My First Uvumi.com Remix/Collab

First and foremost, if you haven’t heard Tad Rees’ “A Beautiful Sunrise” or any of his other amazing songs, do yourself a favor and check it out! You’ll find Tad’s stuff here:  http://www.uvumi.com/#tadreesakasolo and also here:  http://www.thesixtyone.com/#/soloTadRees/

I first friended Tad on Uvumi after hearing Sunrise. It was so beautiful that I played it in the background at work all day long. So I asked Tad about doing a remix, and he agreed. I just finished it, and I think you’ll like it. Check it out:

You can also hear it at Uvumi.com:  http://www.uvumi.com/#nebulae/songs/12655 and at TheSixtyOne.com:  http://www.thesixtyone.com/s/YRQtgUDWJ92/

Just released my latest addition to the “Tragic” record, called “Sunshine.” It’s about regrets and coming to terms with them to ultimately realize that you are where you want to be. Enjoy:

The song page is here: http://music.nebulae.com/track/sunshine. Sunshine is also posted on various music sites. Please support me on Uvumi.com and TheSixtyOne.com:

 

Nebulae Music Used on “Crash”

My music was used in a scene on the show “Crash” currently running on Starz. The scene is an exchange between the late great Dennis Hopper and Michael Nouri. The music is low in the background, so I added a little compression in the mix to bring it out a bit. The full version of the song is “Chaos,” found on my Wallpaper record, which you can listen to here: http://music.nebulae.com/album/wallpaper Here’s the scene:

My remix of Hot Bitch Arsenal’s “Double Down Quick” is on the front page of TheSixtyOne.com : http://www.thesixtyone.com/posted/?goto_song_id=5Bcy5cXuUZv

On a side note, I really miss HBA. I wish they had continued to make their awesome music. The music world is a lesser place without them.

Here’s a great article that my friend Dedbird send me about how doing late night mixes and making mixes while accumulating ear fatigue can lead to bad results. Good advice for those of you into music production.

Tragic

On June 10, 2010, in Music, Tragic, by nebulae
0

This record contains songs in the past couple of years that were all written during tragic occurrences, including the near death of my wife, a friend’s child being diagnosed with cancer, and the death of a good friend. It’s a deeply personal and emotional set of songs, which is probably why I opted for organic instruments instead of my typical electronic soundscapes.

Song List:

1. Sunshine  2. The Pale Stone  3. Tomorrow  4. The Bicycle Philosopher  5.  Sunday Drive (Nebulae with Lux Divon)

 

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll is an on-going project with Cat Hall Angeles, formerly of Dissonance. Most of the songs have elements of darkwave and breakbeat electronica. Cat’s vocals are the best I’ve ever worked with. I can’t praise them enough.

Updates:

Read the interview of Chlorophyll by Regen Magazine. Check out a great remix by Tod Miner of “Those Who Wait.” The latest Chlorophyll song is called “Katmandu.” We’re in the process of cooking up some more goodies.

Song List:

1. Katmandu  2. Lullaby  3. The Key  4. Butter  5. April8  6. Step Off  7. Those Who Wait  8. Lullaby (Dedbird Remix)  9. Those Who Wait (Tod Miner’s Priapic Mix)  10. Bitter (Yan Sinus Remix)

Treasure Chest

“Treasure Chest” is a collection of remixes and songs that have not been released on a Nebulae record.

http://music.nebulae.com/album/treasure-chest

I did a remix a few years ago for a local Dallas band called Triprocket. They do a cover of Zeppelin’s classic Immigrant Song. Here’s my remix of the cover: http://uvumi.com/#nebulae/songs/5993

Additional remixes are streaming on Uvumi.

My remixes of Hot Bitch Arsenal songs get a lot of attention. I love stumbling across random comments over the web: http://www.radioparadise.com/content.php?name=songinfo&song_id=40430

Wallpaper

After a six-year gap of no releases, this album was released. It’s a collection of songs performed live from 2006-2008. Songs range from tech-house to electro to jungle. Heavily electronic and beat-driven.

http://music.nebulae.com/album/wallpaper

Some of my proudest work came from shows I played over the past couple of years. I compiled those shows and originally released the songs in two 40-minute Livesets, recorded, produced, and mastered entirely on Ableton Live 6 and 7. Since then, I’ve split the sets into individual songs for easier downloading. The first six songs are part of the electro house set, and the last eight songs are part of the melodic breaks liveset.

Song List:

1. Buzzin’ In Berlin  2. Other Planets  3. Drill  4. Gong  5. Drive-By  6. Chaos  7. Allelujah  8. Normandy  9. Shaken, Not Stirred  10. The Ad 02:59  11. Dubai 05:14  12. Lullaby (Original)  13. Bunny Hop 14. Tarantulae08

Reviews:

“Hi Abid, Listening to it while I write – very nice! Thanks for letting us know and hoping all goes well there, G.”
- Gerhard Behles, CEO, Ableton

“Obviously superb mixing, and a consistent style. I love the sounds used. Its all so warm and silky and spacey. Also the extra little details like the glitchy bits in “Other Planets” really make it. Most impressed by this.”
- Condra, AbletonLiveDJ.com

“Sounding great man! I think some of these may just end up on a mix eventually.”
- Marsh240sx, AbletonLiveDJ.com

“All I can say is FAT! Very impressive. I was thinking that you should play the song at 34:30 the next time you have a court date. Get the beats pumping while you walk up to the bench…now that would be an opening!”
- Vinkalmann, AbletonLiveDJ.com

“Just finished part 1, and it is full of awesome !!! Lots of subtle variations throughout, great energy flow, kick ass sounding all the way through! On to part 2 …”
- Yuri, AbletonLiveDJ.com

“Well here we go had a listen to both of them and have to say that i really enjoyed the second more cause of personal taste…..both of them were extremely well done and my hat goes off to you bro:) will look forward to hearing more of your stuff in the future… i would agree i wouldn’t mind hearing the first one in the club that’s for sure.”
- Syatika, AbletonLiveDJ.com

“Mmmm hmmmmm….sounding gooood!!”
- Ethios4, Ableton Forum

After releasing Wallpaper for DJs: “You bastard. That’s how you should have released it in the first place Mr. 80′s Mix Tape.”
- Beats Me, Ableton Forum

“Hey man, (writing as I discover), that’s good stuff!! Makes my morning very good and joyful. Thanks. (more to come hopefully..)”
- Pamelita (Amo), Ableton

“I like Buzzin’ in Berlin and Chaos. Buzzin’ in Berlin would definitely make a nice intro track for a studio mix.”
- Zonkerbl, AbletonLiveDJ.com

“Bugger…wish I’d have listened to these before putting the acid mix together…that Chaos track would have fitted right in. Liked all of these mate…my 2 favourites are Other Planets and Chaos with Gong a close third. I’m definetly adding those to the stuff i need to get warped to take away in August with me.”
- Jono_H, AbletonLiveDJ.com

“Wow man, this is really impressive stuff….My favourite is definitely Gong. Really great track, sort of experimental but at the same time a solid track. Followed by Drill, loving the sounds in that track. Buzzin in Berlin comes third with those really nice distant acid noises, nice buildup, not sure if it’s chill out or full-on but I like it. I would definitely play those three.”
- ChevTheWizard, AbletonLiveDJ.com

“6 awesome tracks I hope to be using.”
- TheCampbell, AbletonLiveDJ.com
