Two Unreleased Breaks Tracks on Soundcloud


The headline pretty much says it all. Two unreleased tracks from the Kemek the Dope Computer are now up on Soundcloud, available for free download.

The tracks are "Ghola (tokidoki dub)," a techy piece I completed while in Japan, and "Darkwave," a moody piece with a sort of horror movie vibe. Enjoy.

Seeding the Sound Cloud

I'd like to direct your attention to my Sound Cloud page, which is constantly in flux (much like a real cloud, I suppose). Because I'm an out-of-work post-student, I can't afford to pay the monthly fee so I'm working with a limited amount of uploads. Hence the flux.

Anyway, I like to use it as a place to debut tracks and post rough mixes in search of criticism. Right now I've got a rough version of an ambient dubstep track, "Certain Frequencies," up for consideration.



Feel free to leave comments and, as always, thanks for listening.

Soundtracking


I did a couple pieces of music for the VCinema podcast, which is set to debut soon. In keeping with the theme of the show, the music is in an '80s horror soundtrack vein. Think John Carpenter, which is who I was thinking of while I was writing it, or Fabio Frizzi, whom the show's producers likened the music too.

Go here for the advance word from VCinema.

Update! The podcast is now up. Hear it here.

Deep Currents


LA-based DJ Mixmaster Noah Massey has a classic deep house mix up on his site for your listening pleasure. Although I am good friends with him, it was purely the music and the mixing that prompted my favorable review of his mix in URB magazine.

Check out the mix here.

He's got lots of other mixes up from an amazingly wide variety of styles. Well worth a look (and listen).

EMB Podcast Mix


I did an exclusive dubstep mix for the Electronic Music Bears at their request recently. It's available as a podcast or a direct download, or you can play it from the following page without downloading if you're feeling afraid of commitment.

Welcome!


Welcome to Dope Computer Music, a site for all of my Kemek-related music endeavors. Things are a little slow now but this will be the place for links to new songs, information about releases, live events (possibly, if my ringing ears are up to it) and whatever else I feel like throwing up.

Thanks for listening.
