Here’s a funky one that’s still brewing. I used the Alesis QS6 for all the sounds on the track and then Matthew Hundley laid down some funky guitar chops over it. This track and Fast Pace are going to be included on the new album I hope to put together by the end of the summer.

A Rube Goldberg machine is a deliberately over engineered machine that performs a very simple task in a very complex fashion, usually including a chain reaction.

Here’s a slight change of pace with Amber Scott covering Angel from Montgomery, an old country song written by John Prine in 1971. Amber and myself recorded this live just the other night because Amber felt like singing again after all these years. This is a song we always played well together. Matthew Hundley added some sweet guitar licks that put it all together.

This is a live one that features David Jones on bass, Neil Jones on drums and Jeremy Scott on keyboards. A nice father and son improvisational moment.

Adding to the electronic styles for this month, this one was inspired by the fast pace work environment I’ve  been experiencing lately.  I used my Alesis Q6.1 for all the sounds and mixed it down with the Fostex recorder.  This will be the first of many more mixes to come since recording is coming a little easier these days.  Enjoy.

Continuing our exploration of electronic music this week, check out 95to695. This is my musical equivalent to my often crazy drive home from work, including the junction from I-95 to I-695 during evening rush hour.

This week’s post is a short deep house mix featuring some classic house tracks from the early 2000s mixed by Matt Cain. Using a pair of Technics 1200’s and a Numark mixer, Matt recorded directly into Audacity as he performed the live mix.

This week’s post is a Christmas mix coming from Tony Biedenkapp. Some time ago he used all the 7″ vinyl that he’d collected over the years and sliced and diced them up using 3 Technic 1200’s, a DJM 600 mixer and sampler.
Happy holidays to all, even if it’s a tad late.
