Mixo de Mayo

After such a joyous MixXmas last year, it was decided to spread the cheer all the way into this Spring. Thus, the first Mixo de Mayo mix exchange was initiated. I made my mix for my honorable east coast artist colleague Mike Treffehn this time around, and, like MixXmas, have decided to change up my routine a little bit. By and large, this is not dance music, though some kinda is. I wanted to take this opportunity to start my first ever mix series, and I'm titling it "Feel Music." These songs have had a big impact on the way my studio work has developed conceptually this past semester, and so I thought making a concise mix of them would both pay them tribute, and include them in a new self-contained piece altogether. I hope people like it, because I'll probably make "Vol. 2" someday. Also, I know there are two little blips in The Field's remix right before it leads into the Basinksi track, but that's because my rickety computer had a hard time getting the 20 minute Disintegration Loop going. I left it in as a nod to The Field's own "Sun and Ice." As a bonus I'm also posting a zip file with all of the individual tracks from the mix. Ciao.

PS - Apparently Megaupload cuts off the title of the mix, so you might want to add a little "1" in there after you download it. Also, this blog is now the #1 Google search result for Gold Skulltulla! Yay!

Just As Planned

Two months go by faster than you might think, but as promised, I have delivered a new mix within the timeframe. I'm calling it "Criminal Anxiety" for a number of reasons, one of which being that I've been really into Deathnote (see post title and pic), but also because I threw a party this past weekend that resulted in a few of the local officers stopping by (no biggie btw, just a warning for a noise complaint). Anyway, I was spinning a rough version of this mix, and so, that's one reason. The mix itself is 46:46 in length, and contains a bunch of crowd-pleasers. Also criminal is my use of a song containing James Brown's "Whoo, Yeah!" sample which I have previously denounced as the most overused sample of all time. I can only hope my pairing of "Love No" with "Your Love" makes up for this hypocrisy. Enjoy.

Live The Moment

New Gold Skulltulla Mix! This one's called "The Moment." It clocks in at just under 32 minutes and fulfills my personal pledge to put out a new mix at least every two months. I made most of this mix pretty well off the cuff (well ok, 1 rehersal round) except for the ending which I spent some considerable time on, but I'm definitely pleased with the way it turned out. It's mixed live as always, and I hope you enjoy it. Also, sorry about zshare, I realize it's even more of a pain than it used to be. I'll try something different next time or maybe I'll update this with a different link.

Vengeance

Time for a little MixXmas cheer. This is my contribution to the mix-giving season, made specifically for Jordan Harp. The title is a response to the mix he made for me two years ago called DaNtaSMaGorIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1. Thus I give you JORdanTaZmAGoriA!!!: The Revenge; a 2-Disc extravaganza where one is a mixtape and the other disc takes all the tracks from the first and adds in a bunch more, resulting in a 77 minute continuous mix. This was a different kind of mix for Gold Skulltulla (me), being that it's full-length and is almost all techno, which was a new experience for me. Everything is from 2007 with the exception of one oldie (but goodie!). Hope you all like it. Tracklists and megaupload links are below. Note that the zip folder will not have the songs in the specified order in which they were meant to be played.
