Prior to, during, and after the Data Airlines Festival in Marseilles, I was considering releasing some music for free. It's something I've done before, but I think it'd be great to contribute something to a scene that was so welcoming to me, so specifically, this is for the chip musicians and lofi electronica people everywhere.

The whole thing was recorded in my tiny room on a horrible old laptop that turns itself off approximately once every hour, and was mixed on my awful headphones. How's that for upsell? Therefore I'm classing it as "lofi microtrance".

I think that there aren't enough tunes in dance music, and there's too little space for interesting, weird stuff that doesn't have a professional sheen to the mix. Engineering is always the barrier to the mainstream of dance music in any genre - I think that it often prevents people from getting interesting music out there (it certainly has for me).

At the moment, I'm really concentrating my musical efforts on improving my mixing abilities so that I can create stuff which really stands up in a club of its own accord. Working with K-Complex and listening to a load of other music, buying proper monitors and putting a huge amount of effort in to raise the bar has been paying off. I'm now making demos I'm proud of, and hoping to get a release I've mixed myself out on a decent label at some point this year.

Now, that shouldn't be a barrier to me releasing other interesting stuff that I happen to create, so I hope you can enjoy this mix in the spirit it was intended! Do drop me an email if you like it, or if you'd like to feature it on your netlabel.

Oh, and I think it should have some artwork! If you're a pixel artist or similar, and you're interested in contributing, then let me know.
