Alex Young, Artech – Minimalesk (Original Mix)
Long Range – Just One More (Hybrid Mix)
V-Sag – Shakespearean Love feat Ukumori (Original Mix)
This mix starts out with a deep dark-ish DW track remixed by Discosynthetique & Miller, drops into the phenomenal and energetic “Zeus” track, followed by “Resurrection” which is one of my recent favorites.
After this, the mix crawls back down into the very dark and delicious “Just One More” Hybrid Mix, by way of “Minimalesk” — and tempo bends back out of the darkness into a nice V-Sag track “Shakespearean Love”.
The new technique of the week, which I used in every transition, is side chain compression between transitioning tracks. This, especially combined with EQ dodging, creates a back-and-forth rhythm between two tracks. Makes for some really interesting rhythm combination possibilities.
Interesting note — my intro into Pillow is taken from the scene in spaceballs where the huge space ship is slowly panning across the screen. Ran it through some reverb, resonance, and chorus FX and pitch altered.
The whole mix is mastered (the “easy” way) using iZotope Ozone 3, which is a phenomenal tool for mastering for those of us who haven’t spent 20 years learning how to do it the old fashioned ways.
Released the next edition of APU.
Lot of energy this time, and plenty of delicious dirty bass.

Enjoy!
Here goes the second mix in my “A.P.U.” series. I’m curious if anybody recognizes the first track. Somehow I had never previously heard of the artist, but love the track..
And, here is the .cue file containing the offset/name of each track.
My start into the emulation scene, and hacking/coding in general, was greatly centered around the original NES game system. So, when I decided to start producing a series of mixes, I decided it was appropriate to name them after the audio processing unit on the 8-bit NES : “APU”.
So, here is the first installment of what will likely be a series of 10-20 mixes. (Right click, Save As)
Although half of the fun is being surprised by each track, and trying to guess what tracks they are, I have made a .cue file which details all of the tracks in this mix:
Hope you enjoy it..!
