Title: Surpressed
Artist: Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Date: 2002

Comes from the honeymoon right when I got Reason for the first time and had an actual, classic synthesizer to work with. However, that honeymoon didn’t last…sure the hardware emulation was novel for a while, but the clunkiness of the patching vs how easy it was to go totally crazy with Buzz, it didn’t take too long for me to get completely over reason. Great software, just not for me.
This was also when Rik had started getting me interested in psy-trance, and I really started to love the hyper-electronic cutting sounds prevalent in the genre.
Out comes this little gem of some sample-and-hold synth filter tweakage.

Gotta give these short-but-not-forgotten tracks some love.
This one is pretty glitchy noise rhythms – wholly unrelated to japan.
It’s all Buzz again, going for that hi-fi sound for yer lo-fi earbuds.

Another high mark in my mind comes from this somewhat psychedelic trance excursion with Rikard. It’s all Buzz again, but Rik had really been kicking it up a notch lately with how clean and professional his buzz tracks were sounding. I remember this one going back and forth quite a few times in quite a short amount of time.

The companion track to ‘softex’ (which isn’t up yet). I made this one as a beat to have running while I synced the synth to it, sort of as an exercise in tweakdom. I don’t think a merged copy of the two got recorded, cause I ended up liking both on their own, actually.
Now to find the companion tracks…
Straight up buzz techno.

Title: Dopplerbeats (Knoggin’s Knife)
Artist: Ilya vs. Noggin
Album: As Yet Unknown
Date: 2002

Remix of my boy Ilya’s sound-design experiment “Doppler Beats”, which maybe I can encourage him to explain in detail in the comments?
He sent me this pretty awesome recording of some sounds, and I thought, these should be turned into a jam. I was also experimenting a lot with the ‘hardware’ sampler in Reason, so I used it as an excuse to get down and dirty like I hadna before. As such, buzz is pretty absent from this recording.

Title: The Forty-Forty Mix (Beretta Underground 001)
Artist: DJ Noggin
Album: The Forty-Forty Mix
Date: 2002

From conception to completion to concrete realisation on 02 February 2002. One of my Sugs down in the Beretta Basement commissioned me to make this as we were heading to a party of epic proportions later that evening in Austin. We needed jams, and I was obliged to dj in advance what turned out to be 300 or so people diving for seventy-two 40’s at midnight while the theme from 2001 blared (my props to the other djs for that).
It’s hip hop. It’s party ish. It’s got the Bia Bia remix that stands to this day as my favorite foray into drum n bass.

We All Come Off

Title: Flat Chronic
Artist: Noggin + Mr. Oizo + Dr. Dre
Album: We All Come Off
Date: 2002

In 2002, the bootleg / mashup craze was in full effect.
This is my contribution.
Originally created for a mix I was making for a Halloween / 80s party, this eventually got pretty much redone completely as I wanted to impart a bit of the glitch aesthetic into it, not to mention the fact that I think straight layered mashups are boring…got to have a little style in there or whats the point?
As such, this is very DJ friendly. Not what I’d call a floor-filler, but drop it once the floor is filled and things will start to get a little crazy.
Bonus points to the person who comments about the secret track hidden the middle of this one.

Title: Palladium
Artist: FM Man
Album: One Man To Freq Them All
Date: 2002

My homey Scott released a superb album once upon a moon ago under his FM Man alias. “One man to freq them all” (I’m proud of coming up with that title) was a pretty great sort of electro / techno / idm opus + glimpse into the early 2000’s Montreal electronic music scence that I’m about to go dig up and jam. I’m pretty sure he produced it mostly in Buzz…my remix definitely came 100% from Buzz, inspired by that sick melody line he worked out. I was getting my feet wet with the glitch aesthetic, and this is something that I was really proud of when it was done.
Yet another fruitful collaboration between Noggin and the unbounded creativity that is ScottyP.

Here’s one I can tell you very little about, as it comes from a very high-output phase of Buzz production. Whirlwind.
