Daft Monkey - Live Mix

Monkey in the mix

In the summer I bought myself a Hercules console and set about learning how to mix by pressing buttons and hitting stuff. I made my first pre-recorded mixtape a while ago but didn't feel it was good enough to share here. My next effort is a little better but still very amateur! In no way am I proclaiming this to be anything amazing at all - I just thought a few of you might like a listen and if anyone can give me feedback, positive or negative, I would really appreciate it. The mix is a live set I played at a party in Cardiff last Tuesday and I've called it "Daft Monkey" (there's a lot of Daft Punk in there)

I'll be posting some of the tracks over the next week or so - look forward to that!

Gah-ha! I've just had one of those moments where you hear a track for the first time and. it. just. clicks. When it happens you know you've hit gold. But you don't really know what sound to make. Or at least its difficult to write that sound down. Gah-ha will have to do.

The culprit of the above delight was a track called "Embrace" by Australian electro artists Pnau. While Pnau tinker around in the background with ambient electro sounds, label-buddy Ladyhawke pops in to provide vocals. I have to admit, after the initial excitement, it starts to lop about towards the end... (I'm actually listening to it now, still for the first time - I type fast). Still its definitely worth a listen!

Oh-e-yeah and Fred Falke & Miami Horror have remixed it. Cheers!

And, I thought I'd mention, Pnau are starting to grow on me like a small apple tree sending out its first tentative roots into a rigid mass of complexly structured soil. Maybe they're growing on you too? Here's a track to, er, fertilise your minds...(I don't think I'll be using this metaphor again).
