New Sharp Dub - Telafonica remix (mp3)
Victor Xray VS Telafonica
This track is an excellent mix Telaphonica of New Sharp Blues. I've now got to work out where this goes in my release schedule, but for now, enjoy the free MP3.

Retarded Mouse - Everybody Take Drugs (mp3)
Not an actual Victor Xray track
Here's a track, I just *found* it lying around here, I swear honest to god, it's not really my work at all, I have no idea how it came to be on my hard disk officer. It's by some obviously fucked-up artist called "Retarded Mouse" and the song is "Everybody Take Drugs".
Apparently the lyrics go something like this;
Everybody take drugs,
Lots more drugs.
Everyone take drugs,
Take more drugs.
Everyone take drugs,
Take more drugs.
Acid, horse, Blow, of course.
Acid, horse, Ecstasy, of course.
Acid, horse, Blow, of course.
Acid, horse, Ecstasy, of course.
Well, you get the picture. It's a very bouncy 112 bpm 303 driven track with a samba 3-3-2 rhythm. On drugs.

The Richter Scale (mp3)
Victor Xray mp3
So, I bought this really cool plugin, Phoscyon, from the Polish software company D16. It's a very nice TB-303 emulator. That meant that the past couple of weeks I've spent making a lot of sub-acid that I won't be allowing anywhere near the public, although there is one track in there that's worth it - an acid bassline latin-feel track. But moving on to tonight's offering ...
Having this new plugin meant I spent the weekend trying to figure out how to incorporate the highly distinctive sound of the synth into my more regular sound -- and this track, which also has vocals (of a sort) is the result of my weekend's work. I had the basic groove yesterday but it took today to sort out the synth and vocal treatments. It's got a quite a laid back feel - 160bpm half-tempo (so that's 80bpm then) slow style beat with a nice big throbbing sub-bass. About two thirds the way through I pull out the old switch-the-kick-and-snare trick which changes the whole feel of the beat in an interesting way. Click the link and spot the 303 plugin. ;-)
