Voltergeist: November "Fallout 3 Wasteland" Mix 2008. PODCAST!!!

Finally, and just in time (before November 2008 comes to a close), I've managed to source all of the tracks I wanted in order to make this wee tribute to the post-nuclear Wasteland of the terrifying and utterly engaging Fallout 3 videogame (Bethesda Softworks)...

This wee mix is the perfect accompaniment to your Fallout 3 gaming experience, and if you're not quite as much of a gaming geek as I am then it'll keep your ears and brain thoroughly entertained and freaked out just as much as if you were trapped inside an equally horrifically realized virtual post-nuclear world...

Of course, it's a little more than most Vault 101 dwellers might be used to... Incorporating a blend of my favourite (albeit rather dark and twisted) musical genres and tracks ranging from early acid music to pulsating techno, ear shredding industrial scrapings, wartime classics and throbbing dubstep...

"I don't want to set the world on fire, I just want to start a flame in your heart..."

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!
