I’ve always been into exploring others’ methods of creativity, those being the tricks and things one does to spark their artistic urges. In fact, when I was a teenager I helmed a photocopied punk rock fanzine called Plague On Wheels (bonus points if you know the reference) and every time I interviewed a band one of my questions would be “What are your methods of creativity?” Not very punk rock, I know, but I was really interested … and I still am.
So it’s no surprise that I really dig the blog Modyfier which basically asks that same question, and only that question, to a number of electronic music producers. The idea is that the musician contributes an original track or a DJ mix and then it is explained how this work came about. My friends Pezzner and Brett Johnson have been past participants and I’m pleased to announce that my own contribution just went live. You can read it HERE.
I chose the Balearic Version of the track “Chainsaw”, culled from my recent EP on EIGHT-TRACKS. I thought it was interesting how this version came about, as it’s almost a non-satirical parody of the original song. I talk about this and then, as an added bonus, Modyfier and I are giving the reader a free download of the song at the bottom of the post.
The label and I plan on commissioning remixes and re-edits of this version of “Chainsaw” to be released in the fall, so stay tuned. In the meantime, be sure to bookmark or add Modyfier to your RSS reader feed. It’s totally worth keeping up with for some continued insight into the creative process.
Here’s another “blast from the past” DJ mix. There are at least 3 tracks in this set that have become all time favorites. It was fun for me to hear this mix again and I hope you enjoy it as well:
Below are twenty tracks that I’m liking quite a bit and playing out in my DJ sets at the moment. Click on the song title to view the artist name and hear a preview, or click the top one and let them all stream in sequence.

Friday, June 4 (tomorrow!) Chuck Love visits ¡Club Queso! (the cheesiest club in town):
We feel the heat of the arriving summer and answer with a bit of Love. Chuck Love, that is. Towing a menagerie of sweet tunes and musical instruments Mr. Love aims to entertain the Queso crowd with his funky song-smith and electric personality. Chuck Love’s contributions to the catalogs of Om Records and his own Love Network have filled many a house DJ’s set, and his visits to central Florida have made him an Orlando favorite.
On Friday, June 4 the ¡Club Queso! conspirators plan to whisk Chuck Love down from his Minneapolis base and plop him onto the Peacock Room stage for a night of superb musical mayhem. Your friends and mine Q-Burns Abstract Message, Atnarko, and Sleazy McQueen will be on hand with supporting tunes and additional love-spreading. Love vibes, as always, will be provided by Lola B and Show Source Productions will make things sound extra lovely. We hope you’ll join us for this very special ¡Club Queso!
All of this happens Friday, June 4 at The Peacock Room located at 1321 North Mills Avenue, Orlando FL 32803. Click HERE for a map or directions. $5 cover before 11 PM, $7 cover after / 21 and up
