Cinematic Orchestra Live Clip

Tony — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 04:06:29 +0000

Came across this fantastic link of a live performance of the epic Cinematic Orchestra song “Build a home”. What a talent. To be able to captivate a room, and even to captive me, in a little 450 by 300 pixel Youtube video window. I’ve always been a fan of these guys but this album has a really mature sound to it.

Laurent Garnier - Man With The Red Face (Mark Knight and Funkagenda mix)

It’s back again. The track we all knew and loved back in 1999. Laurent Garnier’s awesome epic anthem “The Man With The Red Face”. It gets a re-work from the ToolRoom boys Mark Knight and Funkagenda. I have to say when I heard this had been redone I was a bit skeptical as there is alot of badly done reworking of sacred classics going around at the moment. But I have to say, having listened to it from start to finish and mixing it a bit, it is a really good tribute to the legendary original. Not a remake, but more of a tip of the hat to Garnier. It will probably be hammered around club land and people will grow a bit tired of it, bit it is one of th0se tracks that will stay in record bags for a long time. It has all the elements of the original but has added a few more tweeks and edits, including a longer intro and the original saxaphone seems to peak and roll for even longer. Get it if you can.

A new Deep Tech House mix is up. I created this mix for the nice Canadian community over at House Addict. The mix was made on a long haul flight from Dublin to Sydney. It kinda represents the flight for me as we flew from day time, through the night then landed in daylight again. So the mix starts of nice and light, gets a bit dark in the middle and comes out smiling again in the end. I hope you enjoy it. It sure helped me to pass the time between airline meals and bad movies. Thanks Kate for putting up with the racket and interruptions during the flight.

New deep tech mix coming soon, plus an interview at House Addict

Tony — Mon, 19 May 2008 01:44:02 +0000

Hello all. Just back from four fantastic weeks holiday in Ireland and Prague. So much fun, drinking, smoking, eating and laughing. Just a note to let you know I’m working on a new Deep Tech mix and it should be ready later in the week. I made it for the nice community over at House Addict. They were also kind enough to host an interview of me which you can find here. They seem to have loads of content and some great mixes. The mix I’m finishing up was made on a long haul flight from Sydney to Dublin, then Dublin to Sydney, so I had plenty of time to play.

Aaron Carl - Crucified (Rob Modells Mix)

This track comes off a 3 track, pink coloured 12 inch. The tracks are all based on the Aaron Carl 1996 garage house track ‘Crucified’. Let me start by saying that this track isn’t going to burn down the house, it has no infectious hook, not stomping baseline, just pure, sweeping, hypnotic deepness. With its repetitive loop of the “like a river’ portion of the original, a simple soft jabbing chord and subtle baseline, it really manages to get inside your head and not let go. It’s a long track, a full side of a 33rpm 12 inch, but it keeps its relentless deepness throughout and really lets you get lost in it. All three tracks here are fantastic but for me this b side mix is the best.

Nu Frequency - Go That Deep (Charles Webster Remix)

Beautiful piece of music here as ever from Charles Webster. Featuring the vocals from the Massive Attack vocalist Shara Nelson. The 4/4 beat takes a back seat on this one and it works really well as it lets the vocals shine. A rolling brooding baseline with a spine tingling hypnotic synth. This is a hugely emotive track and gets two thumbs up from me. Its out on vinyl already and a digital release later in the month. I have just heard another Webster remix of the same track (Remix 2) and it sound pretty decent too. This one is the pick of the bunch for me though.

Laidback Niceness has been uploaded.

Howdy all. Just letting you know that the entire Laidback Niceness series has been uploaded. This series is probably the most popular out of all the genres on the site, as my webstats would lead me to believe. The mixes have been going for about 6 years now and there are 9 in total. Great for working or driving to. Normally with this series I start of quite laidback and slowly shift the pace a bit as the mix progresses. They contain plenty of soundscapes, vocals and acoustic elements with a nice solid beat resounding throughout.
