ach, nein!

i was gonna wait a bit before posting this, but heck:

pixels/forest - 9999

it's been hanging around for ages, and i finally finished it at the weekend. good? i think so, although it could probably do with a rap middle eight. but then what couldn't eh, what couldn't? if anyone knows john barnes, mc miker g or dead prez, get em to give me a call.

dance + chillax

i was going to do a bunch of data entry this weekend so i could earn some money for my holidays, but i got a bit sidetracked:

pixels/forest - x X x X x.mp3

what a beauty! after all that dancing, here's a remix i did for bis about 5 years ago (you remeber, when "chillout" was tearing up the hit parade [although i always considered myself more of a "leftfield/downtempo electronica" artist, urgh]):

bis - the end starts today (national forest remix)

with that off my chest, i can now make my tea and spend the rest of the night getting repetitive strain injury from typing strings of numbers into a database.

take yr mum under the duvet

i did a remix for scissor sisters a while back. the day i got offered it i saw them on top of the pops doing comfortably numb and thought "cripes". a few days later i sent the track off to the kindly folk at polydor, and in return they sent me some £ for some new speakers, which i used to create this little beaut (which is well better than the version that made it onto the record):

scissor sisters - take your mama (national forest alternative mix)

whilst we're at it, here's a remix i done for matchsticks, from glasgow, scotland:

matchsticks - duvet (national forest remix)

the original is a total beauty, track down everything you can by flying matchstick men/the matchsticks/matchsticks and cry yourself to sleep that they're no longer with us.

dolby to dot to glasgow to mcr

i just had a pretty rad weekend: dolby anol at queering the pitch [manchester], dot to dot [nottingham], my pal graham's house [glasgow] and back home, all in less than 48 hours, yikes. over the couse of the days + nights i learnt many things, such as:

1. dancing to sidechained compressors is rad
2. ichiban noodle cafe is rad
3. lethal bizzle is raddest

to celebrate, here's my remix of bizzle's old crew's hit record 'oi', with noodle and compressor based tracks to follow in the coming days.

more fire crew - oi (spackup)
