For those of you who might have missed it on Xynthetic's "Second Statement" album (free download), I've put the dFp contribution track "HyperCoast" up on the player here, taking distinct advantage of MySpace allowing a few extra songs...

All new Dirty Fire Project remix of "Beside You Through The Wires" avilable on Phylum Sinter's album "From Unity To Segmentation", out now on n5MD/Enpeg.


From Enpeg's site...

"Phylum Sinter's newest release "from unity to segmentation" was brought to us here at n5MD/Enpeg via our friends at the Xynthetic Label. After hearing it we jumped at the chance to release such a great record. Imagining Lunatic Harness era μ-ziq juxtaposed against the beatbending and padwork of label-mate Proem would not be such a stretch. We're even hearing some early Funckarma reflections behind all of it as well. Some very well written and executed IDM from this rising talent from Detroit."

Finally managed to delete the copy of Toxic that was stuck in "Processing" for nearly a week!  And only had to hack the URL to do it... stupid bloody myspace. Anyway, the preview is up now, hope you enjoy!

Finally managed to get my studio back up and online. As a direct result of that and also sorting out some problems I was having (see below), I've got a really good draft of another track for the EP!

"Toxic" is now available on the Dirty Fire Project Myspace Player.

I've recently tried to upgrade the PC I do music on, including getting a proper sound card for it instead of relying on the onboard Realtek chipset. However I've had to fight to get any sort of performance out of it as the latency was massive (> 100ms) and things were just sounding completely wrong (even if games were sounding fine).  One new version of Asio4All later, followed by reducing the buffer size (counter-intuitively) and the latency is holding at around 21ms which is just fine!  Also, with this track there was some kind of problem with the arp synth line spazzing out occasionally and hitting a note at maximum velocity on a change. Finally narrowed it down to a difference between two settings for the LFO synchronisation - one for some kind of MIDI clock that is internal to the synth and another that takes the signal from the host (Ableton Live).  The problem hasn't completely gone away, but it has made it miles better! Had to try things like separating out the arp synth in the break to a different channel and starting it early but enveloping the volume until it's official "trigger" time. And still it seems that it's pot luck whether the problem will happen at render time.  Most annoying.

However, I'm really pleased with the track.  Points awarded if you can tell what two sci-fi programmes some of the samples come from ;)

Okay, been busy with the rig I used for "The Chain", and I've come up with a track to follow it on the EP.

"Link" is now available on the Dirty Fire Project Myspace Player.

It's quite techno but descends into a dubstep-hybrid track!  I rather like it...

Well done to DJ EbonyFae for hosting the first Electric Dust club night at the Purple Turtle in Camden Town last night. Timing couldn't have been better, after catching up with a friend from waaaay back I walked into the Turtle just as "Never Been To Tokyo" was playing :D The rest of the night was filled with glow spinners, dark electronic and industrial, some both quirky and great choices from all over the spectrum. There was also a burlesque show (though personally it didn't look that burlesque to me) and Nitrocide played a wicked set. I caught up with him later on and with any luck we'll bump into each other at Glade next week for some muddy mayhem :)

Top night, congrats and I hope that it's the beginning of a nice, regular event :D

I've been working on a revamped version of a track that I originally made to start practicing with side chaining effects and compression - "The Chain" is the result. It's been on the trig.com player for a while but I've made quite a few improvements and I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out.

A preview of the track is now available on our Myspace player.
