Spyral Remixes

As some of you may know, I have been doing remixes and making music for some years now.
Most of it does not get heard but I thought I'd use this blog as an outlet for a select bunch of my songs.
To begin, this is my recent remix of Junior Boys' excellent song 'The Equalizer' - Spyral Equalizations mp3 (or here)
I quite like it, and if you do, please leave a comment!
Thanking you very muchos.

QUARTERLY ROUNDUP SHOW

The end of term conveniently coincided with a quarter of the year having finished, so I thought I would play some of my favourite songs of the first 3 months of 2008. I have never heard of any other radio show using this ground-breaking concept.
I also did some live mixing/editing I believe for this especialle show.

CLASSIC ROCK + PUNK + FUTURE CLASSICS SHOW

I have always confessed to knowing little about "classic" music, and I have always been ashamed of this ignorance. Therefore, for this special show, I managed to wangle an appearance by a local "expert" on Classic Rock and Punk (aka my friend Richard) in order to educate me a little about these things. I also took the opportunity to provide some suggestions for more recent songs and bands which I thought deserved to be seen as "classic" as well.
This was the most listened to show in all of Cambridge that week!
Subterranean Trawler = Number 1 etc...!
