Hey guys, check out this “tune” I “wrote”

Feb 03 2010 Published by Dan under music

By tune I mean I just recorded myself juggling, then played that back and recorded something else on top of it, and then again, and then again. I’m nowhere near as good as I want to be. This is pretty basic stuff I guess. Also too much echo. And too much stuff in general.

Anyway, enjoy!

This was originally a mix I made for my girlfriend but I kept changing it as I recorded… Took tracks out, added others, and now it’s something totally different. Anyway, this is the winter mix. A short mix for what will hopefully be a short winter.

Very minimal mixing in this one. A lot of just fadein-fadeouts. Easy!

Crystal Method vs. Uffie

Oct 14 2007 Published by Dan under music

Crystal Method - Tweekend Uffie - Pop The Glock

I guess this would be called a “live mashup”? In one my Beyond sets I played these tracks on top of each other. Someone requested I rerecord it as a stand-alone… And here it is.
