"....replaced by a demon."

DJ Strobe - "Super Low MF"

This is a track I made a year or two ago. It's a "recent" remix though really.

I think it's storming. I've been trying to get it online for ages now. The original version is on my Myspace (evil service owned by the fascist Rupert "The Bear" Murdoch).

My last DJ slot was May '06. Played the original of this on that night. A couple of people came up to me and said "What was that track at 10 o'clock?". I said "That was me!"

This was the culmination of 10 years of producing and DJing (albiet intermittently). It was the first time I'd actually DJed one of my own tunes.

The track itself is sparse. Dark. Heavy. D'n'B. Dirty. Distorted. 10 mins long. The bass just rolls and warps practically non-stop throughout the whole track.

If you want to listen to it you will have to click on the word itself as opposed to the normal blue arrow. It doesn't seem to stream when I click the blue arrow. The MP3 is stored on EZArchive. I don't think they've quite got their act together yet.

If you left-click Windows Media Player or another music player will load and play it. If you right-click you will have to choose "sAVE tARGET aS" or whatever the equivalent is on Firefox or your Mac.

Enjoy. Oh! And don't download and pretend to your mates that you made this track!

Software used - Acid Pro, Fruity Loops, Wavelab, Octamed. Technology - PC, Amiga. Samples pinched - Laurie Anderson "O Superman" and a guitar sample taken off a Low track.

Here is a link to music that I have made:DJ Strobe on del.icio.us.

And here the music of other people that I link to: My del.icio.us MP3s.

And, as usual, I've posted this track on my main MP3 blog - Clik and Lissen.

Here is the MP3, again, that this post is supposed to be all about.

DJ Strobe - "Super Low MF"

Oh yeah, and the reason I called this post "....replaced by a demon." will be revealed when you listen to the track all the way through. Well, at least as far as the big drop/breakdown around about the 8 minute mark.

"I step outside and I walk on by but it's just like your body's been replaced by a demon." Words/rap/singing sample copyright to Howie, my occasional vocalist. Nice one mate, you bring the track together. You ram home the fact that this track is supposed to be dark and technological with the weird phaser effect that I added to your spooky one-liner stolen from an old jam down Newport Transpose Music Studios.

Update: Stupid EZarchive. I've extended my bandwidth eh???? What a shock!!!

Goodbye to www.blogger.com..

...and hello to Blogr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so fed up with this service (Blogger.com). Fed up with it crashing all the time. I'm sure it's happened to you too......You type in www.blogger.com into your address bar, press enter and expect to go to the login page so you can tell the world about the fantastic thing you just discovered.....and then....

NOTHING HAPPENS!!!!!

Just a blank screen ...then........ "The Page you are ......blah blah blah". An error.

So I started using my del.icio.us account a bit more. Anything I save on there appears down the side of this blog anyway.

But then I discovered Blogr.

It looks fantastic. You can upload podcasts, photos and videos and tag everything. It's proper Web 2.0 you know. Blogger just seems so old-fashioned these days.

The problem with Blogger is greed. So many people have "blogspots" now that when you're trying to log in half of America is trying to log in at the same time. It just cannot work.. It all just hangs there..Anyway, I'm going home now....So, just to confirm. Check out Blogr!!!

And don't forget http://moblog.co.uk/blog/strobez2006 my new moblog!!!!! (upload pics to your blog via your mobile..)

Just like me… just like me… they long to be… close to you… why do…why do… why do…no that’s not working. Well you get the general idea. Thank you.
