Free mp3 Download!

Dumb Dan and I ran a remix competition during September 2007 for my track "Regret", and as promised we are making the runners up remixes available for download for free, in glorious maximum quality mp3 format.

And yes, that's free as in beer...however we do ask a couple of favours from you in return (feel free to choose):

Favour no. 1. Show your love: Leave us a comment on this blog post. Tell us what you think of the mixes.

Favour no. 2. Spread the love: Give any DJs you know and all your clubby mates the link to this post - if you're the geeky type, please bookmark it on del.icio.us et al, or link to us in your own blog...

Favour no. 3. Share the love: Feel free to fileshare on AIM/MSN/Gnutella etc... We'd prefer it if you shared the whole zip file since it includes all our info, but if you're going to share individual mp3s, please leave the id tags intact.

Favour no. 4. Spend some love: If you like the track, please go and buy one of the other mixes from Beatport, so that we can afford some of the above-mentioned beer.

Ok, that's quite enough blah blah, here is the link - enjoy!

South Korea and Egypt Debuts

Two debuts coming up! Next weekend I'll be playing in Seoul in South Korea - I'll be at Underlounge with DJ19 on 3rd November. Then a couple of weeks later on 16th November, I'll be at Thrust in Cairo in Egypt. Looking forward to both of these big time :-)

Musique vs U2 Video

Here's a blast from the past which I just found on Youtube... Nick Hanson and I looking rather starstruck in Fort Lauderdale:

Regret Remix Competition Winners

In the end, we found we couldn't decide between the best two entries... so we didn't - there are two winning mixes and both will be featured on the forthcoming commercial release of "Regret".

And the winners are:

Roman Rai (Czech Republic) Myspace
Roman Rai is one of the residents at the Roxy in Prague, and also heads up Solstice Records. His mix has a wicked retro feel, lots of musicality, as well as some great production touches and plenty of dancefloor bounce.

6884 (Italy) Myspace
6884 is a young producer from Turin - his remix is nothing short of amazing - moody, emotional and minimal, with more than a passing nod to Nathan Fake, James Holden and that whole Border Community vibe. Check the goose-bumbs inducing breakdown!

You can check both of these mixes out (as well as the three runners up) over at Dumb Recordings.

New Beatport Releases

"Regret" (Original/Daniel Linderberg Mixes) and "Love Key" (Justin C & Justin Xara Mixes) are out now via Beatport. Go seek :-)

Obbio in Seville

I had a great night in Seville the other weekend - the club is actually called Obbio (and not Taboo as I previously posted!) Thanks to Miguel and Nicko, and also big ups to the party crew who turned up and who left me messages in my website's guestbook (and sorry we didn't make it to the "ravas en el puente", but the hotel room beckoned)

Biggest tunes of the night were probably DJ Sender "Torque" and Patrick L - "Ringin", which worked so well together I've just put together a little re-edit/mashup...

Part of the night's promotion included place mats in one of the main square's restaurants with my face on them. Slightly disconcerting eating a meal off your own face, but the pizza and tapas were delicious ;-) I've been loving playing in Spain recently, and I should be back in Seville before the end of the year, as well as Barcelona.

Regret Runners Up Announced

After much Deliberation, Dumb Dan and I have finally chosen the runners up in the remix competition for my track "Regret". It wasn't an easy choice, we had lots of very good entries. Thanks to everyone who took part. The Runners-up are:

Chris James: Myspace
From the Midlands in the UK, Chris delivered a wicked techy remix, playing about with the original melody and keeping enough punch to move any floor.

Deutsche Unschuld:  Myspace
Aka Marc Kowalski from Hamburg in Germany, DU's epic interpretation features emotional gated pads, and clever techno touches.

Nathan Vain: Myspace
Hailing from San Francisco, Nathan heads down a more minimal route, with crisp beats,  phat bass and dark strings stabs.

The runners-up remixes will be available to download for free (yes that's right, for free) at the end of the month from mine and Dumb Recording's websites and Myspace pages.

The main winner will be announced on Friday and will feature on the full commercial release. Stay tuned!

Torre Del Lago and Seville

A few weeks ago I played Frau Marleen in Torre Del Lago in Italy - great crowd - a heady mix of fashionistas, club kids and drag queens, and a thundering sound system. The resident DJ, Matteo Matteini, played one of the best warm up sets I've ever heard - respect! And I had a blast during my set - all helped by a very enthusiastic reception from the people there. I'm definitely looking forward to playing a lot more in Italy in the future...

This weekend I'm at Taboo in Seville, in Andalucia. I really enjoyed my gig in Barcelona at the end of August, and it's great to be going back to Spain again.

Brand New Look
