Title: Clockwatcher
Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Release Date: 2001

Title comes from the fact that this song is set at 120 bpm. That is until you realise that one of the flaws in Old Buzz was the fact that the tempo was just straight up OFF. So this is 120 plus or minus a couple percent.
This one is in honor of the radio station I listen to while I’m coding, deepmix.ru. Amazing deep and minimal house.

Hot off the press! Check the timestamp!
I mean, I am bouncing the track down right now. This thing needs serious editing, there are parts where I have to just stop for a second and gather my thoughts to figure out where the hell everything is…this track is, in it’s entire life span from vinyl->mixdown, maybe 3 hours old.
This is some jam I wanted to do tonight to get that Saturday vibe going, and get some more work in with the EPS. Some vinyl sampling from the Classic Funky Music records, some 909, some 3630, and a dash of incroyable…here’s my french jam in respects to the ‘french comedian’ that guy from good burger does on SNL…he is a lot funnier now ZUT ALORS!!!!

Title: Rainfall
Artist: Noggin
Album: Phase
Release Date: 1999

This whole album has to make it up here eventually.
Epic dream house from the days when Robert Miles ruled the radio and the clubs. In my more wiser hindsight, I imagine this track sounds much better screwed. Hmmm maybe I can get two posts out of this…

Release Date: 2000

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.

Mellow house track written / recorded / mixed in the middle of the night for a school project. Not mastered in any sense so you will have to turn it up. It gives you better bass that way.

Title: Buying Records, Buying Stocks (pt. 1 – The Mortgage Crisis)
Artist: Noggin
Album: Sober October Demos
Release Date: 2010

I recorded this song entirely on the premise of writing some music for my homey DJ CockBlock on his birthday. I then sat on this for a month as I thought ‘oooh I’ll make a video too’. Birthday came and went, this continued to sleep, and I finally put it out there on Xmas.
All drum samples are from the poor man’s 808, the TR-606….a really great sounding drum box. Also includes some samples off of my first ever guitar (thanks Chuck) that I recently attached a piezo pickup to. It’s finnicky, but it’s where I come from and I am loving it.
The title isn’t meant to be a political statement or anything…it was inspired from homeboy’s own now-defunct blog. I thought the tag line sounded great, and then I just used it to inspire regurgitation of buzz-words from the last year or so. Hell, let’s make THAT my political statement…regurgitation and buzz words.
This track produced entirely in an MPC 2000XL, and recorded to 4-track reel. It’s funny to think about that, because the MPC is basically the one instrument that will pull me away from Buzz, and Buzz is the one instrument that will pull me away from the MPC. Still, they are basically completely incompatible as I use them…while Buzz might now have midi, it was not always the case, so I would resort to bouncing down sounds and then importing into MPC…this is not fun and I rarely do it.
There is a part 2, do you want it? It might appear in full length form on my forthcoming album.
