Some British Railway Series Fun
Out of pure boredom, I decided to pay a little tribute to one of my favourite YouTube directors, Simierski, and his genious railway programme "The British Railway Series".
I Present my favourite engine / Character, "Allen", the A1 Pacific, From a repaint on fireworks of No 60163 "Tornado" from Microsoft Train Simulator! (All copyright thingys to their respected owners)

Keep making your brilliant series, Simierski! looking forward to future episodes!

My Next Project: "Oblivion"
For those of you who actually follow anything I say, you may remember that a while back I mentioned "Oblivion", but never gave a satisfactory explaination for it.
Well, It's pretty much going to be my next Album, but, instead of new material, Im gonna pull off something inspired by Daft Punk's "Alive 2007" tour. As in, a "Live Remix Album".
Basically, I'll be making two different sets. One will be the "Album Live Set", as in the one I will physically release, Pre-Mixed. The other will be the "Blank Live Set", with no mixing / filtering done to it, which I could use if I ever play my music live anywhere. For those of you who remember my terrible "Live Mixes" of 2008, this is gonna be nothing like it!
I'll be utilising my most recent material for this, Including tracks from "Land's End" and "Darkness". I will also be using some older material, from my 2007/2008 albums and eps, as well as some music I composed that did'nt make it onto any of my official "Releases".
When I first started to come up with the idea of a mix, I created a piece of music that would have been perfect as an opener. That composition evolved into this:
Dark DJ - "The Theme Park", Track 09 from "Dark Chronicles", 2008.
Which itself is on my "Dark Chronicles" Odd-ends album. I can still potentially use this as the opener with some tweaks, unless I can think of something a little more unusual.
I'll probably post something in the near future as an example of what I'm going to try and achieve, so check back often!
And as I'm feeling a little generous, here is a track that did'nt make it to "Darkness", But may be utilised for "Oblivion":
Dark DJ - "Numbers", Unreleased Track
Sorry for the long post, but please Check back soon for updates!
Cheers,
Dark.

Rex Rez Promo Single Out Now
The Final FINAL Promotional Single for Darkness is done, with a week to spare!
I Always liked "Rex Rez", since I made it way back in January, but, at 2:51 in length, I never thought that I would bother making a single for it.
Well, Recently I made a new track called "Mad Max", and I was going to make an EP with that track and a few others i've been working on, but then I thought "oh, that name is simmilar to Rex Rez...what about making it a b-side Instead?". Encouraged by my girlfriend, I went ahead with that Idea.
The track itself is a slight departure from my signature Dark DJ House style, with a slightly crazier edge to it, and alot more filtering than I have ever done before! I'm hoping this track becomes popular, because I really have been trying to make this album and it's singles differen from my older stuff :).
Without Further Ado, here is the download link:
Dark DJ Presents: "Rex Rez".
And the tracklist:
01 Rex Rez
02 Rex Rezzed
03 Mad Max
Enjoy, and if you like, please comment!
Cheers,
Dark.
CRYDAMOURE!
Well, I did'nt get chosen to be the new Ilictronix Blog staff writer...But oh well, Probably would'nt be any good at it anyways...Congrats to NiteShade though, for becoming the new writer, looking forward to your posts!
Although I'm a little disappointed, I probably would'nt do a better job, But saying that, I am probably going to do my own review-esque things here...
Ahem, Anyway, On to the funkier news, Guess what finally came in the post yesterday?
CRYDAMOURE'S "WAVES"!
I've been waiting for that for ages now :] And it's Legendary. Although the entire CD is just essentially short versions of the tracks, it keeps the whole album fresh by giving small chunks of action rather than having only 12 tracks of 6 minutes in lenght, which could get rather boring I recon...
Now I finally have both compilations, on top of all the crydamoure releases digital, So i'm a happy chappy!

2 Weeks To Go!
...Until the release of "Darkness"!!!
In other news, I finished My a-levels! Which means i've got all summer to do nothing!
Hopefully that means I can do some more writing on here, Or Ilictronix Blog, If Prez accepts my Entry. PLEASE DO! But other than that, that means more time making music, driving about pointlessly and seeing the missus, of course!
Oh, and before I forget, I might as well quickly announce that I'm working on a new EP, and that I'm thinking of releasing some new music under a different name soon...
But, for now, Toodles, Chaps!

Shapeshifter Single Release
Dark DJ Presents: "Shapeshifter"
Release Date: Thursday 11th June 2009
01 Shapeshifter (Radio Edit)
02 Shapeshifter (Album Version)
03 Shapeshifter (Dark DJ Remix)
04 Midnight Romance
So, it's finished! The second promotional single froim "Darkness" is upon us! Shapeshifter was one of the first tracks I pulled together for the album, and was a major influence for the style for the rest of the album.
I was going to leave this release until Monday, but, as it's all finished, in my opinion, I thought I might as well upload today, as I have'nt released any new material for a bit now...
Opinions and critisisms would be appreciated, but please download and enjoy this, I worked hard on it.
Cheers,
Dark.
P.S, Can anyone guess the sample I used for "Midnight Romance"?...No Peeking...

A New Proposition
I've just been given an allmighty cool task!
My uncle's partner is in the process of writing a production called "The Queen Of Clubs", and He has asked me if I would like to compose some music to be considered with it's use! Obviously, I am well chuffed at this opportunity for some coverage!
The only problem will be if the production company and the music organisers for the play want to use the music I compose (Only three or four demo tracks should be enough, apparently).
I must start composing something new right away!
