Emerald - Nostramus

Hypnogogia Records - GOG 1201, 12" EP Comp

Unique track submitted to a 4 track EP. Emerald. Released 1997.

Latin Drum and Bass.  Credits include songwriting, sound design, arranging, performance, recording, mixing and production. Recorded at the 33 Studio, Luton in 1997.  The Hypnogogia Collective of artists, musicians and other creatives showcase EP.  I submitted this track warts and all because it was a dance-hall killer when played out live at Hypnogogia's party's. After several failed attempts of remixing this to correct some sampler steal off, I let the original 'quick mix' go because it had a certain warmth and depth to it's sound. Lesson; be wary of sterilising the essence out of a mix!

Bob Marley Re-mixes as part of  Groove Deluxe. One day whilst working at Groove Deluxe's studio in Fulham , a guy walked into the studio and announced himself as Danny - Bob Marley's manager previous to the Chris Blackwell - Island Records period. He had with him a number of old master tapes which he said he still had the rights to and offered Darren and Paul a deal to remix a few of them. I tried to persuade the guys to go for the split cash up front option rather than points, but they would have none of it, opting instead for a higher point percentage! The result was that we spent most of the year 2000 working on the material building up the mixes but once the cash flow problem kicked in, I could no longer afford the travel to the Fulham studios and had to seek employment elsewhere. I lost touch with Groove Deluxe whom later finished the project. I ended up well out of pocket (2 - 3k at the least) and heard conflicting stories that the project was frozen because of rights issues. Recently, I found out the project did in fact complete in 2001. Lesson; keep your head and go for the upfront money and a shared point system if you can! Credits include, sound design, arrangement, programming, mixing and co-production as part of the Groove Deluxe team. Recorded 2000 Fulham.

Hope Compilation - UK Decay

Sophie Lancaster Foundation - Digital Download

Unique recording of a track by UK Decay submitted to the Hope Foundation awareness raising download compilation that campaigned for an amendment to the Hate Crime laws. A specially tweaked and remastered version of UK Decay's 'Battle Of The Elements' Club mix. Released 2011.

UK Decay's 1981 recording of Battle Of The Elements from the For Madmen Only album was fine the way it was, but as an experiment I lined it up on a Nuendo timeline and steadied the tempo all the way through - the natural recording wandered somewhat. Once 'clocked to the tempo' I added a more substantial kick drum to the mix and then re-mastered.Credits include, songwriting, arranging, performance, recording, mixing, production and mastering. Remastered at my studio in Luton in 2010.
