Downtempo Bass



First played on Hokitika's blutree 88.1 FM, thursday 7th May 2015 at 8pm. A mix of new downtempo, glitchy ambient tunes. Blutree FM is closing down on may 31st, (after 8 years. boo!) so please message me if you want me to continue posting mixes and i'll start doing podcasts instead.
Oh, I lied about the downtempo. It starts downtempo but certainly doesn't stay there. We slowly move into more animated realms (hints of old fashioned acid techno, no less) before settling back down again.

A Time to Trance



One whole bucket load of trance, staying just this side of the 1am madness. The relentless beat slowly rising from 128, finishing at about 136 per minute, mixed old style with extra trimmings of FX layered on top. A warm up to get your blood flowing and your mind loosened out. Where did i put that UV cannon?

Remixing remixes, Part 2




Part two! No nasty surprises in these tracks. I do love a good remix. Still not quite over Pretty Light's mean mean ending to the fly like an eagle remix in part one. In this section we wander up to the higher end of the mid-tempo range from a cruisy start, making sure to check into the swing lounge every now and again to stop the beats getting too relentless, then leaving before the trumpets get tired. I'm left in the mood for an up-tempo show, but its hard to pull one of those off at 8pm, maybe when we move from FM to internet streaming...

Swing, Baby, Swing









Listen Here: http://special-solutions.net/sounds/mixes%20wot%20i%20did/2015-03-27_radio_swing.mp3



There's a time of night when the beats must be hard and driving, when your mind leaves this world behind. There's a time of night when you want to lie back and lose yourself in expansive soundscapes. And then there is time to get down, wobble your butt about and have a ball. Swing, baby, swing.

i forgot to press record until a few tracks in, so the start is a bit intense. Sorry about that!

Remixing Remixes, Part 1


this week's show is in two parts, as I had a big natter in the middle. (un)fortunately for you, the talking bit goes through a desk i'm not recording off, so you don't get to luxuriate in the sound of my dulcet tones.
Basically, i searched for the word 'remix' and got a heap of tracks. I added these to a big playlist, then mixed them together. 
I learnt that i should never trust pretty lights to finish a song properly ever again. the dropped end to the 'fly like an eagle' remix caught me out. grr.
Other than that, Hope you enjoy...
