Connected decks to computer again today to record a practice mix. Fairly known music as far as electronic goes. Tried to fit as many songs as i could into 1 hour which was quite difficult as far as mixing goes but i only ran into trouble once or twice.
It goes from minimal —> Light Electro –> Dirty —> Heavy/Grimey Electro—-> Commercial.
Up and coming DJ/Producer, Raffertie, is currently based in Birmingham. Rafferite holds a residency at London based night, Hold Tight, who in the last few months have had the likes of Dexplicit and Benga headline their nights.
Raffertie has remixed the likes of Faithless, Peaches, Chaka Kahn and Chris Brown amongst others. He has recorded several mixtapes in 2008, most notably for New York based record label No Love Lost Records (NLLR) which can be downloaded here:
Imreally into Raffertie’s wonky style with breakbeat and garage influences with heavy twisting basslines. His mixtape blends genres seemlessly drawing unique links between tracks most DJs wouldn’t dare to mix. There is a lot of potential for Raffertie who has not only shown himself to be a respectable DJ, but a confident producer with original ideas and a great unheard style.
Other tracks include Silence - Delerium, Ain’t Nobody - Chaka Kahn and Bass on the Bottom - The Lady Tigra. These are available to listen to and download off his Myspace:
No-one said it, but yeah it is for Chavs. But anyone who likes fidget house is going to love the basslines produced
through 4×4 Niche and Garage Beats. Most of these songs i got last summer before it became completely scally pending release of Heartbroken.
Radiohead have given all the stems for their song Nude in order for different producers to remix in a competition. For those who don’t know a stem is where you have several mp3s each with either Guitar Riff,bassline, a capella voices on which allows you to remix it with other sounds. Radiohead were charging for these stems i think but i managed to find a torrent with them on. I gave a quick go at remixing this song with a minimal track. Didnt put that much effort because song is tranquil and not much you can do with it.
