When The Wind Blows

These are two (unreleased) remixes of "Swagger", a 1992(?) single by Manchester-band This Gigantic World. Jason from the band was a friend of Dominic Varle and they seemed keen for us to do this at the time...until they heard the result which transformed it from 'baggy' into a ambient-techno thing with (quote) "A Mickey Mouse vocal". Personally I loved the 303 bassline on it and it always felt like a UXB track with a sampled vocal rather than a 'remix'. A note of acknowledgement should go to Winton Simpson whose 303 it was. Even though it was broken and couldn't be programmed it was great to use the 3 or 4 random patterns it seemed to produce ad twiddle the knobs. Hence all the frequancy shifts, drop-ins/outs and mixing on this is being done 'live' down onto DAT as the sequences play.

04 Swagger

Kwerk1, Kwerk2 and The Love of Which utilise a basic sample around which I built a riff and then improvised the 'mix' with a live 303 straight down onto DAT. These are warts-and-all takes, unedited.

'Every Time You Touch Me' was my entry for a Moby remix competition of his single of the that name. I didn't win but I still like my version.

09 Every Time You Touch Me (remix)

08 The Love of Which...v2

07 Kwerk2

06 Kwerk1

A jam between UXB and Faceless from the early 1990s, mixed down live to stereo DAT. Using a genuine TB-303, breakbeat samples, Ensoniq ESQ-1 and Mirage sampler

Since I never had the 303 for long many of these were written/recorded in a single 3 or 4 hour session.

303 Heaven is the 303 + drum machine.
