here's a tune that came out sounding kinda chicago acid house-y... check it on soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/wajd/too-late-to-choose

more tunes with vocals also on myspace under my own name http://myspace.com/chrispdeon

thanks for listening,

have been sleeping on his tunes for a minute but i am digging it hard !! real vibez

very very very nice. the drop around 1:50 is tasteful and excellent

"swine flu" is glorious... silky, rough and deep at the same time

i'm real sorry, once again this one doesn't really belong under the house/funky umbrella but it doesn't belong in the dubstep section either. i started off trying to make a pop song with a dancehall vibe, but it ended up on kind of an autonomic tip... will probably put some vocals put on top but her...

thx for listening... been wanting to make an old-style vocal house track for ages now. maybe someday i'll get a real singer to put vocals on it

the good thing about underground uk rave music (and other scenes like techno, house, dancehall etc) is that it's completely self-sufficient in the way music is distributed, and the rave/soundsystem culture not only survived the advent of internet piracy but actually flourished because of the way the...
