Artist: Fade
Album: Fade EP
Date: 2000

Remix of one of the first collaborations I recorded with a vocalist. One night in Brogdon I just put the headphones on and Buzz’d away on these recordings into the morning hours. Actually, I’m pretty sure that turned into a few nights. Once I got the basic structure down, I really wanted to tweak and refine it.
The original will be coming shortly, featuring Robsi on vocals. We really had a promising thing going with this band, and I hope you enjoy the more brit-pop side of tracker techno.

Honestly don’t remember much about this song production with a few exceptions:
1) it was originally a completely different song – sort of a remix you could say
2) i had my headphones on, moved some sliders, arranged some patterns, hit play, and then just kind of zoned out for damn near an hour because this song seemed to materialise itself, vs being ‘written’.
This is the sound of Jeskola Buzz.

Request Thursday in full effect (if you’ve never made a request before GET AT ME! You don’t have to know what you want, just give me an idea let’s freestyle together!).
When I moved to San Marcos in 2000 I left a radio show I had been doing for 2 or 3 years to my cohost DJ Fro and his new cohost Big Dookie (no that’s not what he called himself then but it is what we call him now). Wanting to play live again, and also visit the show I had so lovingly nurtured, we set up this in studio performance one Wednesday night during thanksgiving or christmas or something while were all back in town.
In the studio we had Fro, Dred, PolyPatrick, JoMoNo, Big Dookie, myself, and I know Mike was there finishing up most of the time. We had a great time just trying to get the sampler all hooked into the board and also synced with my backing cd of hihats…don’t hate yall I was working with very limited technology and 16 total samples was just not enough to play this track so I had to put them on a cd and then play drums, keys, strings, and samples over that. So yea, this is for the most part live. Yes there is a blatant Underworld sample I figured I’d do something I couldn’t legally do on record live.
Huge thanks to Fro for engineering this whole thing, and it’s funny because this definitely is an early instance of almost every conversation I have with a sound guy these days.

REEEEEEEEEEEQQQQUUUUUEEEEEEESSSSSSSSTTTTT.
This is a remix of Kaleem that I did solely to use live bongo drumming in a track. Slightly buzz altered of course. God, what a pain using large audio in files in Buzz used to be!
This one forgoes the huge brass and synths for a more intricate kalimba line + actual live instrumentation.

Saturday track. Get your party on.
Before I say anything else about this track, let me say THANK YOU!!! to all of you who are following or at least checking this project. The response has been overwhelming, positive, and very surprising! This project is for yall and I’m just happy to know I’m making people get all touchy feely with themselves (ok maybe I just hope that).
This track is in honor of a great inside joke we had today while sorting 1000’s of dusty old moldy ass records up at the radio station. We came in with high-hopes of categorisation, but then realised pretty quickly to throw those out the window as Eric Clapton got sorted into the very fledgling Blues category.
Here’s an Eric Clapton remix done in Buzz. This one was for the sorority girls. Ok and the frat boys. But don’t even hate, yall all will jam it.

Thursdays are request day. And if you make a bunch of requests, you get the pleasure of waiting to see them roll out a week at a time.
I remember making this one to sound a bit tracker-y and funky on purpose, amidst a slew of trying to make things sound generic and polished. I was also still totally riding the high of some synth heavy stuff I had been jamming the year before. This was all about the FATness of synth programming and also using horns which is something I never do.
This one goes out to Ilya.

Saturday track.
This track was made to be disco. Just testing out sampling and flipping said samples into french-house-disco orgydom. I showed a brief demo of this to an Italian on soulseek, and they singlehandedly inspired me to finish it… “It’s like the music I always dream of!”.
Written in 2000 in my dormroom, and reworked later to appear on Tiki Island mix.
Thanks, Tez.
Dedicated to KEOS then and now.

This is a very short remix of a very long track I produced in late high school. This particular version was made just as an attempt to cram as much acid as possible into an intro track for an acid compilation I was burning.
Sample from the Chemical Brothers.
Produced in ReBirth.
