607 Time Stereo in all its Glory

It is about time I did a record label overview here.  Time Stereo started as a cassette-only label by David Brainard (Princess Dragonmom, Little Princess) and Warn Defever (His Name is Alive).  They expanded to CD-Rs and very artsy box sets as well as other art objects like oven mitts and clouds, and all sorts of interesting collectables.  I've been lucky enough to score some limited prints from them as well as waiting around for the crazy early morning drops of limited box sets.  The website used to be very robust with a lot of incredible information and artwork, and a great discography.  They also used to host an annual Noise Camp which from the pictures and stories sounds freaking amazing.

The music on this label is literally all over the sonic map, while geographically isolated to Livonia, Michigan.  As a rabid fan of His Name Is Alive, I can easily say some of their best material was released on these limited CD-Rs.  The Heart and Hand and Cloud box sets are some of my most prized possessions.  

Here I present two mixes.  One of pleasant music and one of harsh noise.  Several tracks are excerpts as many Time Stereo releases are single tracks that span 40+ minutes.  There is some CD noise on a couple tracks that is unavoidable due to the media I ripped from (CD-Rs with printed sticker labels).  I've collected all I can, but am still missing a lot of the discography which is respectfully very limited and obscure.  If anyone has Time Stereo releases, please reach out to me.  I'd love to obtain copies, or higher quality rips if anyone is willing to share.

606 Its Kid606 time

The first decade or so of Miguel Manuel De Pedro aka Kid606's work was tremendously enlightening for me.  The squelchy, digital, fritzy anarchist punk attack at electronic music was so fresh and exciting to me.  I used to do DJ sets of all Tigerbeat6, Vinyl Communications, & Violent Turd artists back in the day, usually to the annoyance of my guests.  Here I've assembled a rather lengthy set of his early works that really stand out.  Mostly comps, aliases and rarities I believe; and a lot of fun for the patient listener.  

Yeah, I'd been holding on to this one so I could release it as my 606th mix here.

603 The Remix According to Techno Animal

JKB and Kevin Martin aka The Bug making very dirty raw beats with a wall of noise.  Wonderful stuff.  I felt this should be a separate entry from yesterday's massive JKB overview. I believe the only thing missing from this mix is the JSBX dub remix of Bacon which I just couldn't track down.

559A Weirdos Having Fun

Yeah, Wonderful Weirdo's day is still a few weeks away, so I'm getting these next few mixes out in your hands so you are well prepared.

Maybe it was all those years listening to Vicki Bennett's "Do or DIY" radio show on WFMU.  Maybe its my disdain for pop music.  Bottom line, I love weird things.  The next several playlists highlight some oddball music that usually defies categorization.   This is the stuff I listen to when no one else is around.

556 Snippits mix 3: the bits between the bits

Here it is, volume 3 of my snippit mixes.  Collecting short tracks (generally 1 minute or less) from albums when I was compiling other mixes and dumped them in a folder to be sorted later.  96 tracks took quite an effort to sort and arrange into somewhat of a musical narrative.  Quirky humor, blasts of cacophony, at times peaceful, and some almost resembling songs.  Vol 1 and Vol 2 still available.

On a different subject that I am passionate about, please consider donating to keep what we love alive.

553 El-P

  El-Producto, aka Jaime Stuart Meline has been an unrelenting force in rap music for three decades.  I remember getting "Funcrusher Plus" when it came out and being instantly hooked, especially the DJ Premiere remix of "8 Steps to Perfection."  El-P's production work is no joke either, Cannibal Ox made me take notice of that.  Throughout the years my favorite of his works were his guest appearances, many of which are included here along with some productions and remixes.  His career was all leading up to Run The Jewels, which is a like a late career megaton bomb.  Amazing and shows he still has a lot of gas left in the tank.

529 The Remix According to James Plotkin

I was first introduced to James Plotkin through the band Old, then was enamored with his solo album The Joy of Disease.  His collaborations with Mick Harris and Mark Spybey really solidified my appreciation of his artistry.  I have checked into some of his work with Aaron Turner in Jodis and Lotus Eaters which is wonderful ambient music from them, and of course Khanate is incredible.  Otherwise, I really need to seek out more of his works and productions as I've been impressed by everything I have so far.  

Here is a collection of the remixes I was able to track down and they're all over the map.  Diversity in his approach for sure.

500c Moozlerantics - The early years

This set covers some of my earlier experiments, from 1994-2005.

  Principle B 107 - This was touched up in 2005, but is actually some of the earliest sample based work I did

  Ov -ites und -ettes (edit) - This track is actually an alternate recording from what was included on my bandcamp page, I think I made 5 or 6 versions of this one.

  Feeling Nervous - The first track I officially released, on a Legendary Pink Dots tribute album of fan made original compositions

  Feeling Nervous (remix) - a dramatically different version made a few months later

  Obsidian - One of my favorites from my high school years

  A Line in the Sand - Another from "realign the moon"

  Bonus Track (Atacan las Brujas) - Completely built using Fruity Loops and the namesake El Santo movie

  Perforate My Heart, Sunshine - Nearly all based on His Name Is Alive samples, with some supplemental original recordings

  Tuning-Preparation - The opening track from my college music project, a re-interpretation of Berlioz's Faust except I did it as a live soundtrack to the Jan Svankmajer film Faust.

  Epilogue...a new Faust - the closing track from my college music project.  Chaotic, but that's how the film ended.

  Noise with his gun (loop4) - A very early loop-based collage using samples from Muslimgauze, The Sundays, Scorn, Volcano the Bear, a several others I can't remember now.

  Influx - A performance piece for my high school talent show, I was in the background and invited anyone that felt like dancing up on stage, it got wild.  Lots of His Name Is Alive samples in here.

  Eat Me, Lord - This is probably the first track I shared with my friends.  

  Denial (remix) - My first remix attempt.  The original recording was a band I was in at the time, and I can honestly say I have zero recollection of what I was doing or how this was made.  Everything was analog on metal 4-track cassettes so I got very inventive on this track.

  Actualize and Instigate - Another from "Realign the Moon"

  And This Is How It Will End - The closer from "Realign the Moon"

500b Moozlerisms

This set is an overview of my mid-late period (2003-2010), just before the work compiled on "Where it Ended."  

  Top Shelf Whiskey - my response to watching Brisco County Jr

  Archazi Trib Long Loops - abandoned project based on samples provided by Archazi

  Forlorn #7 - a track I dramatically reworked several times

  Graven Image (Grave Dub #2) - A reworked track from an abandoned album

  Untitled - A collaboration with my friend Matt, this was what I provided, he never responded.

  We All Fall Like Rome (Dirty Version) - This is a one-take jam I did, taking inspiration from Jesu, Envy and Sunn O)))

  An Affair To Remember (Guitar version) - This was my response to a friend's film release party, he still owes me money for some soundtrack work I did on another film.

  Untitled Excerpt (Succubus) - A reworked track from my "Realign" period

  It May Be - A track based on scrambling some samples from my friends the Wild Angels

  The Farmer - A hodgepodge, the title comes from the Kimya Dawson track I sampled

  Onset - Opening track from "Realign the Moon" album, sets the tone for the rest of those pieces.

  Patiently - Another track based on more from the Wild Angels.

  Serenade in A Major - A classical guitar piece I wrote, sadly the resolving chord is cut off.  This is part of a six piece suite - though the recordings are pretty rough for the rest of it.

  Why I Love Colorado - This was reused on my only official album under the title "Seedy Market Street", this is an earlier version.

  Why I Left You - I reused some rap vocals from a coworker back in 1994

500a Its Moozler Time!

Despite my wonky numbering system, this is my 500th mix here and to celebrate that milestone I figured it was time I veered from the standard for just a short while.

Once upon a time I was pretty active in creating music.  Raised as a classical guitarist, then playing in an alternative rock band in the mid-90s, a punk band in the late 90s, finally re-focusing on electronic and noise based music with my guitar based midi converter, 303, and rudimentary 2 second sampler I attacked my imagination with ferocity.

I released one official album, one semi-official EP, two tracks on film scores, one college project, one tribute album, two tracks on other tribute albums, and the rest is all bedroom recordings on my 4-track Tascam.  I made several cassettes for friends, and traded a lot of CD-R's online with other musicians. Found a few collaboration opportunities, several artists to remix, and had a lot of fun making a racket and stretching the possibilities of what I thought I could create.

The music in these three mixes is pretty much what you'd expected based on the mixes I've shared.   Best I can compare it to is maybe early His Name Is Alive experiments, Seefeel, Plateau & Download, Tyranny for You era Front242, Nurse With Wound, Pascal Comelade, Faust, Severed Heads, breaks like DJ Shadow, grooves like DJ Wally, and perhaps early industrial like SPK.

Always unique and sometimes painful.  20+ years on I still genuinely like this stuff and wish I'd put more effort into production value and mastering.  Armed with a stack of 100's of vintage sci-fi and El Santo movies, I sampled everything from V/VM, Muslimgauze, Crash Worship and Scorn to the Sundays, Lush and Kimya Dawson; and whatever I could find in-between.  Plus I was nefarious and would hide tape recorders in my car and house when friends came over for drinks.  Everything was fair game.

Here I present three new selections of tracks, unmixed so the listener can pick and choose what the want to hear.  These supplement the five albums I have available on bandcamp.

First up is a collection of remixes.  This is where I had the most fun.  I was a site admin for a mp3 sharing site focused on independent musicians.  Many of them reached out asking for a remix of one of their tracks and I happily obliged.  Struck up a friendship with a few artists that continue today.  This complements the album "Not What You Hoped For."
