Spaced Out 80s Library Records Mix

This all vinyl DJ mix features driving intergalactic late 70s and early 80s synthesizer music from some recently acquired, somewhat exotic production library records.

Production or Library music is royalty free music created to be used in film scores, TV shows, commercials and radio jingles. Although destined for commercial use much of this music is far from conservative and represent cutting edge sounds of the times. As you will hear many of these jams probe deep in to the future with their creative use of vintage synthesizers or just kick back with jazz and funk grooves.

I named this mix Bibliotheque, the French word for “Library” because the majority of these tracks are from French production houses with a few from the UK as well. Labels include KoKa Media,RCA Media, Spectrum Mood Library and Bruton Music.

Mixing was a challenge as these records are new to me and contain many tracks each with lots of jingles less than than a minute long but on the plus side they usually have descriptive track names that describe the mood and tempo. Sorry no track list but I am happy with the results that show off a wide range of cool old school library tracks. Enjoy this mix of rarely heard vinyl and be taken away to a retro 80s sci-fi dramatic adventure through time and space!

Acquire the Frequencies – Get Out of Town

After a recent trip to NYC and its many galleries I felt inspired to try something different and away from the computer. Visual collages were a natural choice as much of my music is made by cutting and pasting found sounds in to something new in a similar way.

Zoom in and let your intuition tell you which cryptic message is for you. Conscious Sedation? Let’s Get Weird? Think in 3D? Perhaps your message is in the pictures rather then the words. Only you can decide but remember, when in doubt: Acquire the Frequencies – Get Out of Town!
