what up i released a new EP today:

here's the tracklisting:
1. The Dust Off
2. Believe In It (Eliot Lipp Remix)
3. Triple Chrome Dipped (Osborne Remix)
4. Triple Chrome Dipped (Star Eyes & Mayster Liquid Vision)
5. The Joy Of Your Dome

to produce track 1, I used mostly old trusty Mr. SP and Logic and various synths. There are some trombones in there run thru plug ins. I tried to use more of the SP's filters, which are something that I've never heard a computer come close to emulating. Also, if any of you use bitcrusher plug ins, just so you know, those don't touch the SP either. call me the bitter old man. c'mon i'm on twitter at least once a week leave me alone. i just think that investing in outboard gear (these days) shows a little bit of care and commitment to your craft. You got a crack of Reasons? cool , so does my 19 year old brother

to produce track 5, I used the Forat F-9000 and a Yamaha CS-80 synth. The Forat was on loan to me for a couple of months from a legendary dude from miami/gainesville called Adam. He bought it on ebay from ebay gear legend Rider. Somehow I became the shipping manager on the transaction. Once I was done making beats with it, I shipped it from NY to FL, and of course it got damaged.. the thing is the size of 2 mpcs and is mega heavy. (I got close up pics of it I just gotta find them) So the interesting thing about it is that you can pitch down your drums and it adds this myserious grit to them. Sort of unlike anything I've heard. More sheen than the SP, and also futuristically clunky.

The Yamaha CS-80 was a synth trade I did with Luke's roommate. (Temporary) synth trades are one of the funnest things to do, cause you can lend out your baby (in my case the Korg MS 20) and then you appreciate it more when you get it back, and possibly even use it more on new shit. (The CS-80 is also the most unportable synth.)
I'll try to get the remixers to say something for the blog... in the meantime, I know the Star Eyes mix is getting burn at all the big festivals. From Rothbury to Pitchfork Fest..
Oh, and the EP should be available here, at TTL, soon.
