064: i know who i be acid remix

2026/08/23

this traxck has been stuck in my head for over a week now and it's so good. I couldn't help but acidize it a little though.: avido, JAZZWRLD, GL_Ceejay - I Know Who I Be. Original here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fo7MlimxqFQ

064: noise exploration

2026/06/06

I stepped up tot he machines and thought "what if I can't find a groove" so I thought sod it no predefined beats. So this is an exploration of noise and found rhythms. Mostly driven by the MetalFetishist

063: cv-jam

2026/05/10

experimental mix using the Metal Fetishist driving the 777 over CVs. This is my first time out using this approach. It has a few random bits but picks up on some nice grooves

062: meditation

2026/04/17

Slowly evolving and hypnotic. No sudden movements or sounds. Quietly heavy in places but only subtle. Ideal for coding or to drift off to sleep or other worlds

061: Live from STB

2026/03/15

Soothe your weary brain in a bath of cool noise. Allow the static to caress your skin as deeply distorted frequencies penetrate your bones. Celebratory 50 min set testing out my new setup for doing live stuff. I'm pretty pleased with how that went.

060: boxfreak

2026/02/28

testing out a new way of making mixes using just the bluebox mixer and the microfreak. a bit more chilled than usual xD

059: tr8s mayhem

2026/02/01

TR8S and RC505, going mental. 29mins live and unrehearsed. This is all about the energy.

058: emergence

2026/01/18

I was kinda wanting to revisit what I did in episode 042 (Going full Krista) so this is experimenting with just how far i can push the womp directive on the TR8S. Created only on the TR8S. Large speakers recommended. Heavy drums & ripping bass

057: top secret NYE rave live set

2026/01/08

I think this is the first time I've tried using the MetalFetishist in an actual set, rather than just experimenting with it. This was TR8S, MF and the Boss RC-303 for samples and such. It's a bit rough in places but I really like the energy throughout.

056: further metal fetishist experiments

2025/12/31

Unfrotunately because i messed up the naming of the files on the previous two eps and changed it, youtube decided not to pull them across to please check them out on the podcast at 303.co.uk. This is TR8S and the MF once again, but experimenting with trig

055: metal fetishist - experiments 03 - how it started

2025/12/06

an earlier experiment, initially putting the MF with the TR8S but the TR seemed somewhat redundant.

054: metal fetishist - experiments 14 - how its going

2025/12/06

ok so since i got the body synths metal fetishist i've been on a bit of a weird journey trying to find what it works with abnd what works with it FOR ME. These are totally out of order but are some of my experimentations into this realm.

053: bunker womp

2025/11/16

survived another challenging week of vehicular chaos, culminating in moving out of the van and into the bunker (for now at least). Time for some acid then. 1:15hrs acid techno improv mix

052: memories

2025/11/09

stressy day doing work on the van, needed some grinding basslines and wistful noise. sorry about the levels

051: gatebuilders

2025/10/26

Back to basics - why am I doing this? For the ACIIIIID noises of course. This one is for me, what *I* enjoy. so it's a slowly evolving piece with lovely rich layers of frequencies overlapping & doing lovely things. Hopefully the mp3 doesn't mash it up
