As I promised previously I’m starting to add the B-sides from The Vibe Electric to the Download page. And here’s the first one a scratchy sliced track called SAS (no reference to the stealthy badasses, honestly). Hope you Enjoy!
Love and Peace

PS All of these B-sides are completely free (and released under creative commons) except if you want to use them commercially, in which case contact me
Yes the day has finally arrived. A week before it goes on general release, you can hear my debut album – The Vibe Electric right here on dataphilesmusic.com. Also as promised, you can download a free standard quality version for a limited period, so be quick.
The free stream will be on the download page forever though … because everyone deserves music
Love and Peace

I’ve added a brand new track to the download page. Hard, fast and fun… prepare to Basch 🙂
You may have noticed that all of the other tracks have disappeared, they’ll be rereleased as part of ‘The Vibe Electric’ next week. And remember, if you check back on monday you can get a prelease copy for free.
Hope you enjoy

I’ve added Answer me to the download page. It’s upbeat with rock drums, reverbed arps and (shockingly for a Dataphiles track) a vaguely comprehensible vocal line. Click above to give it a listen and check back here later for its accompanying video.

I’ve made a new Reaktor noise box, using sine bank and noise oscillators, granular resynthesis and filters. It also has a crazy trippy skin. Sounds roughly like HAL with a really bad virus… so great for adding some bizzare bits of noise or pseudomelody to tracks.
If you want to grab it head over to the Reaktor user library or to KVR

If you use thesixtyone or Stereofame you may have already heard Drillbit. If you haven’t its a glitchy, flowing electronica track with a bunch of chopping and Reaktor sound. In fact, why not just click below and listen
Head over to the Download page to get your free copy (or paid copy if you want a lovely high quality version) and let me know what you think.
In partially related news, I think I have enough tracks to put together a decent album (one of my projects for the last few months) so I’m going to start putting things together, aiming to release in 2-3 months time so watch this space for more news.

I’ve used Battery for quite a while as my standard go to drum sampler. I only realised quite recently that I was only using a fraction of its power, it has amazing sound design, modulation and sampling features.
I decided to make myself a drum kit so that I could fully explore its features as well as filling in some percussion sounds I felt were missing from my collection. After a bit of experimentation, out came Genki kit. Now I have put it on KVR for all to enjoy
All of the drums were made using raw sample material from Gen-Rate (my crazy Reaktor noisebox) and processed using Battery. The end result is a glitchy kit with a variety of different techy fx sounds.
I also uploaded Darqdelay to KVR, in case you don’t have access to the NI library.

I just loaded a new effect ensemble ensemble to the Reaktor user library . Don’t let its calming blue appearance fool you, its a dirty one – basically made for destroying the input sound and turning it into crusty rhythms or odd soundscapes
All good fun then

I’ve decided to upload my Reaktor back catalogue to kvr, (invader, phazmatic, gen-rate, stepnik and binary) so now you don’t need access to the native instruments user library to play around with Dataphiles synths.
Also, as if you needed a reason to love Reaktor I was looking on the download page for gen-rate, which already contained a pretty surreal series of posts, and someone has added this gem:
“There was a strange spaceship in my back yard. The door was open so I hopped in for a fly, a bunch of seemingly random controls crashed my through the neighbors fence before taking me to a really wet planet. I had to battle marsh blobs before jumping into hyper splodge.
Suddenly I woke up with a start realising I had gone to bed straight after a large dose of LSD and had dreamed I’d fallen into a Reaktor!!!
Thanks I love it, now I don’t have to record the bath tub :-)”
Hugo Peterson – you are officially awesome

I’ve just added two new tracks to the download page. A boshy rave track (Analyse) and a funky house number (Acoustic Meltdown).
As always you can download either a free (128 MP3) version or a paid copy in the high quality format of your choice.
Love and Peace
