Tracklisting:

1

Love (intro)

0:01:12

Love, love, love... (sigh)

2

Karori Freestyle (LFO Mix)

0:04:43

Dropping the initial illusions of ambience, lazy finger beats drop in, accompanied by a warping bassline, noisy birds, and some subtle pads.

3

Karori Freestyle (Degrading Mix)

0:06:55

The beat fest continues, with alarm bells, a disjointed bassline, and more finger breaks. A break down at the halfway point provides a brief respite, before a loud stabbing bassline is joined by some mistimed beatboxing, and clanging delayed beats.

4

The Stereo Field

0:05:04

A wooden frog and a demented Dan team up with some simple pads to get inside your head.

5

Original (Dark Mix)

0:05:21

Getting deeper with some sort of dark techno, courtesy of undulating bassline, vocal beats, fluttering noise stabs, a thumping 4-4 beat, and a cold, cold wind.

6

Karori Killer (Original)

0:10:16

A bassline build-up drops to something ratcheting, rolling beats, a stepping bassline, and that lovely buddha machine. Then there's more beatboxing, and several playful leads are joined by instructions to 'Sample, microsample and create'.

7

Night Drive (Idle Mix)

0:02:09

While boy racers idle at the lights, heavy revolutions play out in the engine bay.

8

Valley Insanity

0:05:20

You can go a bit crazy living in Karori. That's my excuse anyway. This one has a slow bounce to its step, with delayed beats, a flutey lead, housey vocals, more vocal beats, and a maiden voyage by the dancing probe.

9

Original (Light + Dark Mix)

0:10:01

Enjoying the endorphin rush of a healthy ride home, via the scenic route: Boulcoutt, Everton, Clermont, Salamanca, The Botanic Gardens, Upland, Chaytor, Birdwood, Ponsonby, Espin.

10

Night Drive (Dubstep Mix)

0:06:59

Neon running lights leave glowworm trails as the boy racers disappear into the depths of Karori. Noisey washes, a simple break, deep basslines and some lush pitched stabs and keys.

11

Boom Boom

0:06:01

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Powerlines draped across the valley carry encoded messages while freaky bird cries compete with weird vocal drops to create a sense of foreboding.

12

Karori Killer (Silent Killer)

0:01:33

Looped ambience, deep murmers, and stripped buddha stabs create slow orchestral manoeuvres for those dark winter days.

13

Night Drive (Deep Mix)

0:07:55

The finger beats are back, with some rubbing, sonar drops, and positive affirmations, before the buddha stab (that I will never tire of) drops with one of those cheesy slow basslines that always seem to come in near the end of a mix.

14

Hummingbird

0:06:26

Outro with guitaresque loop, the wind in the trees, analogue stabs, then humming and some corny whistling. Just because I could.
