I have decided to do a brave and bold thing for such a small, specialist blog.
I'm gonna post some random stuff that I like, in the hope that others will to. This will obviously include some random Youtube videos, pictures and websites that I find interesting, amusing or cool, hence the title of the post. I hope whoever reads the blog will enjoy this crap too. :)
This week: One of my videos of my best mate diving into the sea.

Dark DJ - Uneasy Feeling / Victory Theme
These two tracks will form part of the game I am scoring, "Josh The Master Of Gohn 3". I am scoring the entire game, but these are the only new compositions I have done, as the rest of the tracks have appeared on my past releases.

Update on "9"
There has been a slight change of plan with my next EP, "9". Instead of one release, there will now be two releases.
The first, which is my debut release on "Phantom Records", will only have material created by me (5 track EP). This will be the "9" EP. I feel that, as a debut, it should contain all of my own material.
The second release to do with "9" will be a remix album, simmilar to my old "Test Remixes". It will hopefully contain alot of remixes of the tracks from "9", and should also be released on Phantom Records as a follow up to the original.
I hope that all involved understand and are happy with my decisions. I feel that it is fairer to have a remix album because, if iwere to have remixes on the EP, I would have to be very selective over which ones I use. This way, your work is not being discarded.
Thanks for reading,

Updates: 2nd April 2010
Sorry for the lack of posts of late. But this is a quick update with what's going on in my life right now:
"Oblivion 2010" is indeed on it's way. Been doing some demo mixes, but still can't figure out how to begin. Gammacords? The intro from Land's End? "Dawn/Dusk?".
I'm not 100% right now. All I know is that "Monster" and "Windfarms" will have to feature together on this one.
"Tangmere" remixes seem very scarce at the moment, so I might end up going ahead with the three remixes I have. These are the "Tokyo Bass" remix, the "Earlgrey" tribal mix and the "Matthew Riley" remix, also including the sampled B-Side "34067". This should be completed in a few weeks.
The "2010" Remixes album will be more or less cancelled I think, due to lack of interest. I'll wait and see if I get anymore responses, but this seems unlikely.
Thats about it for now chaps.

Dark DJ - Tune In EP
This is my latest release, which has bee created for "Tune In Records" as an exclusive. It is mainly demo material, with some differing techniques in the mastering of some tracks.
"Tune In" has a dreamy but strong introduction, with the vocal "Tune into Tune In" repeated and heavily distorted. The rest of the track has an 8-bit tribal feel to it, with a heavy rave synth coming in halfway through the track.
"The Hania Experiment" is possibly the strangest track on this EP, with an oscillating pitch synth and bells. Again, this one has some 8-bit synth style to it, but with some serious percussion and bass.
"Down Down" has minimal variation, but a catchy main riff. I have tried to replicate some "Deadmau5" elements with this track , Such as the reverb and filters. This one, I feel, is a little like marmite, you either love it or...
My personal favourite on this EP is the last track, slightly self-titled "Dark's Groove". Again, there is minimal variation between the synth patterns, but there are plenty of nice effects that keep it fresh and entertaining. The addictive bassline, laidback style and breaks make this one a rather pleasant listen.

Dark DJ: Remixes: Volume Three
Download Link
Here it is, my latest collection of remixes of various artists that I like.
I guess top picks on this remix album are my "Soma" remix, which I think is faithful to the original and the style of Deadmau5 with regards to synths. Also worthy of note is my "Thinkin Bout U" remix, with which the original artist was impressed with!
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this latest collection of covers, edits and remixes!

2010 Remixes
So i've taken some advice and decided to do a remix album for "2010"...
Basically, I will need remixes of each track on the album, from "Craptastic" right through to "True Fax". Only the best/most interesting will make it onto the album!
Basically, the rules are to contact me (either email if you have me or ask for it, commenting this post, or through any of the links on the side of the blog) and ask for the sample pack of your choice.
Once you have recieved the pack, and remixed the song, send it back to me privately and I will have a listen and get back to you as soon as possible.
Each remix has to be at 320kbps, but I can convert it if needs be. All remixes have to be done by the 16th May 2010.
Sorry if this post seems rushed or awkwardly written, But i've got alot of things to do right now, and have to finish another post. I hope to get some responses to this post, and would love to hear some remixes soon.
One last thing I Must admit though, I already have an Ace remix of "257 Squadron" that will more than likely be featured, and "Tangmere" remixes will be used for it's respective single, so plase ask for tracks other than these.

Tangmere Single: Remixes Needed
So I finally decided to scrap "257 Squadron" as a single, but instead concentrate on the other Battle of Britain locomotive on the album, "Tangmere".
This is mainly because, in many respects, this song is alot better than 257. And it could potentially be a classic! So, ill be asking around to see if I can rely on some remixes of this track.
If any readers would like to have a stab at "Tangmere", please feel free to leave a comment or contact me or something for the sample packs...
Cheers,
Dark.
