd" song, "Cheesecake" from their 1993 EP, "Yakfat." A familiar drum sample is also evident though it has all been heavily edited and sampled.

Originally written in August 2019 and reworked and edited in June 2022.

"Cheesedick" by DJ Compound, (edit 2.)

Recorded July 2022. Straight from boxes into the DAW with no post production. Obviously the jam went considerably longer than this but you get the idea. 

The 303 line was actually lifted from another artist that posted it online for others to play with as they saw fit:  https://d16.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1919&start=15

"Live Jungle Acid Jam" by DJ Compound. (Edit 3.)

Originally written in November 2020, (Brunswick, Melbourne.)Extensively reworked and re-edited in mid-2022, in Brisbane. 

I've attempted to master it louder on a number of times, (hence edit 3) but it just seems to bomb out if I push it any harder. How is this mitigated... turn it up louder. 

Thanks to artificial intelligence for helping out with the artwork.

"Take 5 On It" by DJ Compound, (EDIT 3.)

Originally recorded in Brunswick West, Melbourne, 2018 and edited and revisited in July 2022 Brisbane.

"Apples & Herbs of Paradise" by DJ Compound, (written November 2018 and subsequently revisited several times.)The ukulele part is from Herb Ohta's magnificent 1973 album, "Song for Anna" and more specifically the track, "Apples of Paradise" (hence my title.) I think, unlike with his other work, he was accompanied by a European orchestra, (which explains the elaborate instrumentation.) 

Depressingly the album seems to have fallen off the edge of a cliff though evidently it was a Worldwide hit at the time. 

My original edit was much longer though I reduced it considerably to just a little vignette. It was particularly difficult to work with as it was written in 3/4 time, (I'd never attempted to work with that before.) Thanks to artificial intelligence for assisting me with the artwork.

"Apples & Herbs Of Paradise" by DJ Compound, (EDIT 3.)

I tarted this track in the middle of the pandemic, (2020) but admittedly it sat incomplete for a few years. Recently revisited it, (mid 2022) and brought it up to speed by refining and editing it extensively, (hopefully to good effect.) 

Utilized a tb303 clone, (TD3) extensively which required considerable patience particularly as mine is faulty. 

I've had a few goes at mastering it as one tries to put their best put forward. 

Celebrated Brisbane visual artist Damien Pasquale generously provided the disturbing cover artwork.

My buddy, "Ghost Gum" did a visualizer for the track. You can check it out on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2s2-SVu0dM

"Rain In Terror"(Pandemic Mix) by DJ Compound, (EDIT 2.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2s2-SVu0dM

Originally Recorded January 2016 Brunswick, Melbourne and Remixed August 2022 Brisbane. A little different to a lot of the other material on here. Yep... that's me singing.

"My Mother Takes Ecstasy" by DJ Compound.

On this page you'll find some of my: 

1. Original studio material;
2. Original live electronic tracks, (some of which are collaborations); 
3. Original remixes / edits / mash ups;
4. Original producer only efforts;
5. Vinyl / turntable DJ Mixes, (only 1 now as they take up too much of the allowable space but I'll figure out another place to put some more of them in due course.)

I've tried to explain my function in all of the various recordings in the description section as the moniker, " DJ Compound" doesn't aptly describe my function in some, (but it's worth only having one name so that the various work I've put together over the years can be all found in the one place.)

Some of this stuff has been sitting around for years gathering dust so better to have it up here rather than corrupting on hard disks... with any luck you'll find something you like. 

Having said all that I've also revisited some of the older material extensively and reworked it as best I can in order to bring it up to speed. 

Anyway, enjoy and thanks for dropping in. 

Regards,

Nicholas Moran aka DJ Compound.
