Album: Live From Tiki Island
Date: 2003

Filling a request here with some more full mixes (expect more).
This one comes as a birthday present / documentation / <3 letter from the summer of 2003. The inspiration from that summer had kicked in to full blown detonative status and so this grew out of a need to explode. It's also the last mix I did in the cut n' paste style via CD Architect. The title is (incorrectly) a reference to a trip to the Gulf Coast that I was trying to commemorate. The 'Live' thing is also totally a joke, as this is calm, contemplated, coolness. Includes hits from, but not limited to: Radiohead Daft Punk Phoenix Bit Meddler Bran Van 3000 etc, etc... Download: Noggin – Live from Tiki Island (full mix) (right click and choose ‘save as’)

Muse – Unintended (Noggin’s Wavecutter mix)

Title: Unintended (Nog’s Wavecutter mix)
Artist: Muse / Noggin
Album: Live from Tiki Island
Date: 2003

Remix of a (at-the-time) newly discovered Muse song. I learned about Muse in Noordwijk, and really got into them. They must have been pretty big in Europe at the time, because with nobody having heard of them over here, I was kind of slammed in the face with them over there. One night, I met a nice Irish couple, and the guy kept playing this guitar riff. He told me it was Muse.
Later on that summer, I was making a mix with a few people in mind, and this served as a nice sweet moment on an otherwise jamming cd. Drums are from DJ Shadow’s second album.
More details on the mix when I post the whole thing.

Artist: Noggin
Album: Live from Tiki Island
Release Date: 2000

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.

Live From Tiki Island Spaceship EP

Noggin – Collpasing Vortex

Part 1

Title: Collapsing Vortex
Artist: Noggin
Album: Where is our spaceship, and how did we get on this planet?
Release Date: 2001

This was the track I wrapped up 2001’s Spaceship EP with. I came up with this concept album while mindlessly stuffing envelopes at work (I think I totaled 10,000+ when I left), and when I got back to the room that evening – and for the next week or so – I worked relentlessly on getting this EP put together.
I will explain the concept of the album in the posts to come.
Vocals by Koral North aka DJ Fro, but you wouldn’t know it and I doubt he even does.
This also appears as the last track to the mix album, ‘Live From Tiki Island’.
