Elsewhere

New dFp track (well, sort of, I made it last year) - Elsewhere, available now on Soundcloud

https://soundcloud.com/dirty-fire-project/elsewhere

October and everything after

One of the annoying things about writing music by yourself is that sometimes, you miss a mark so widely that what you make isn't fit for purpose. Sadly this is what happened with the Subspec release I was working on in October and a remix I was doing in November.

For the Subspec thing, it just wasn't sitting with the other tracks, and frankly I had to go and look up what "groove-driven DJ-friendly Techno" actually meant before conceding the point.

As for the remix, personally I thought it rocked but was let down by the quality of the vocal stems provided by SPC:ECO. No feedback was received about what I submitted and when I finally heard the full, original track, I realised I didn't actually like the arrangement.

Such is life.

Well, on to better things. I need to be fighting slightly less space battles and pick up the music thing again since I have dragged my studio stuff down to my new place finally.

Meantime I will put the Subspec track up on soundcloud (I'm hungover, I might have done this already) and re-task the remix stuff as I was careful to only use the vocal stems, nothing else. Heh, I suppose I could cover it with another female vocalist. Apply within :)

Dirty Fire Project track "Aurora Null" appearing on Subspec's debut compilation



From their site subspec.com:

"Subspec will be a digital music label focusing on DJ-oriented, beat-driven electronic music... in a nutshell we intend to focus on Techno, Breaks, and Electro and various subgenres of each.[snip]Subspec is a new label collaboration between Rob Galbraith (Component Records) and Josh Garrett (Xynthetic Music / Netlabel)."

I am proud to announce that a new Dirty Fire Project track called "Aurora Null" has been selected to be part of Subspec's debut compilation.
You can hear the label demo at their soundcloud on http://soundcloud.com/subspec-music/sets/label-demo/. Due to a slight mix up, this currently includes a draft version of another new Dirty Fire Project track called "After The Fire". This still needs some work on it but I hope you like how it's sounding so far :)

Edit: Their label demo soundcloud no longer exists. You can find Aurora Null on dFp's Soundcloud.

Dirty Fire Project tracks on SoundCloud.com

Well that all took far too long. dFp is back, sorry about the gap in service!

Sad to see Xynthetic.com cease functioning, but positive about a new label... more news soon.

Meantime, previous Dirty Fire Project tracks can be found at http://www.soundcloud.com/dirty-fire-project. Tracks from both EPs can be found there plus a remix or two... This is all for A) simple access and B) there will be new stuff soon! Already got one rendered draft sorted and there will be more. MORE I SAY.
