I have just completed a new classical track Angels On Our Shoulders, and its specifically been created for free download as a one off for the web site, I do not have plans to release this on a project (as of yet). If you enjoy smooth relaxing piano soundtracks, this is for you.
This track can be streamed in full at my Myspace page, and also Last FM.
I am currently working on 2 more tracks to complete the set for my Creative Minds project. These are aimed towards the 80's Chicago House / Uplifting vocals style.
20th anniversaries are on the way with all things "second summer of love" and due to the massive impact on most people at the time including myself, I have decided to go back under my original name "Creative Minds" for an on going digital project fresh for 2008.
The first 2 track release is strictly for the originators including 'Freak 2000' a pure acid track, complete with original bpm's and plenty of squelch. Track 2 'Ess-O1ne' (pronounced 'Ess One') is a dedication the the early UK bleeps movement.
Further information, audio clips and order link can be found in the music section of this site.
In addition keep you eye on the Creative Mindsmyspace page, which will be fully updated with tracks and further links relevant to the scene.
This project is on-going with more house & early rave/breaks to follow, all updates will be posted here in the news section and on the myspace page.
Just a small update to thank people for feedback and votes on the Radiohead remix which can be listened to at my Myspace page, mp3.com and also Last FM.
I've also recently added some un-released tracks to my Myspace page. These can also be streamed at better quality in the "un released material" section at Last FM.
1.Find Your Feet is a funk/rock based tune. 2.Dig & Play - is a cut & paste Hip-Hop track that's to be released on DJ Para's own mix CD. This is yet to be released, more details will be added here with updates and links.
Currently I'm working on some projects outside of my own music which is the focus for now. Updates will be a little scarce for a while as a result.
Just to finish off, it was hard for me not to include a link to these tracks, which were, and still are a firm favorites of mine from back in the good times of 90-96 - great times!
As you may or may not be aware, Radiohead have allowed a remix for the track "Nude" off of their latest album - In Rainbows.
Click the play button on the above widget/player and check out my own "Soundtrack Mix" of the track. Click the vote button in the player if you want to vote for it, the competition itself ends on May 1st so its not long away until the end.
Any problems with playback you can also stream it direct on the main page HERE.
I've now added a remix & collaboration section to the site which is a place for any links to clips, artwork and descriptions for completed projects of that nature.
So far 2 new tracks have been added: Relent -This Era - Remix and a collaboration track with artist and songwriter Jools called - Song For Bo. Both are available for FREE download. For more details check out the page right HERE.
I've also just finished helping the band Beatbullyz with mastering of there new album, and live set audio. Plus mixing down the track "Keys To Life" ready for broadcast when they feature on Channel 4's Hollyoaks in the next few months. More info and album details can be found at Beatbullyz site HERE.
I'm now in the process of making a new E.P which will be for digital download at my 7digital page, the style is Broken Beat / Jazz Fusion. Its now time to bunker down and get to it, more updates on the E.P will be added here soon.
Various:Works - Volume Oneis only available for streaming clips and selected track downloads from my MP3.com site as of today. It is being transferred to 7digital site ready for purchase download only, this will be fully setup in the next few days.
A big thanks to those who had a chance to sample the album, and for all the great feedback and various forum comments, its all appreciated.
7Digital will now be used for future E.P projects as digital download material for purchase from my site, and of course a few freebies thrown in here and there.
I have some more updates to come in the next week, including remix and collaboration tracks plus video footage, more to be added in the coming week including a slight overhaul of the site for better navigation.
Rapidshare has been down for a few days but all is now back up and running, and all files are available again on this site for the album download and mixes.
After reaching my bandwidth limit all direct download files from this site / Rapidshare require a code to grab the file(s). It's a simple process of selecting "free" from the Rapidshare page, wait for the code to be displayed, then enter the code into the box and then click to receive the file to download.
As a result the Podcast has been suspended, although all the mixes can still be viewed and downloaded in the same way from the "download mixes" option from the the music & audio menu.
My Rapidshare account for hosting files for the Podcast and album material is playing up currently. Direct downloads have resorted to entering a code to access the file(s).
Simply select "Free" and wait until your given the code to enter and then you will have the file. Most effected will be downloads via Podcast through Itunes etc for the moment.
Now the festive season has been and gone i'm starting work on another personal project namely "Journey". I've decided to clear out the standard format with music creation on a track-by-track basis and go for a free form open ended approach.
Taking influences from cut & paste type mixes the end result will be a free flowing blend
of all manner of musical styles (no particular boundaries) in one complete collage of sound. Being sick of pigeon holes, standards and formats I just want to take everything I can throw at it and keep standards to a minimum. This will be a little more dance floor based compared to Various:Works - Volume One it will be very interesting to see where it leads as things progress.
More updates will be posted here regarding this project with audio clips, plus more Pod Cast audio to be upped fairly soon.
An employers section has now been added to the menu section. This area includes examples of commercial and private work I have been involved with. All show full details and descriptions in areas of audio for various media, web & logo design and more.
I would like to thank those who have downloaded the album so far, its been positive feedback and its all appreciated. There is plenty more plugging of the album to be done with more reviews to come, and for those browsing it is still FREE to download for the foreseeable future, so grab it now.
The podcast has also been updated with an old but rare HipHop cut & paste mix from D.S called 'Anti Social Behavior'. It was originally created for a mixtape but ive included it in the Podcast as it was never officially put out.
There are now 3 mixes to download from the Podcast all are of different genres, there are more to come ranging from House to Jazz Dance & Classical, all updates will be posted here in the news section.
