Revolution Void - Oldskool Breaks Mix (2006)

This is a mix of oldskool breaks tracks I did circa 1996-1998. It has been released as WAV, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis formats. The music ranges from down- to mid-tempo funky breaks to up-tempo drum'n'bass and oldschool hardcore.

The picture is by Alex Grande and the design is by Yuriko Miyamoto.

First up, here's a tune I made with the idea of using it for a film or video game soundtrack. This mix has an extended intro.

This next tune is very much in-progress. The piano take will probably be replaced and overall the song will change quite a bit before its final release. Consider this a "demo" mix.

Now on to the piano recordings. This is a recording of an improvised 12-bar blues on acoustic piano:

Here's a short improv track with minor tonality and a walking bassline:

This is a short segue I made that would be suitable for transitioning between segments in a TV show, radio, film or other broadcast media.

Finally, here's a take of some turntable scratching I did, using a Technics 1200 turntable, Rane TTM 450 mixer and an Ortofon DJ Pro needle.
