Moussa Clarke

It’s Mix Session time again – I seem to get round to these every six months or so. It’s pretty representative of the kind of thing I’m playing out right now – 50% dirty and twisted, 50% uplifting and blissed out, 100% party music.

Big thanks to the various radio stations, blogs and forums that are featuring the mix, I will post a list on here at some point…

A friend of mine sent me this Youtube link, and I can’t stop playing it.

I’d never heard of the Hang Drum until last week – absolutely mesmerizing sound – my inner hippy wants to sign up and go and get one from Berne as soon as possible (there’s a long wait apparently!)

Depending on who you listen to, they are either the scourge of the recording industry or a fantastic new way to promote your music direct to fans. I’m talking about music blogs of course.

I’m definitely of the latter opinion – the technology isn’t going to disappear, you can’t uninvent the web or mp3s or IM or CDRs or Bittorrent or filesharing websites like Yousendit, Mediafire, Zshare et al, so it’s utterly pointless moaning about it and longing for the old days – they ain’t coming back.

In fact the Hype Machine is probably my main way of discovering new music these days, at least for non-dancefloor stuff. I get sent literally 100s of clubby promos every week from labels and producers, and in my free time I prefer to listen to other types of music, or else my mind would quickly dissolve into a kind of electro/house/rave mush, and we definitely don’t want that.

And yes, if I really like it, I’ll go and buy it.

Anyway, I’m really pleased that some of these music blogs have featured my tune “Regret”, in particular the runners-up from the remix competition. Please go and check them out:

Big ups to Kyle, Cristian, Vincent and Kapil for featuring the tune – keep supporting new music!
