049: I want ur luv (extended techno version)

2025-07-28
I know I know, look I'm fascinated by how both the vox and the bassline don't quite fit into normal patterns but that somehow it works. Idk if I'll ever get bored of it so this may not be the last version. Slightly different style from usual

2025-07-28
Testing my new indoor setup - which I don't have to dismantle right after use every time \o/, and I'm making the most of it. This is a pretty wompy mix, testing the new setup, in preparation for some sort of live set potentially

046: reactor self cleaning cycle

2025-06-21
so waaay back in the 1800s when the idea of a techno reactor was first conceived, even then they realised there would be stuff you didn't want... bum notes, missed drops, whatever. Well over time that stuff clogs up your reactor and you definitely don't w

045: subwoofer stress test

2025-06-14
Inspired by a Colin Benders set I kinda loved how he fished around for pitches and sounds while in the mix, and risking making those changes led to a better overall mix. So I figured I'd try relaxing my position on in-mix changes...subwoofer ON

044: newfloor

2025-05-27
it's not very often I'd get to make this very niche wordplay, but this is a short mix to unwind after fitting my new floor (which happens to also be hard) so I couldn't resist. Here we're back to basics, drum machine, 303 and off we go!

043: entropea returns

2025-05-09
I just re-built and revised my "Entropea" expression controller (now with hold switches), so this is a short test-drive on it. In this case it's running a Roland S1 micro-synth through the bluebox mixer

041: 777-meditation

2025-05-03
a slow, somewhat self-indulgent meditation on just the FutureRetro 777, showing off some of the twisted sounds it can make. There's also a tiny bit of bubbling acidity from the TD3

040: LD50:50 - trancey acid techno set on the mobile reactor - birthday set!

2025-04-26
Slowly evolving trancey acid mix from my recent birthday! I did several live mixes that weekend but this was my favourite. It had the TD3 and the FutureRetro 777 just working perfectly together with the TR8S.
