Deep house DJ mixes
Based on “ Love taken over (Quiet Storm Mix)” by Chante Moore that I discovered on the excellent Digital DJs podcast.
I added the keyboards and the beats from bits and pieces (no actual keyboard playing – I know my limits). Had a great time doing the editing!
Sometimes all you need is some encouragement, some inspiration and some time:
some kind words from Penny Pincher
the Stewart Copeland appearance on Mac OSX Conference on IT Conversations.
3 hours where I should have been taking care of my accounting
The results: a mashup of Stewart’s one-liners (and there were quite some, check out the show, it’s excellent!), [...]
This is what I would call a ‘quickie’:
I rehashed a scratch sample to a groove, recorded (with my GuitarPort) a bass line and a guitar riff to go with it, programmed the drums one beat at a time, and finished the whole thing in less than an hour.

Mashup of ‘Step into the dark’ (Marc Moulin) and ‘Ten percent’ (Double Exposure)
Made this on a quiet evening, using samples from the ‘Sampled’ series. The base beat is from Groove Armada. Had to straighten a 5/4 break to fit my 4/4 format.
