nebulae : wallpaper
©2008



The first nebulae record in six years! Some of my proudest work came from shows I played over the past couple of years. I compiled it into two 40-minute livesets (movements), recorded, produced, and mastered entirely on Ableton Live 6 and 7. The first movement is an electro house set, and the second is melodic breaks. This record maintains the "live" feel by keeping the transitions unpolished and the effects overly dramatic. Enjoy.

Reviews:

"Obviously superb mixing, and a consistent style. I love the sounds used. Its all so warm and silky and spacey. Also the extra little details like the glitchy bits in "Other Planets" really make it. Most impressed by this."
- Condra, AbletonLiveDJ.com

"Sounding great man! I think some of these may just end up on a mix eventually."
- Marsh240sx, AbletonLiveDJ.com

"All I can say is FAT! Very impressive. I was thinking that you should play the song at 34:30 the next time you have a court date. Get the beats pumping while you walk up to the bench...now that would be an opening!"
- Vinkalmann, AbletonLiveDJ.com

"Just finished part 1, and it is full of awesome !!! Lots of subtle variations throughout, great energy flow, kick ass sounding all the way through! On to part 2 ..."

"Well here we go had a listen to both of them and have to say that i really enjoyed the second more cause of personal taste.....both of them were extremely well done and my hat goes off to you bro:) will look forward to hearing more of your stuff in the future... i would agree i wouldn't mind hearing the first one in the club that's for sure."

After releasing Wallpaper for DJs: "You bastard. That's how you should have released it in the first place Mr. 80's Mix Tape."

"Hey man, (writing as I discover), that’s good stuff!! Makes my morning very good and joyful. Thanks. (more to come hopefully..)"
- Pamelita (Amo), Ableton

"I like Buzzin' in Berlin and Chaos. Buzzin' in Berlin would definitely make a nice intro track for a studio mix."
- Zonkerbl, AbletonLiveDJ.com

"Bugger...wish I'd have listened to these before putting the acid mix together...that Chaos track would have fitted right in. Liked all of these mate...my 2 favourites are Other Planets and Chaos with Gong a close third. I'm definetly adding those to the stuff i need to get warped to take away in August with me."

"Wow man, this is really impressive stuff....My favourite is definitely Gong. Really great track, sort of experimental but at the same time a solid track. Followed by Drill, loving the sounds in that track. Buzzin in Berlin comes third with those really nice distant acid noises, nice buildup, not sure if it's chill out or full-on but I like it. I would definitely play those three."
