TekMonki - “Saudade”

Saudade

Completed this one in an inspired weekend in May. Meat Katie proclaimed it “well produced and solid” and I’m currently in talks with Jonathan Lisle of Bedrock/M-Theory about signing it for a proper worldwide release. Will update you when I know more. Some day.

Unfortunately this means that I can’t make it available for download just yet as labels tend to get touchy about over-exposure of potential releases. Here’s a sample though. :wink:

TekMonki - “Noir York”

This was created around Christmas time 2003. I had just purchased NI’s Battery (which they’ve just updated to v.2 - check the link) and was quite inspired with my new toy. All the same, it was a bit spooky the way this one just came together. I love it when the pieces fall in place like that.

It’s all about the beats and the quasi-”Orbital’ vibe on this one. I’m quite proud of it. Enjoi.

TekMonki - “Last Night”

If I remember right, this was one of my first completed tracks using Cubase. Before that I had pretty much used Reason for everything, but was looking to learn something new about music production so I soldiered on in the face of confusion and frustration. Uphill. Both ways. Errr, something like that.

“Last Night” started with a pad sound that I rather liked and just kind of expanded from there. This seems to be one of the favourites among people who have given me feedback on my tracks. I just might have to agree. It’s definitely got a more subtle chilled vibe to it than some of my dancier stuff. And that’s . . . ok.

TekMonki - “Pimp”

Pimp

Straight up breakbeat affair years in the making, literally. I started it a couple years ago, it got deleted :w00t:. Then I re-did it from scratch. Then it sat for a bit as I felt it was lacking that je ne sais quoi, but I’ve recently discovered what “that” was and remixed it so it sounds a lot cleaner. It still has a couple changes that need to be made to it before I call it “done” though.

Isn’t that always the way? :haha:

I may shop it around when it’s done so I’m not providing it for download just yet.

TekMonki - “SuperNature”

Though it’s the first on the list, this isn’t my first ever track. I have several that may never see the proper light of day as they probably just shouldn’t. This is the first one I was really proud to put my name on though. At the time I wrote it I was much more into the mellow downtempo vibe of things and it was some lazy weekend in the studio just mucking about.

And this is what ended up coming out.
