Victor Xray - House Bound Shuffle
320 kbps MP3
I started this one with a little of the 3-3-2 latin rhythm. It continued in this vein. Then came some piano - I was only using the piano as a base sound to get some tonal ideas right for the moment, but with the latin rhythm it was sounding good, so I worked it and worked it some more. It sounds a little like a demented, sped up, house music, at a dubstep tempo (140 bpm) but that gives it great dance floor energy. Just make sure you wear a big bowl of plastic fruit on your head.

Ableton Live 8
A new version of Live from Ableton
Out soon. I'm excited! It has collaboration features and lots of other interesting stuff. Hope the whole Live+Suite upgrade isn't massively expensive though. http://www.ableton.com/nl195.
Genlevel versus Victor Xray - Dub Wrong Babylon (genlevel playful dub) REMIX
Genlevel Remix 320 kbps MP3
My friend Ben Askins, aka Genlevel, asked if he could do a remix of a Victor Xray track a few months ago. Me, being such a slack bastard at times, didn't get my shit together to send him the remix package until a couple of weeks ago. Not that it should have been very difficult as we both use Ableton Live 7.0 so everything we had was compatible save a plugin or two. Anyway my slackness all gone, Ben turned out a top track in record time and here we offer the result for download.
The original track is "Dub Wrong Babylon", and it is contained in the 2008 album/download bundle "Lamplighter", which can be downloaded from here.

Victor Xray - Water Saw
320 kbps MP3
Truth be told I've not been doing much music over the break. This is a rough mix of a track I did over new year's.
Please note: I've started to delete or rename the files for the old tracks because the server is getting slayed from various servers robo-leeching the mp3s. You can get a link to a zip of last year's best tracks with artwork from here.
