You might have missed this:

As most people missed this, we thought that it is worthy of re-posting. This is a collection of X-Amount tracks that go right back to our beginnings in the 1990s as well as including some exclusive new works and sketches from the archives. I listened to it yesterday, and it's a good space to be in. There are shifts in mood and texture, shades of dark and light. Give it a go!



We have been quiet lately, both Andi and myself have been working on other projects, but we haven't given up on X-Amount, it's just hard to keep going when faced with lack of interest from a lot of people. Keep an eye on this blog.. more to come soon.

X-Amount DJ set on Mixlr & Mixcloud



The recent DJ set that we broadcast on Mixlr is now available on MixCloud.

You can also download the whole thing free here:


The set covered pretty much our whole album output so far, and was a bit of a celebration of having got a couple of labels to release some of our stuff (at long last!)as well as the beginning of an attempt to re-master most of our back catalogue. It contains a new track, a new mix and some unheard material and edits.
It was recorded on a MacBook Pro using Algoriddim's DJay software and a Korg Padkntrol.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of the mix, track by track:

1: Glue Gun: this is an edit of a recent live jam. Glue Gun will appear in it's fully finished form soon (somewhere).
2: Chamber: A brand new track. Remix possible...
3: untitled: this is a clip from our very first laptop jam in 2011.
4: Sine (version): An unheard alternative mix from the recently re-mastered "Fat Bankers" album (1996), more dub in this one than the album version.
5: Out & Out: from "Early Work" (1993-1994)
6: Planj (in & out): An edit from the original jam that created a track called "Stammerung", which appeared in one of the Nakedbeatz live performances last year (incidentally the "numbers station" recordings we have used are our own, not from the Conet Project).
7: Sonbahar (part two): from the "01 02 03 04" EP on Jehm Records.(2013)
8: Him: from "Early Work" (1993-1994)
9: Blistering: A track that should have been on the "Some Previous" album (1994-1997). It was recorded back in the early 1990s, some fierce drum samples. It will be added as a bonus track when the album eventually appears on BandCamp.
10: Flight (edit): An edit from the original jam that produced "Flight" from the "Degraded" album (2011).
11: Jump Starter (Flat Battery mix): A brand new mix of "Jump Starter" from the "Degraded" album.
12: I Told You Not To Eat That: from "Six Months Of Community Service" (2012)
13: Wire Frame Ghost: from "Six Months Of Community Service" (2012)
14: Nitpicker: a remastered version of the track from "Gits Encroaching" (2011)
15: Scraper: from the "01 02 03 04" EP (2013)
16: Chunk (in & out): an edit of an unfinished forthcoming track
17: Wax (featuring E333): recent release on Experimentalist Recordings (2013)
18: Beepatron: an edit from the original jam that produced "The Wheel Fell Off" from "Gits Encroaching" (2011)
19: Feelers: Remastered version of the track from "You Need Glasses"(2011)
20: Big (outro): edit of a jam from 2011
21: Tokyo: from the recent remaster of "Fat Bankers" (1999)
22: untitled: another edit from our first laptop jam in 2011
23: PVC: forthcoming on a Jehm Records compilation
24: Wilting intro: edit from an unfinished track (2012)
25: Tyfoon: Remastered track from the "Leakage" album (mid 1990s/2003).
26: Sleepy (outro): edit from an unfinished track (2011).

Mixlr Broadcast on Mixcloud




Many thanks to those of you that tuned in to our broadcast on Mixlr last night. It was great fun, we enjoyed the chat, we will have do that again. It was pointed out to us that this is a great medium for live performance, and we agree. Obviously, it's not like doing it in front of a crowd in a room with a big P.A., but your audience is potentially global, and you can listen in on a big loud sound system with your mates or on headphones. No expensive bar bills, or dodgy sound men (we only have ourselves to blame)..

We are already plotting the next one.

Anyhow, for those who missed it and for those who want to listen again, here it is on Mixcloud..
