Microrave Records Podcast Voltergeist: October 2008 PROMO Mix

Voltergeist: October Mix 2008

A Halloween Treat!

This mix was originally created as a minimal techno mix on a pair of DENON Microrave Records is a dance music label based in Ayrshire, SCOTLAND. The label was set up in October 2008 by musician and producer Shaun Dowse (aka Shaun Dimensional) initially as a means of releasing his own music commercially. With several releases planned for 2009 by other talented local producers the label looks set to expand quickly.

Specializing in Minimal Techno, IDM and "alternative" electronic music, Microrave Records hopes to bring fresh and exciting new music to the clubs and hearts of dance music fans with an open mind and good taste!DN-S3500's, and then edited extensively using Ableton LIVE 7 to add extra effects and samples. The aim was to initially create a unique spooky and atmospheric mix, and then 'post-mix' the resulting recording in order to reach levels of sound manipulation which can only be done using modern audio technology! I like to think of the finished result as a treat for the ears and the mind!

It's taken me many hours and countless doses of odd Pumpkin & Mushroom Soup (my mother's recipe) in order to achieve this!
