Steady Tremor

Steady Tremor is a relatively recent track (given my studio drought of the last few years).  It was produced in January of 2005, a time of year (fall/winter) when I am generally most productive in the studio.  (I not a fan of sitting in a studio during the hot summer, and air-conditioners tend to interfere ...

New Predicament

New Predicament is a smooth acid flavored track from 2001.  While a straight forward track, it does have a breaky West Coast feel which makes it fun to play.  Aside from the percussion and airy samples, most of the sounds were produced by the mighty Virus synth, some sampled and morphed further in the DAW, ...

Carbon Face

Carbon Face is a funky track that was picked up by the Netherlands-based Work Hard Play Hard label and released in 2006 on a self titled 3 track EP.  The track was inspired by the techno-house sound of the early 2000′s pioneered by Italian producers like Marco Carola, Rino Cerrone, Gaetano Parisio and others, and is essentially ...

Imogen Heap’s "Hide and Seek" in Time

If you are familiar with the track Hide And Seek, you know that its a voice-only track, vocoded and layered to perfection by the one and only Imogen Heap.  This little missy just released her new album Ellipse and while I’m still trying to get into it, I remembered that a while ago I tried ...

Decoy

In the short list of my most favorite techno labels has to be Luxus, a short lived German imprint known for intelligent arrangements built on crispy, groovy beats and superbly put together.  A few records by Plasmatics and Lower Level released on this label were frequently heard in my mixes, as well as of other New ...

Fake House

Fake House is a rare house track of the bunch.  It sort of caught me by surprise and took all of about 4 hours to arrange.  It has a very raw, sample-based vibe which makes it a fun track to play (and play with) in an early or late set. The creamy bass line was played ... Read More

Tori Amos – Iieee (Montaz remix)

Tori rules.  And there’s really no need to mess with her stuff but I decided to do it anyway as an exercise and the result is this remix of Iieee, from her 1998 album From the Choirgirl Hotel.  Working with only the original track and wanting to keep her voice present as much as possible ...

Panic Relapse

We’re going way back to year 2000 for this one.  Its one of the very early Alek Biotic productions, in fact, its number 11.  But of well over a hundred tracks this one stands out since its the one and only progressive trance track. Since this genre wasn’t really my style this track was never ... Read More

Madness

This track was my submission for a CLR (Chris Liebing’s awesome label) remix competition.  Chris had released his Evolution LP around this time (2004) and the challenge was to remix the track American Madness.  My remix didn’t make the cut but since its completely different from the original I dropped the first word from the ...

Decade Of Dissonance

Decade Of Dissonance started out as a remix of Michael Jackson’s Thriller.  That idea was quickly dropped and the track took a direction of its own.  However, things kept getting in the way and it would take more than a year before it was done.  Its another relatively long track and it takes a bit ...
