I've uploaded a new track for the Disquiet Junto, which you can listen to and download below.  It's based on the rhythms of Morse code.

The guts of the instructions for this week were to pick a word or phrase, turn it into Morse code and then make a rhythm using dots as short beats and dashes as long beats.

In 2010 I did a remix for Fat Freddy's Drop that showed up on the single 'The Raft'.  At the time I actually did two versions, one of which never saw release.  So, yeah, here it is for free.

Wellington act Cold Eyes put out an EP called 'Young Adults' last month and has followed it up with a bonus release, 'Younger', which is packed with remixes and a few other unreleased bits.  Listen to my Jet Jaguar remix below or click the links in that last sentence.  (Duh!)

 I'm playing a free set in-store at Cosmic's Cuba Mall store this Saturday.  Come down for some or all of it.  Stuff on sale too, apparently!

Tonight at 10pm (NZ time - check your timezone) The New Zealand Electronic Show on Kiwi FM is on, and you can hear my live set from last week's Wellington album release party.

Stream online if you like.  

Fuck this guy.  He goes and makes all these great beats, including an EP I was even kind enough to go on about last year.  I deliberately seek out beatmakers for remixes, setting up a nice angle for this release.  He picks the most Dilla-flavoured beat from the originals.  And then turns in a completely beatless remix built entirely around layering up heaps of horn parts.

No, not Prince's drummer, but Steph has been drumming for 13 years.  She's also a student in VUW's sonic arts programme, exploring acousmatic composition and similar mysteries, and, yep, producing beats with machines too.  This is her first released tune as a producer, but I was sufficiently impressed by the tracks on her Soundcloud that I had to ask her to get involved.

I've actually got a blog post queued up to link to one of Auckland producer Shanalog's free tracks off his second EP, 'Nature'.  Bit weird, will feel like oblique promo when it publishes...  Shannon is also half of the endlessly curious Deer Park.

Andrew Loughnan has released a bunch of moody instrumental hip-hop gear as Group Five, and has recently made the call to switch to just going by his own name.  He's a man of genuinely catholic tastes, often plundering the Second Viennese School or German free jazz records for sample fodder.  Out of love, not to be a pain.
