It's the third Sunday of Advent and to celebrate this joyous occasion please sit back, relax and enjoy the easy listening sounds of my new Last Christmas mix:

-> Last Christmas (Large Hadron Collider Disaster 2009 Mix).mp3 <-

Lovingly recreated using my Waldorf Pulse and the MFB Synth Lite II that eggnchips kindly lent me.

I decided to approach this differently, here I'm ONLY working with sounds from the original track. No synthesis at all.

I used one of Hoffman2ks slicing presets found here:

. preset called "Create Digital Mayhem"

-the track is very cut up, distorted, and really really slow

Machinate - would you be so good as to host this one too? That would be grand, cheers!

OK. I abandoned my plans for a hardtechno remix - it just wasn't working, no matter how hard I tried - and went for something else entirely.

So here's my, err, I dunno, I guess "electro" remix (don't really like to pigeon-hole, but just so you get a vague idea of what's coming!)

http://www.mediafire.com/file/emu1dz2yn ... B1_rmx.mp3

Slightly annoyed listening back to it this morning (I finished it late last night after a few glasses of red wine) that it seems my robot pretty much missed out the word "next" from his vocal. Never mind.

Credits:
OB1 (me) - drums, arrangement, production, mastering
Finley (my 3yo son) - synth choices
Robot - vocal

Rave, can you stick this in the original post please?

^^ I like it - nice drums and good synth choices by the lad there. Good work!

Just spent the last 30 minutes catching up with the entries

Now I need to go and lie down for a bit.

"from the sublime to the ridiculous" as my dad used to say.

Someone (I'm not volunteering) should collect all the submissions together and turn it into a charity compilation CD.

I did that this morning when I uploaded my entry. It proper melts your brain, eh?

I've now had that melody stuck in my head for over a week - last night after I finished my remix was the worst. Just lay in bed with it going round and round.... Then compounded the whole situation by listening to all of those today. I need a holiday!

Ah, vielen dank Hr Chips! I really wanted to go back to it and tweak the mix, but, like most people on here, that tune is doing my head in. Cheers for the kind comments though!

Bump! Let's be having your tunes!
