TechnoPopLove 4 // BEAUTIFUL TRIANGLE (and stuff)

johpan — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 03:34:34 +0000

Complete with self-made cover art!

Tracklist:
1 // Perfume – I still love U
2 // MEG – LIES
3 // 소녀시대 (Girls’ Generation) – 소원을 말해봐 (Genie) // Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)
4 // Perfume – edge (⊿-mix)
5 // MEG – JOKER
6 // Perfume – ワンルーム・ディスコ // One Room Disco
7 // Saori@destiny – Shangri-La
8 // Perfume – The best thing
9 // MEG – SKIN
10 // MEG – FREAK -yasutaka nakata remix-
11 // Perfume – NIGHT FLIGHT

I was actually working on TPL4 pre-⊿ but then I decided to hold off because I didn’t really have any direction in what I was doing. I actually thought of doing a MEG-A-MIX that I might just do later (TPL5?). But anyway, I won’t say much about what I think of the ⊿ tracks because I’ll be doing a review of it eventually.

Something new in this TPL would be BPM changes. I have 6 BPM changes in this mix. It starts off at 110 with I still love U and ends off at 145 with NIGHT FLIGHT. Here’s a little table of all the BPMs:

i still love u	110	played at 110bpm
lies	119.980	played at 120bpm
genie	123	played at 125bpm
edge	127	played at 125bpm
joker	127.980	played at 128bpm
one room disco	128
shangri-la	129.500	played at 132bpm
the best thing	132
skin	137.980	played at 140bpm
freak -ynremix-	140.980	played at 140bpm
night flight	145

I found it weird that all of MEGs songs had that .980 on each of them. Check it out yourself if you don’t believe me. Anyway, here’s the download link:

I had a bottle of the NOS energy drink. It’s 4AM and I’m still up.

I tried a bunch of things I haven’t really done in one mix before. I’ve got a few groovy mashup transitions and two using some fun panning techniques. I’ll let you guys hear it instead of me talk about it.

Here’s the tracklist:

capsule – Glider (RMX Version)
Perfume – Baby cruising Love
capsule – Lucky Love
Aira Mitsuki – fantasy candy
capsule – MORE! MORE! MORE!
SAWA – Stars
capsule – JUMPER
Perfume – Dream Fighter
Aira Mitsuki – SAZAE FUNKADELiC
capsule – I’m Feeling You
Suzuki Ami – Mysterious
Aira Mitsuki – China Discotica
perfume – love the world
capsule – do do pi do
MEG – HEART -party mix-
Perfume – plastic smile
Buono! – Internet Cupid
SAWA – ManyColors

Download it here!

Don’t forget to comment!

EDIT: Turns out I have a few issues with parts of this mix. I didn’t test listen to it enough before sending it out there…

1) Lucky Love -> Fantasy Candy could’ve been a bit better. Aira kinda comes out of nowhere and smacks you in the face. I’m sorry for that.

2) I wish I had a vocal cut of JUMPER so that the transition to Dream Fighter would’ve been a bit smoother. I really liked the sound of the JUMPER vocal on top of the Dream Fighter instrumental when I was mixing it and now, depending on the listening medium, it’s a toss up of whether I like it or not… Strange, no?

3) Mysterious -> China Discotica: The opening for CD is a bit loud compared to what’s going on. Should’ve lowered the volume. What’s with Aira and smacking us in the face…?

4) love the world – > Do Do Pi Do: Same problem I have with JUMPER. I wish I had a cleaner vocal. There’s too much going on in the Highs. I also wish I regulated the pitch for love the world but I ran out of RAM and FLStudio told me I couldn’t do anymore. *wah*

5) Internet Cupid & ManyColors: Two more songs I wish I pitch regulated. Sigh.

Other than that… enjoy!

TechnoPopLove 2 – tough love

johpan — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 18:20:40 +0000

Here’s round two with a slightly modified line up. The first one was an experiment of sorts to see if I can actually make a listenable mixtape. Now that I know that I can, I’ve added a little bit of a theme: tough love. Originally, I named this playlist “aggressive technopop” but Secret Secret isn’t all that aggressive or tough for that matter… ah well. I tried to mix all of the harder and edgier technopop tracks from artists I enjoy listening to. Anyway, tracklist and download links after the jump!

Perfume – Secret Secret
Aira Mitsuki – GALAXY BOY
Suzuki Ami – FREE FREE
Perfume – edge
MEG – MODEL
Genki Rockets – Star Line
capsule – FLASHBACK
Suzuki Ami – ONE
Perfume – GAME
capsule – REALiTy
MEG – PRISM BOY

TechnoPopLove 2 : tough love

As always, comments very much appreciated! Also, if I’ve missed any good technopop that should’ve been in here, let me know! I’m always interested in incorporating new acts into the mix. <3

Here’s something I’ve been planning to do for a LONG time now but I originally wanted to do it live using Traktor and record it all in one take, it’s just I’m not all that great at using it. I took a different route and tried doing it in FLStudio and just played with all their waveforms. It turned out to be a lot easier than expected. I bumped into a few roadblocks but nothing I couldn’t hurdle over. Don’t mind a few of the dodgy transitions and me forgetting to lock the pitch on some of the songs but oh well. I’ll remember to do it for the 2nd one I release… if that ever happens. Anyway, here’s the tracklist:

Perfume – love the world
capsule – Get Down
capsule – FLASH BACK
Suzuki Ami meets Nakata Yasutaka – FREE FREE
Aira Mitsuki – China Discotica
Perfume – Perfect Star Perfect Style
MEG – ROMANTIKA
Leah Dizon – Koi Shiyou ~yasutaka nakata-capsule mix~
Perfume – Secret Secret
capsule – dreamin dreamin
MEG – OK
m-flo loves MINMI – Lotta Love -yasutaka nakata capsule mix-
Perfume – Baby cruising love
capsule – Secret Paradise
Perfume – Take me Take me
capsule – I’m feeling you

Running Time – 30:03
