check it out:

she’s a beast. Needs a little work, but way cooler than the van I traded for it. It’s a ‘77 CJ-5, with the AMC 304 & 3-speed transmission. It’s a blast to drive, even more so than I thought it would be. Looks like it’ll be a summer of off-road shenannigans for me.

early birthday present I guess (though he didn’t know it’s coming up). It’s the old, first version, but still cool. Especially for free. Thanks Jeremy!

A set of sounds I worked on for German audio software company Wusik.com (HQ Synthetica) is being released soon at their shop. These sounds were previously only available as part of the Wusik Sound Magazine. Watch their site for details:

An excerpt:

“…A lot of unexpected things happen during this album; there are a number of tricky songs here that flip upside down when least expected, revealing a refreshing second face, a multidimensionality that’s becoming harder and harder to come across…

…Pleasure, Pain and Distraction refuses to be ignored and manages to deliver some intriguing highlights. It will appeal to fans of many electronic genres, but will also be appreciated by those with a taste for the experimental who disdain the imaginary restrictions of genre borderlines.”

 I recently finished a remix for Finnish artist MKDELTA, it can be  found at the link below:
