CPI - dark mix 2003

Here's a special holiday gift for everyone:  I was cleaning up and found an old backup disc that had a WAV file titled "dark mix" from 2003, so here it is for you.  13 years ago I recorded this mishmash of breakbeats and experimental sounds, with dashes of noise and speedcore.

download: CPI - dark mix 2003

It's a bit overblown, it's got a bit of line noise, it's a bit rough, but it's also kind of lovely to discover something I haven't heard in over a decade.


Please note the "unlisted" tag on this post.  I have tagged the random mixes I've put up on the blog that DO NOT APPEAR on http://thetastates.com/
Also there is another technically "unlisted" mix hidden on the page  at

The chosen families series:
unofficial part 0:  Moonchild (in memoriam)
Part 1: Directions To My Special Place
Part 2: Glittering, Waiting
Part 3: Always More Than This
Part 4: Oh, Glorious Perversions
TOTAL:  7 hours of gorgeous music, all woven together.

These 5 mixes embody an aesthetic I call "dreamer beats", the evolution of which might have been obvious to anyone who follows my mp3 blog regularly.  It is more of a focus on emotional content, psychological meaning and production minutiae of the tracks than it is about the genres, which range from dubstep to witch house to idm to folk to breakbeats to dreamwave to rock to downtempo to whatever else.

Please share this far and wide, post on blogs, email out, etc etc etc.
This concludes the Chosen Families series and is the final release of 2011!  Stay tuned for "best of 2011" and the annual holiday music posts....

The chosen families series:
In retrospect, I now consider Moonchild (in memoriam) the unofficial part 0 in this series.
Part 1: Directions To My Special Place
Part 2: Glittering, Waiting
Part 3: Always More Than This
Part 4 will be epic and long, and will hopefully be out before the year is over.

Wake up Sunday, put this on, and go back to bed and make-out in the morning sunbeams.

This mix goes back to a number of classic tracks I had on vinyl, but never got around to using in a mix.

It has been 9 years since Chinchillin' first came out!  And 11 years since Poetry Is For Faeries.  I still receive the most fan messages from those two, particularly because they were traded heavily on soulseek and napster back in the day.
Well, 11 years later and we're still going strong.  Thanks for all of the kind words.

CPI - June 19th 2004, Om Festival, Canada: Sumkidz Stage

This was probably one of my favourite sets ever. Om was a big hippie rave in the woods for 5 days with many soundstages and lots of good vibes.

I player Saturday afternoon on the largest stage there. It had been cold and rainy, and just as my set started (I think around 2:30?) the sun came out from behind the clouds and suddenly it was all smiles and dancing.

CPI - No Ones Around, There's No Need To Fake It

Most of my mixes, especially back in the first 6 years, were a scrapbook for me. They were there to remind me of certain emotions and states of being.
They were mnemonic devices to guide me on certain paths, for history and for ritual.

This was my favourite period of DJing. I almost got zero gigs because I was waaaay too abstract and outsider, and liked it that way.

This mix was the shining crown jewel of that period. After this my mystique became eroded as I became "Ottawa Famous". (tongue/cheek/check)
I was so proud of how the first half is all 60 bpm. I beat per second. Come follow me on a journey...

PS: For those that asked, the title is from a Dressy Bessy song, of all absurd places.

CPI - Chinchillin'

PIFF got the most exposure due to searches and such, but this mix became undoubtedly the most popular of any I did. Ninja Tune downtempo wasn't as played-out back then, and in some cases offered a return to the beats that the "acid jazz" and "trip-hop" trends had burnt out.
I think I always kind of resented this mix because of how popular it got, and because it was one of the least challenging mixes (musically speaking) that I ever released
