In America!

Collaboratin Time!



Me and a friend (Below) have collaborated to create a Song! Well when I say we collaborated, He created the vocals and I created the music. It's not the best i've ever composed, but Its all in the name of fun and randomness!



The track's idea is based around Daniel's phrase "In America!" Which, for the life of me, I can't remember where he got it from. Oh Well...Its still pretty funky. Below Is A picture of The Lyricist and Vocalist, Daniel Talbot.

In case anyone has noticed, Im obviously not very good at blogging. Sorry.

One Wrong Artwork

First of all, apologies for all the "One Wrong Turn" titles lately, Trying too hard to make puns...



Anyway, The main reason I'm posting is because of my recently finished artwork for the "One Wrong Turn" Single.







Anyone else like this? I think, personally, it is Genius!

The Shadow Group

Finally! After much discussion and muddling up stuff, me and a few members of The Daft Club have finally sorted out this new DJ Group. And we've even (more or less) finished our first mix!



Well, when I say we, I Mean Three People: Me, Gavin, and DJ Waybig. You know who you are. Anyway, the track we've remixed is actually one of my own, "Automatic", Though it's a bit late to put it on the single / ep I'm afraid...



So waybig (aka Smashtwisted)created the initial samples (The Intro) while I shamelessly took on the duty of completing the entire track. With luck, He will take the track back and add more to it, or gavin will be able to have a go at editing it.



This is what it sounds like so far: Automatic (The Shadow Group Remix)

More Wrong Turns

I Think I shall need a few remixes for my "One Wrong Turn" single...





So, in this case, Ive asked three people to have a stab at remixing it (Joe Mitchell, Daft Rebel & Hani), and by now they should have the sample pack, which is downloadable here if anyone's interested in having a go themselves...





With Luck, I want to have this single finished by about the 4th May, So that I can press on and finish "Darkness".





Check back soon.

Automatic

Good News! Ive finalised the First Single from Darkness, "Automatic".





I'll be putting today's date (15th April 2009) as the Official release date for both the Single release and the EP release. Basically, this is how each one pans out:



The Automatic Single:




01 Automatic


02 Manual


03 The Framptons Remix



The Automatic EP:



01 Automatic


02 The Framptons Remix (Edit)


03 Advanced Remix


04 DJ Waybig Remix


05 Boba Fettuccini AutoMix


06 Night Shade Edit



The Single is the main version, with the B-side (Manual) and the full "The Framptons" Remix (9:23). The EP is a collection of remixes, Including a shorter 4 minute version of "The Framptons Remix", My own "Advanced" remix and three remixes / edits from members of The Daft Club.



In any case, Download and ejoy! Commments are appreciated :P

One Wrong Turn, Renumbered

For the last few weeks, I have been arguing with myself over making another single for "Land's End". Well, for now i've come up with an idea.



Out of boredom, I decided to go over the original track, "One Wrong Turn", and came up with this Renumber:

and for those who have not heard the original:

http://www.mediafire.com/?udmyi03gzmi



There is a pretty substantial difference, like more percussion and slightly different organisation of the synths, but overall its mainly a funkier version of the original. So on that note, Ill most likely continue working on a OWT single, possibly adding one or two b-sides.Oh and I must add that I used a computer generated vocal sample for both tracks, loyalty free :)



I kind of work haphazardly, it seems, as im still sorting out a single from my last album when Im still working on my new album. I better keep on top of things...



Over and out.

An Introduction?

Welcome to the Dark DJ Blog.

My real name is Tom, but most people online know me as Dark DJ, Though most peoples call me "Dark" or "DDJ". The majority of this blog will be based around my current Dark DJ music projects, Including My Currently In Production Album, "Darkness", and My Mix Project, "Oblivion 2009".

I'm not going to fill this intro with loads of back story, so that, Ladies and Gentlemen of the online world, is more or less all you need to know right now.

Enjoy the blog.
