It's Finally Done!



Dark House: Volume Two



The second volume of my (once) popular sampled house series. I'm hoping this will get some more interest as I've worked pretty hard making this one.



I'm one of these artists who quite like to chop up samples so that they are slightly distorted and different from the source material, to add some sort of creativity to the new tracks. I've used this effect quite nicely, I think, On "Old Skool" and "Old Skool II", Which are my favourites from this EP right now.



I've been a bit naughty with this release, as it's format differs from my original conception. You see, for Dark House, I wanted to have all tracks with at least one sample. But on this release, "Numbers" contains no samples, but is "Inspired" by Ian Pooley's earlier work (Namely, his track "Puppets" from "Relations"). There is also the fact that I've got two versions of essentially the same song on this release (Here's looking at you two, Old Skool / Old Skool II).



I will say that I hope people enjoy "Enterprise", as it uses mainly synth but a funky sample too. It reminded me of fair ground music, to be honest :D. My least favourite would be "Power Cruise", which actually samples from Microsoft Train Simulator! :O.



But anyway, enjoy this new ep, for it will be my last for a while now, because of "Oblivion" and the pre release practice sessions. I really must get working on these!



Toodles, Chaps!
