Voltergeist: October Mix 2008 FREE DOWNLOAD!

A Halloween Treat!

This mix was originally created as a minimal techno mix on a pair of DENON 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!
