I’m very pleased at how these remixes came out, all the producers involved really gave it their all and turned in some fantastic complements to the original versions of “The Perfectly Damaged”. The goal right now is to have this out by Dec/Jan, if all goes well you should see it on iTunes and Amazon along side the original album.

Polytechnic Recordings will be handing a DJ friendly release of Erphun’s remix, slated to be available on Beatport Jan/Feb of 2010. I’m also going to set up a DJ friendly release of both Visitor 7 and Android Cartel’s mixes, as the originals were too long for the 60min album release. More on that as it develops!

Was pleased to find out that Charles at Blue Buddah got “Jaded Reprise” from my album synced with this new series on atom.com appropriately called “Intercourse With A Vampire”.

Most people know I’m quite a horror film fan, and I’ve found the bastardization of  vampires in popular culture right now to be downright awful. These teen angst vampire love triangles are way to emo for me, and I’m glad Jacob was interested in having my song in his little spoof.

So check this out if you need a laugh this Halloween:

The time has come. I’ve been milking my PowerMac G5 now for a good 4 year run, and it’s seen a lot of projects pass through its processors, but ever since Logic 9 was released earlier this year I knew its days were numbered. After struggling with some of the new features in Logic 9, I decided it’s time to start investigating an upgrade.

For the past three days I tore down the studio, thought it would be a good opportunity to check out the cables and connections going in and out of the rig, including the leeds to the Ensemble. Theres something quite gratifying about tearing the whole rig down just to put it back together, but maybe thats just the audio geek in me.

So with the new MacPro successfully nested in its new rig, software and plug ins installed and ready to roll, I’m excited to get back to work.

I don’t normally deviate from studio stuff, but this was too cool not to mention. My pops has a budding 2nd career now writing screenplays, and on tuesday we went to his first film’s premiere at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood for Scream Fest 2009. I shot this video on my iPhone 3Gs, and threw this together to give everyone a glimpse of our night. Enjoy!

More to come from the Cell, I’m currently upgrading my PowerMac G5 to a new Intel Mac Pro, will be discussing that process next!

here is the latest installment of my video blog, this time I sit down with Danny Fluck to discuss his remix of my track ‘The Numb’ for the upcoming remix album.

was held up all Sunday working on a new remix for Kris B’s Nightshade music. had a blast coming up with some tech-y beats and fucking around with the original songs melody.

check out the vid i captured of the session:

the bass line synth is my Virus Ti, quite enjoying the new 3.0 OS and its interface, much easier to read now. I modeled the drums you hear from D16’s plug ins that recreate the 606 and the 909 styled sound, but this is still in early stages and there is much to do…

quick video blog entry, had a cool idea in the Spider Problem remix session on Sunday that I wanted to share with you all. check it out.

so I’ve been putting a lot of hours into the new album’s pre-production, sorting out tracks and trying to find some consistency between the songs that will eventually end up being a part of the 12 song album. after some hard weeks glued to this project, I was ready to take a break and focus on some designing for the upcoming remix project’s layout.

this also gives me a chance to catch up on some albums I’ve been meaning to listen to, can’t design without iTunes blaring something. gotta say the new Revolting Cocks album took me by surprise, theres always been a laughable quality from this side project of Al Jourgensen’s but I got to hand it to the man, maybe its the comfort of being in his new ‘compound’ in Texas, or the fact that Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) is on board for this record, he’s made a brilliant LP.

other than that, I must return to some production work in the studio. Spider Problem’s got me remixing a new single from them called ‘Bullet’, and along with the ever growing list of projects that need completing I shouldn’t be slacking off for much longer. Lets not mention my new addiction to Arkham Asylum, it’s mindless yet captivating qualities are keeping me up at night.
