Some of you might dig this:

Someone said that the guitar makes Outdoor Life sound like New Order, which is totally fine with me. A reviewer called the flip, Crosstrainers, "luvstep" - I guess that means the opposite of "brostep"?

Either way, hope you like.

If anyone wants some good, old-fashioned disco-bootlegging house, I've got this up as a free download:


Obviously the heat is getting to me if I'm making "fun" music.

Really want to get back into production soon. I need a midi keyboard, though, programming melodies with a mouse is just not spontaneous enough.

Also must stop wishing I could make music that I could never make lol

The embedding isn't working for whatever reason so I had to click the link. Worth it tho - some nice Basic Channel-type dub techno stuff going on there.

Not Me - 2011 12s

Seems like a good time to mention this new project that I'm at the very early stages of.

The project is going to be called 2011 12s and it's going to replace my previous 10-20 2010 project (http://csaf-records.com/10-20-2010/). It'll be a series of five free high-quality MP3 downloads formatted as 'virtual 12" singles'. The 'A-side' of each release will feature a new track by my Not Me project. The 'B-side' of each will feature one or more third-party remixes of the same track.

Not Me is, very broadly, my "beats" project, encompassing elements of minimal techno, dubstep, hip-hop and glitch.To get an idea of what it sounds like, take a listen to these MP3s of rough mixes:
http://csafrecords.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/05-lss-example.mp3
http://csafrecords.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/ntm-one-pad-mix.mp3
http://csafrecords.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/dbm-instrumental-demo1.mp3

I've already uploaded two albums-worth of rough mixes like these plus all the original loops I used to make the mixes. The files can be downloaded from this link:
http://www.box.net/shared/eg9l5nqpbe

Please feel free to download the samples, make your own versions of the tracks and send them to me. Can't promise I'll end up using everything people send but the general motto of this project is "the more the merrier" (a bit counter-intuitive, considering how minimal the actual music is).

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to PM me.

That remix project sounds interesting - I'll have a look at that now.

When the whole future-garage thing gets really techy, I guess it turns into funky techno? That's pretty much what happened here:


Also, that stuff that Aww Nein put up in seriously different-sounding stuff. It kind of confuses me, tbh, but I can see some of the more adventurous types digging it.
