My Own Strange Love

Here's something I had left over on the PC from working on the Physics Disco, when the mix was a very different creature indeed (i.e. NO dubstep). Inspired by the mighty Flying White Dots himself.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps



**Wipes eye.....sniff**

Lectroset - The Reborn Identity

If you listen to only one mix this year, make it this one - my friend The Reborn Identity takes the electro-ball and knocks it WAY out of the park with this freshly original, crisp and vibrant 30 minute slice of mashup perfection. Awesome work Gav

The Reborn Identity - Lectroset

The Physics Disco

WARNING: This is not your normal full-length Colatron ambient beats/widescreen mash-up album mix. Whilst it may begin and end this way, the music in between is pure, brooding dubstep mashed with heartbreaking love songs and sing-a-long rock. It's just how I've been feeling lately.

Big thanks to
The Reborn Identity for inspiring me with a brilliant little demo mix he sent me of electro-mash he was working on. Finish it soon mate!
DJ UMB for introducing me to some fantastic dubstep tracks and producers via the Gen Bass blog, and again for inspiring me via his amazing dubstep mixes. Yer a Gent!
Corkz for letting me use his fantastic Weyao track (in a rare case of a masher asking permission first!) - Brum's brightest light
Alan, for being Alan. Boquive :)
And a certain special someone who inspired the whole damn sad tale

Now let's get on and enjoy the summer....

Flamenco Bastardo (compilation)

Another brief update whilst I battle with the dubstep beast which is The Physics Disco.

Some months ago, I was asked by the one and only DJ Useo to contribute to the wonderful Sound Unsound Forum's Flamenco Mash Challenge. Intrigued by the prospect, straight away, there was only one group that I even entertained mashing.....the amazing Rodrigo y Gabriela (possibly the greatest live act I've ever seen).

I had a mash using them with Led Zeppelin that was tossed aside a year ago, me fearing it impossible to complete. So of course, I headed straight back to it. Not content with one mash featuring their guitar wizardry, I began a silly mash using their incredible track Diablo Rojo (written about a rollercoaster they'd rode upon, of all things) and classic foot stomper Reel 2 Reel's "I Like To Move It", but at the last minute, I bottled it and played it safe with REM's "Losing My Religion"....in my biased wisdom, my favourite version of many mashes using this acapella.

But that's not all. There's a TRUCKload of great tracks on here, and considering the theme, a SH*Tload of variety of tracks and styles. My peers and contemporaries have done me proud. This is a great way to kick off the summer.

Grab the album from Useo's Blog....

Pour a glass of rioja, wear your tightest strides and a white shirt, grip a rose between your teeth and enjoy the passion of music.

And there's a bass rumbling on the horizon from me too.....

Sounds In the New World (compilation)

Sorry for the lack of updates lately folks - I'm currently putting together a new mix, which has been taking up most of my mashing time. I have made a few tracks for compilations though, including one which is featured on the new Envision/Mashtix comp, "Sounds In the New World"

Put together by the excellent Envision, with the help of the guys at Mashtix, this smashing compilation features 25 tracks, by 20 producers, blending a wide wide variety of genres and sources, resulting in a real feelgood album to kick the summer off with.

So if you're longing for a quick Colatron fix, be sure to head over to Envision's site

Or alternatively, find it on Mashtix at

Next on the cards, hopefully, will be the SUSN Flamenco Challenge Summer Album!

Enjoy
