BREAK IT / FIX IT
Since releasing 2 Eyes 2 Ears back in 2011 I've been working on new material as well as developing my taste and style and refining my sense of what a remix "ought" to do. I've now taken all the best parts of my new material and put it together into a second mashup album called BREAK IT / FIX IT.
I wanted it to have that feel of very nearly falling apart but working all the same. So it will get experimental and glitchy but I'll still be there, holding the reigns. It's not an out of control ride - just a wild one.
You can download the album through the player or by clicking here.

In my earlier work I stayed away from Daft Punk - and some other bands I really liked - because I felt that any track that sampled them would be good simply because they sampled them. I didn't feel like my mashup skills would "add" enough to it, like I'd be relying on the quality of the original material and mooching on the creations of others, which definitely isn't what a mashup should do.
So when I started feeling more confident in my abilities and finding some good matches I may have gone a little overboard. There's a lot of Daft Punk in this album is what I'm trying to tell you.

Robots Biting Dust
On March 6th I will release an album called BREAK IT / FIX IT. It's a combination of all the best remixes I've made since my last mashup album, 2 Eyes 2 Ears. I'm doing the final tweaks right now and I'm pretty happy with it. Today I'm releasing this track as a taste of what's to come. It's a rough draft version of one of the tracks on the album.

Fanfiction
Uuuuh so I recorded this almost two years ago (at the same time as this song) but I never posted it. I wrote it like five years ago but I don't think anyone's ever heard it so here's a new song I guess?
This seems like a good place to inform you that like most my songs this one is written out of the perspective of a character that I made up in my head. In other words - I have never actually written reality-based self-insertion wish-fulfilment fanfiction. Never outside my head at any rate.

PLAYLISP Live Mashups (121027)
Here are some bits from a gig I played in late 2012. In this video I'm trying out a lot of the new material that I've since worked and re-worked into a new album, which will be out soon. It will be called BREAK IT / FIX IT and it will be the best mashup album you've ever heard in your life. I've also re-designed www.playlisp.com, so check out the new site. It's not a very final design but I wasn't happy with the one I had so it's been replaced with something more streamlined.
