To be honest, I was very surprised! Usually blending together a selection of cool, fun and beautiful tracks, but just for fun without much need for skill. This time round it’s a serious mixtape with some cool surprises up it’s sleeve. I’m proud of my students, hehehe!
Inside scoop! Megane~zu will drop another mixtape soon, featuring your truly… Stay tuned..
I found another one of my older mixes! This time ’round from 2007. In this mix I decided to play many different styles; Minimal & Electro, Techno & IDM, some classics from different areas of the electronic-music spectrum and some leftfield tracks as well.
In the end I didn’t spread this mix since it contains a small error… One of the turntable ground wires slipped loose during play and a hum can be heard for about a second during The Hacker’s ‘Space Travel’. I remember my arm automatically leaping to the ground-cable to put it back in place!
Again, this mix is all vinyl and recorded using Audacity.
I found an old burned CD and wondered what was on it. Turns out is was an old Tech House demo I was spreading at the time! I ripped the CD, glued the tracks back together and upload it to our beloved Mixcloud.
I recorded this mix back in 2004, I guess sometime around summer. Vinyl only… I sure miss the days of hanging out at the record store..

As mentioned in my last post, I was working on a remix for Swedish group Monarken, It’s finished now!
I took the midi from the original bassline and combined it with some home-made synth sounds. I decided to use the original kick-drum and layered it with an 808. You’ll also notice CR-78 and TR-707 samples for some of the rhythm-sections and a few percussion loops taken from the original. So that’s why I decided to call it ‘Reprogram remix’.
