I've changed my blog hosts, so I'm over here now! Cometh!!
Spring 2007 PodcastApril 19 2007
Hey folks. Sorry for the delay. My podcasting has gone something like the Albion - was looking fine around Christmas and has just stuttered since. Life is busy nowadays, so I'll probably do casts every few months or every quarter. Hey, maybe less frequency will mean higher quality?

I had podcasters block for quite a while with this one, though eventually settled on the following selection. This podcast has been influenced by the recent two Audio Therapy sampler albums - go check them out. Also, if you like this podcast then you'll also like the Sequential compilations by Hernan Cattaneo, and Balance compilations by Jimmy Van M and James Holden.

If you enjoy the cast then don't forget to leave a comment in my iTunes profile!

Not much to say about this months cast folks, other than I switched from MixMeister 6 to MixMeister Fusion for this one, which enabled me to extend the Madonna track with Fusions new looping. I was lovin the track so much that I didnt want it to fade out, so I looped an extra 10 bars onto the end of it, and ended up with a monster 5 minute mix into the final track. I can only speak for myself, but it sounds pretty damn fine from here! Enjoy....

Sep / Oct 2006 PodcastNovember 12 2006
The opening 2 tracks by The Shamen take me back to the turn of the 90's when I was just leaving the indie world to discover this strange new music that Martin introduced me to, called House. It was bands like The Shamen and remixers like Weatherall and Steve Proctor that bridged the two genres for me, remixing various indie artists such as Mock Turtles, James, Primal Scream and That Petrol Emotion. Before I knew it, I had swapped my Dr Martens and James t-shirts for trainers and Michiko Koshino.

The first dance compilation I ever bought was Warehouse Raves 4, which contained the brilliant Brazil - Spectrum, and here I've used it in an unsuspecting mash up with Duran Duran.

I've finished this cast with the brilliant title track from the recent Hybrid album, though I have to say I was very dissapointed with the remainder of the album.
