OK, so what do you play when you get the 3pm opening set of a fine summer's day old skool party? It's 33 degrees and you know you're going to be playing to the bar staff, a few loyal followers and those in search of a refreshing ale or 7.Well... if you're me, you'll spend a few weeks culling thousands of tracks down to a few dozen appropriate tunes, cut them up into loops and phrases and assemble them into ableton in a way that lends itself to improvisation.Then you hit record and hope it sounds good.So here it is, a 115 bpm summer flavoured breakbeaty jam - very light on the acid (I don't think there's any actually), quite varied in it's choice of tracks and every track cut up, re-edited, looped and whatever else... not too many crazy effects though. For the most part it came out better than I expected - there were a couple of points when it lost sync during the New Order jam, but I've cleaned that up... everything else was pretty much done live in one take.Enjoy it kids - I had fun making it.;)
