Kaizoku

Lots of time has passed since last show again. Lots of things happened during this period. Including the crash of my computer which put things off for some time. Even now I had technical problems which delayed the broadcast for an half an hour and made me go live with a bit unfinished set.  Sorry for the low volume on voiceover and some glitches in mixing. Going to be lot better next time! :D

Tracklist

  1. Ankst – The Wicked (Damnation Remix by Cyvergence)
  2. Kaizoku – Something In Blood
  3. S-Wrong – Everybody Pump
  4. Modlys – Det Nu (breakcore remix)
  5. Sodiufas – Shhhhhhhhhhhh(h)

Renoise 2.6 has gone to beta

Renoise 2.6 bannerThis show also celebrates the Renoise 2.6 going into beta. This time the tracker gets the long awaited scripting and extension capabilities. Lots of people are working on this right now, playing with the available tools and writing new ones. If you haven’t already, join the fun in Renoise forums.

Renoise also got a Long Sample Support (aka Autoseek) which makes it much easier to handle vocal takes, guitar riffs or any other kind of longer sound clips. The samples are still kept in the memory so one still can’t mix whole recording sessions, but this is not what renoise is meant for anyway.

As an interesting sidenote, Remixta is also broadcast and recorded using Renoise 2.6, it is used in the chain as effect processor and for mixing voiceover and the music. The bit unfortunate configuration this time was not the fault of Renoise (which performed perfectly) but my own misconfiguration due to limited time before going live.

Saine

Soundcloud

Soundcloud has grown to be the most important music distribution place for Renoise users. Many artists in this show have lots of great stuff up in the SoundCloud.

Saine for example, who Released one of the greatest Renoise albums “Break a Pattern” some time ago, has soundcloud page which has gained several new sets in last months.

From the set Elevator Music I played the track “Rocket Science”. The set has lots of nice downtempo dub-technoish music to Chill To. And yeah. It’s all free. ;)

He also has just recently compiled another set Still Life which has more ambient, soundscape music.

Sodiufas has also a nice collection of tracks available on Soundcloud. This is where I acquired one of his latest tracks, Shhhhhhh. Although most of us now Sodiufas by his great ambient melodic soundscapes, this time he surprises us with more industrial and much more rougher sounding creation. Some people find this track bit irritable and disturbing, I find it pleasantly hairy and exciting. The dynamics and soundscapes could even be compared to the ones created by the grand master mr_mark_dollin on his Smargaid Maerd albums.

Talking about mr_mark_dollin, he has recently made his  albums available on Bandcamp for purchase. I wanted to play some of his tracks too on that occasion, but lost all of them due to hardware crash, and didn’t feel like purchasing them again. Which doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do that. ;)

This is the first Remixta podcast, bringing you the latest tracks I have collected from Renoise community. The tracks are selected by my taste alone not based on their technical quality or the popularity on boards or anywhere else.

This time the podcast is mostly concentrated on groovy and melodic dance music influenced by music from 70′s to 90′s but there also more modern sounding tracks, so I hope it’s pleasurable listen to everyone.

This is the first time I am doing a podcast and first time I am commenting on the radio show in english language so bear with me on the accent and bit clumsy speaking. There is room to improve and it shall be better next time. :)

If you have any new great stuff coming out please get in touch with me so we can showcase it on the next episode. Also send me a link to your new tracks if you have any if I like them I just might to play them on the next podcast!

Still reading? Huh? Start listening now. Subscribe to the podcast and don’t forget to let me know later how much you enjoyed the music. :)

Playlist

  1. Hooligan – Frozen
  2. Tenda – Confrontation
  3. Beatslaughter – Siedepunkt
  4. Void Pointer feat. Jæde – Stuffed Animals

I used Mr. Mark Dollin track titled Happy Pain on the rant between the tracks. I didn’t have intentions to play any music by Mr. Mark Dollin this time, but I had this track handy for backing ambience. Don’t worry though, I will probably play something by him next time! :)

Showcase

This months podcast is showcasing a great new album Planet Boogie by one of the best Renoise artists D Fast. 80′s style funk/disco featuring technical grooves, big variety of instrumentation and excellent mastering.

This is something you will definitely enjoy if you like to shake your booty to the groove now and then. The track we are playing Do You Want To Dance With Me asks you a question… So do you want to take a little dance with music by D Fast? Ofcourse you do! Don’t hesitate to spend a buck and order the album now!
