Discount Adult Zone - King Of The Goats

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 08:08:06 GMT

Discount Adult Zone is a new music project from Xray Dubs. It's a house/disco style project around the 120bpm tempo. The name comes from a certain shop Dennis and I spotted on the highway up to Toowoomba. Lookout for the track "Withcott Swingers" sometime soon.

I've got a bunch of Discount Adult Zone tracks in a half-prepared state, this is the latest one I made over Xmas/NY period - in fact I wrote it all today. It's called "King of the Goats", boomy and stompy and stroppy and priapic like an old billy goat. It just sort of seemed to write itself really.

Victor Xray - Fifty More Still

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 06:48:19 GMT

Dumbness and despair - desertion
The desertion of your friends from you
You from your friends
Everyone from everyone
Isolation and loneliness
Hating and suspecting each other
D is finally death
Slow death
Hey ... Well, that's it

University is off for the year, here's a new track for my first free weekend in 3 months: Fifty More Still - minimalist, bassy, spiky, desolate.

Victor Xray - Fucker [new drum mix]

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 11:41:22 GMT

What seems to be the problem?
Death.
Death? Well I'm afraid that's a little out of my jurisdiction.
I want more life, fucker.

New version of 'Fucker' - the track from last week - with bigger, nastier drums and some other mix tweaks. Old one removed.

Victor Xray - Into the Wastes of Time

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 12:16:54 GMT

This track is a more minimal-sounding apc-40 jam than the one I uploaded earlier today (Fucker). It has a nice space about it, I think. Will make a good live track.

Well that's the sample that drives the heart of this track. I've been a little quiet of late, my mid-semester break has not been as productive as I would have liked - I've got lots of bits and pieces of half-completed tracks but nothing fully developed yet. In the meantime I went to L.A. where I got the incredible Akai APC-40 Ableton controller for a fantastic price at Guitar Centre in Hollywood (much cheaper than possible in Australia). Anyway with this bit of kit I've been jamming away at those little segments and this track is the first result, with a great simple driving synth line. I've had a bunch of the Bladerunner samples lying around and wanting to do something with them for a little while. I figured the less, the better, and the result is "Fucker". The string synth figure is also based on the Vangelis soundtrack.

There's another track - a bit more of an APC-40 jam session than this one - I might also upload later tonight
