[MIX] Mr Minimax – The Goodnight Mistress Vol.1

Here it is people, the project so secret that only a select few of you will ever have heard of it. After sitting on my hard drive for months on end, I have finally decided that it is time to unleash Vol.1 of the soon to be legendary mix series; The Goodnight Mistress. The wait may or may not have been due to poor internet connections stopping me for uploading, but that really is irrelevant at this stage of the game.

 

As indicated by the ‘Vol.1′ portion of the title, and quite possibly by line above where I refer to the ‘mix series’ this is only the beginning of The Goodnight Mistress. Volume 1 sets the scene nicely for what is to come. Hopefully the tracklisting will do a pretty good job of explaining what it’s about…

Mr Minimax
The Goodnight Mistress Vol.1

A mellow mix of ambient, downtempo and experimental music, electronic and organic.
Aids restful sleep and makes a perfect accompaniment for sitting back and watching the walls breath a little.

Lucid (formerly Baraka) “Cupid’s Psychedelic Love Juice” – 14.02.08 – The Coven II. Oxford

Blimey, that was quick.

Time flies when you’re having fun, or so they say.

In that case I must have been having an absolute whale of a time this past week.

It feels like about three days since I was sat on this here computer moaning to the internet about how intolerably exciting my Friday night was, my early night about to go tits up leaving me to face an evening drinking stout and sneering at my housemates choice of televisual entertainment. Goodness me aren’t I a happy character.

Turns out, it’s been seven whole English days.

Achievement levels have been at an all time high this week. The website that has been the bane of my life for the last few months is finally finished! (Although it won’t go live for a while, so don’t get too excited.) I can safely say that unless someone wants to pay me a wholesome sum of money to do so, I will not be undertaking a project of that nature again in the foreseeable future.

I have also put together a few new mixes. One is for the lovely chaps over at Olo Radio who are featuring me on their podcast, tying in nicely with a couple of remixes I’ve just completed for the rather wonderful OLO Worms. That mix features a nice mix of bits and bobs. Aphex, Fly-Lo, The Egg, Jamie Lidell all star alongside many others. Naturally I will be posting full spam when it finally becomes available.  The other mix, is a a purely personal affair, no podcasts, radio shows or sponsorships on this one, just some tunes that I felt like putting together in order. Lots of good old fashioned “proper electro” goodness. Again, full spammage to come in the near future.

Oh, I seem to have lost my flow. Dammed forums.

Another great achievement of the week, has been finally coming round to the music of The Chap.I bought their album ‘Mega Breakfast’ after having heard the track ‘They Have a Name’ on the excellent (and totally free) ‘Bleep Clash’  compilation from, surprisingly, Bleep.com.  For quite some time I really didn’t know what to make of it. The tunes are good, if a little eccentric, but the vocals sway from shouty indie, through the middle of the road, right up to mock opera silliness. The lyrical surrealism also proved a little rich for me, whether it’s intended to be ironic or simply off the wall, I wasn’t a fan. However, something inspired me to take another listen this week, and by Jove, it sounds fantastic! While spending several lines of text slating a band probably isn’t the best way  to convince you of their greatness, I think it’s important to set the scene. Everything I felt before still stands, but for some reason it works. They have elements of electronica, indie, show tunes, and lots and lots of good old fashioned pop in there, and once you embrace the quirk, it warms you up a treat.  Highly Recommended.

That seems to about cover it. I could waffle on and on about the details of my day to day happenings, but I fear that would be rather dull. If you do indeed want to find out more about my foolish mistake when choosing which towel to use in the shower, or the outright buffoonery of forgetting to drink my specially purchased sparkling elderflower drink with lunch, then I suggest you re-assess the situation promptly and get a grip.

And there we have it, another eventful Friday night, and I’m not very much mistaken I seem to be the last person left awake in my house.

Champion.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Now, as some of you may know, I moved house about three months ago. Left Oxford and re-located myself down to Bristol.

I’ve been without internet for a while (crivens!) and the connection I do have now, is pretty shoddy. So as a result of this, I’ve had to cancel my Brap.FM show, much to my dismay.

However, being the resourceful character that I am, I’ve managed to get a few guest slots on other shows.

The first, was a 2 hour mix on the Out Of The Void Show on Brap.FM, broadcast from Void HQ in Bristol, that one is available to download HERE. No tracklisting unfortunately, as I turned up to play with a bag full of vinyl, only to discover, Ollspin has no turntables… cue half an hour of scrabbling about Spollin’s CD collection trying to find bits and bobs I recognised. It starts off with a couple of random tracks, then gets into breaks for the rest. bits and bobs of tearout, electro, and some nice good old fashioned breakbeat.

The next radio appearance was for Ollspin’s Sunday Roast Show, I played an hour set in the middle of the show, spanning, dubstep, techno, breaks, drum and bass and a bit of breakcore for good measure. There IS a tracklisting for this one… Download here and check out lots more Spolliny goodness.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

In other news, I’ve done a mix for the latest Brap.FM Podcast, which should be available to download from the Brap site soon. It’s a 45 minute mix of hip hop, downtempo, chill out and electronica, from the likes of Bonobo, Boards of Canada, Flying Lotus, Jurassic 5 and Prefuse 73. Spammage coming soon.

I also have two other mixes coming… One of hard dirty techno, and one of acid electro and idm. Keep an eye on these pages for more news.

That’s about it for now, but there will be a lot more updates in the next few days, so stay tuned.

[Radio] MrMinimax on Brap.FM – 03.06.08 – Tracklisting and Archive

It’s Wednesday morning, which means I am shattered from my late night, and late for work because I’ve been twatting about at home uploading the archive.
The good news of course, is that anyone who didn’t catch the show last night can now download it and listen in their own time, and anyone who couldn’t understand me reading the names, or just wants to jog their memory can check the tracklisting in full.
Another good show, with the usual progression from breaks, through techno into darker territory, before coming down gently for the last hour with some hip hop, downtempo and chill out. No guest mix, artist showcase or exclusive tracks this time, just two hours of raw tuneage that’s been stuffing my crust over the last few weeks.

Enjoy…

Archive Fail…but some LIVE goodies to tide you over…

I need to apologise to all of you who tried to download the archive for Tuesdays show. somewhere along the upload process, something went a bit wrong, and the link hasn’t been working… however Moif is going to take a look at it, and with any luck, it should all be fixed by this evening and ready for downloading.

In the mean time, I would like to draw to your attention, the new project I have been working on over the last few weeks. Transferring my production into a live format. I’ve been slaving away on Ableton Live, trying to set up a way of performing my music live. I wont get into the techy side of things now, but it’s all turned out brilliantly, and I’ve got plans to take it as far as I possibly can.
I gigged the set out at Fresh Out The Box last Friday, which went down really well, but I didn’t manage to record it, so this morning I knocked up a slightly shorter version of a very similar set. There’s a few sketchy areas, but that’s the magic of live recording isn’t it. I’ve uploaded it, and I’m really looking for as much feedback as possible on it. As I’m so new to it, there’s bound to be areas where I could do with a bit of constructive criticism, and of course, anyone who wants to tell me what a good job I’ve done is more than welcome to….
In terms of tracklisting, it’s a bit vague, as the drums are interchanged throughout, and I guess the only distinguishing feature between the tracks is the basslines… It’s a pretty good mix of my styles, a bit less down the glitchy avenue that my EP featured, and a bit more dancefloor orientated, as that is where this project is best executed, in loud dirty clubs.

The Tracklisting looks a little something like this…

……………………..……………………..…………
The Nitrous Tune (samples used throughout)
–Savoute (Drums)
The Atheist
Got to You the Long Way Round
Arch 28.04
Remdog – Descent (Mr Minimax Remix) *Instrumental*
Chaplinston
Laying Cable
Savoute
–Got to You the Long Way Round (part)
……………………..……………………..…………

and you can download the set HERE – http://www.mediafire.com/?mjwiactf3im

[Radio] MrMinimax on Brap.fm | 20.05.08 – Tracklisting and Archive Download

Hello…..

If you didn’t manage to catch last night’s show, it’s now ready to download from the Brap Archives, along with all of the previous shows.
Quite a mixed bag as usual. Two hours, starting with a nice chunk of dancefloor material, moving swiftly into a range of dark, glitchy idm and breakcore before coming round to settle for the second hour, with some beautifully delicate acoustic bliss, eclectic prog rock from the Nottingham based Efflux, and some lush downtempo, including a brand new demo track from James Fox.

Maiden Voyage 08/04/2008

My first ever radio broadcast…

Needless to say, I am somewhat nervous.

Nothing planned as of yet, just 2 hours of quality tunes and technical faults.

Tune in, come into the chatroom, get involved…

Wish me luck….
