open call for remixing

I am planning a Salakapakka Sound System remix EP. I have already two lovely fellows who have agreed to do a remix/reworking of SSS material. If you feel like toying with SSS tracks, feel free to contact me. Any style or genre is accepted.

I´ve made lately some remixing/reworking myself. Latest remixes will hopefully materialize in one form or another in near future. One of the strangest remixes I made is available for streaming here. It is an experimental remix of Sarah Fimm´s song Everything becomes whole using only Sarah´s voice as a sound material. Don´t be fooled by the fact that it appears in a remix contest. I never believe it is going to win, I only made it because I felt like doing and trying something totally different compared to original track. What bugs me about majority of today´s remixes is that they tend to be unimaginative trance/dance/whatever remixes aimed mostly at dance floor audience. I am sick of hearing that bumping drum and bass wankery. Well, making a dance mix of some power electronics track might be quite ...challenging (not to mention how much would it piss noise fanatics and trance airheads off).

Bloody hell... this was a 100th post on this blog. Raise a glass of absinthe for me.

Gear-a-holic part 10

This is my new toy. I call it junknator 1. It is basically just a bunch of small iron and springs attached to each other and piece of wood. Contact and close micing + some delicate chosen effects give some nice sounds. I haven´t yet made any track by using it but sometime in future you will hear it in action. Maybe junknator 2 will materialize too.

And here is my latest purchase, Indian shruti box. I love the sound of Indian instruments but unfortunately it is nearly impossible to try and test them anywhere near where I live. I sold some records which I don´t listen anymore to finance this charming (but slightly dysfuncional) unit. Just can´t wait until I have enough spare time to toy with it.
