.: Warehouse Mentality - KetateK - [An open audiotool project]

Ok - sorry for lapse in updates. More coming soon.
I have moved house. I wll post more about that, but this article was lying around, ready to post.

This is nothing special, just some ye olde style warehouse tek - made in audiotool.com,
It took about 30 mins, over at a friends place.
All you need is a browser with flash and an internet connection.
Go there and open the actual track - you can see how i have used the different sound and fx. Then remix it if you feel like it.
Join the site - and post results below in the comments.. get a prize!




Audiotool is an online app / software environment, has a great array of effective and intuitive sound generators and access to a massive community library of samples other people have uploaded and made freely available with CC licences. If you can already sample and loop, then just upload away, and add your own loops to the Audiotool preset banks in the 'Cloud'.
Soon other people will be using your sounds in their tunes and you will get a contributing production credit, on the tracks they publish.
Like this amazing song below [not mine], somewhere it uses a little Juno sample I made.

Audiotool.com is due for an upgrade very soon.

.: Revolt - Daniel Savio [music video]

Daniel Savio 2012 on dodpop records

- The video portrays and lends space to those otherwise ostracized by society - the hunted and discriminated. Drug addicts, crazies, prowlers and prostitutes have no place in society and few sympathise with them. These people are the biggest losers in history.

- We depicted them as animals of equal standing - crows, rodents and raccoons and transformed them into beautiful and powerful survivors.

.: Doc - Underground Resistance



Underground Resistance is a label for a movement. A movement that wants change by sonic revolution. We urge you to join the resistance and help us combat the mediocre audio and visual programming that is being fed to the inhabitants of Earth, this programming is stagnating the minds of the people; building a wall between races and preventing world peace. It is this wall we are going to smash. By using the untapped energy potential of sound we are going to destroy this wall much the same as certain frequencies shatter glass. Techno is a music based in experimentation; it is music for the future of the human race. Without this music there will be no peace, no love, no vision. By simply communicating through sound, techno has brought people of all different nationalities together under one roof to enjoy themselves. Isn't it obvious that music and dance are the keys to the universe? So called primitive animals and tribal humans have known this for thousands of years! We urge all brothers and sisters of the underground to create and transmit their tones and frequencies no matter how so called primitive their equipment may be. Transmit these tones and wreak havoc on the programmers!

.: Warrior Rituals - [Unreleased]



Techno Warriors!

Arm yourselves with more of my unreleased techno tracks.
These were, pretty much, made by me -  for me - to spin at outdoor techno  parties, back in the day. [more about that soon - stay posted]

'Warrior Ritual', has been lying around in both it's forms for a while now, only seeing the light of day in Dj Manson sets, or on the occasional Cd I would burn to give away.

It sounds pretty good after 10 years of  cellaring. -even if it was made using Fruity Loops 3, - and the remix is pretty much the same track 3 years later, just fed through my Micromoog - [in maximum tweakage mode]

The Micromoog is a raspy, brash analog mono-synth, like a meaner, black vinyl, trailer-trash cousin of the much coveted Minimoog .
I received it as a gift, from a homeless man, who I met whilst sleeping out in a park - in Fitzroy,  [This must have been around summer 95/96, on a Vibetribe 'road trip']
We got to talking about music. I think he used to do prog rock? He told me his bitch ex-wife had a garage full of his old synths. and if I came backto the park, the next day, same time - he would have something for me.
And he did. :]

True story.
Great synth.

.: From the vault: Monocycle - Restless

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) or Willis-Ekbom disease is a neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's body to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations.[1] It most commonly affects the legs, but can affect the arms, torso, and even phantom limbs.[2] Moving the affected body part modulates the sensations, providing temporary relief.
