<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Many thanks to everyone who tuned into last month’s Smiling Corpse podcast, and equally hearty thanks to Wyrm and the SC crew for the invitation to play – as always I’m hugely grateful for the support. The entire show has just been added to the Dead Happy <\/em>archive<\/a>, so let’s take the chance to look back at the two sets.<\/p>\n Putting my mix together was traumatic to say the least, as I did my very best to strike the balance between using sections from recent club events and not ending up with a structureless Frankenstein’s monster of a set. Personally I think I fell into that trap with Episode 7 of Munted! Monthly, but this time I considered how to use pre-existing stuff much more carefully and am far happier with the end result. Having said that, a few days before the deadline I hacked out 6 (!) tracks and had a proper (if manic) rethink, as it clearly didn’t have enough melancholy or relisten value.<\/p>\n As always, a massive thanks to the artists and labels who provided tunes – these sets couldn’t happen at all without your help. This time I was sold on Gestaltzerfall <\/em>as an intro track the moment I heard it, and either by DJing sixth sense or blind luck (I know which one’s more likely) Prelude <\/em>was the first tune I tried as a mix. Happily, Prelude<\/em> has been a backup connection for the Freedom – Rise – Dilapidated <\/em>section for a good few months now, and that really inspired me for the rest of the set. Fatal Flashback <\/em>and Afraid <\/em>was a recent find, while I’ve been playing around with the Neon Circuitboards – Gravity’s Rainbow – Darkstar <\/em>section since Munted! in London. After much back and forth, I finally decided on Helix – Mohicans<\/em> as the finale after playing the preceding 50mins a few times in practice. There’s just enough nastiness to link them both to the rest of the set, before heading off into that magical, melancholy direction.<\/p>\n Of course the set’s far from perfect, but given my time restrictions these days I was really glad to see how some of the Krafty listeners enjoyed it on the night – it made all the hair-tearing and kickdrum-induced headaches worthwhile. By the way, a couple of the ‘CDR’ tracks here are headed for release (or at least, announcement of a release) very soon indeed, and will likely sound even nicer as here I used unmastered\/older versions.<\/p>\n 01) Guld – Gestaltzerfall [CDR]
