"October Lament" Mix (2004) - Roper & Theory77

I was digging through a mountain of ancient and unlabelled CDR's up in the attic the other day. Amongst the horrific, naive, inept and moody rap stuff, I re-discovered a couple of old mixes.
I thought I might as well share this one or at the very least have it preserved somewhere for my own reference as I'd forgotten all about it until now.

This is an uncharacteristically simple and bare bones mix of old and odd records that I put together a long time ago with Mr Willet.
Kind of a "Press play and stick some effects in there" sort of deal.

"October Lament" is the deliberately wanky, artsy title that he came up with to make him smile.
Somehow all the tracks relate to death and/or the Devil in one way or another which, as far as I'm aware, was an accident.

It's insane how long ago it seems that I did this - almost seems like a past life or something.
A very peculiar feeling.

It's a good soundtrack for a rainy day and as it's raining as I'm uploading it I guess it's a pretty apt time for it to surface again.

Enjoy.

Fidel Cutstro + Theory 77 beat tape coming soon...

Seeing as I've been in Brighton for three years now I thought it was about time I walked round the corner for a cut at this fools house.

Ian's a good guy. A super genuine, no bullshit and ultra friendly chump who has always put up with my slightly abrasive opinions over the years.
He's also got a demon record collection and a vast hip-hoppery knowledge without the usual arrogant, nerdy crap that often comes with it.

I met him in 1999 at the BattleJam in Chichester.
I think we were both in the finals. I won the thing for two years running and then I wasn't allowed to compete after that. I judged. Stoopid B-boys...obviously intimidated by my youthful good looks.
I had hair back then too - sort of.

Sidetracked...

Oh yeah. Ian and I have been talking about doing a mix/beat/cut-up tape recently and it looks like it's actually going to happen. Should be pretty fun.
At present it's going to be a two part thing but we might end up chopping both our sections together who knows...

Looking forward to the final result.
Haven't worked with anyone for nearly sixteen years...christ that's insane now that I think about it!

Here's a little clip from the other day.
We didn't really discuss much and he showed me a load of fancy equipment that I didn't understand.
I got distracted and was generally a twat. Helpful.

You can download his "Uncooked Raw" mix HERE from his jolly little Soundcloud page.

Stay tuned for news an' ting.

Episode twenty? Holy crap....If I do say so myself, this show's a pretty good one. I even sound a little like I know what I'm doing on here. Nuts.

Blahdy blah, yeah lost my job yesterday. Government cut-backs, Royal weddings, War and other UK twattery. Whatever. It's Summer. I can cope with being a bum again for a while.
Also means I can catch up on the mountain of half finished music and weird projects that have been sitting there laughing at me over the past year or so. Expect a load of new stuff from me soon. Stay tuned.
