Replicated Mix: A Blade Runner Inspired Sound Session

qburns — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 20:18:49 +0000

Last night’s Replicated art show at The Falcon in Orlando was a blast. Celebrating the 30th anniversary of Blade Runner, the exhibition presented a variety of artists’ works using the iconic film as inspiration. The artwork is still there and is quite cool, so pop on by to have a peak until March 2. I supplied the soundtrack to the show, filling the first two opening hours with a session also inspired by the music, vibe, sounds, and dialogue from Blade Runner. As requested by many who were there, I’m making a recording of this session available to download. Keep in mind this isn’t your normal DJ set … this one was intended to create an appropriate atmosphere for viewing the art work. It’s quite moody and very electronic with a few unexpected moments. I hope you enjoy this! You can download both parts for a limited time by clicking HERE.

Video: Lisa Shaw + Q-BAM Live In Denver

qburns — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:23:01 +0000

At the beginning of last month I had the pleasure of DJ’ing at Bar Standard in Denver, Colorado. For a portion of my set I was accompanied by my wonderful and talented friend Lisa Shaw who performed a number of her songs while I mixed the backing tracks. A recent web search unearthed the following video documentation of this event, deftly recorded by a couple of covert dance-floor inhabitants.

Lisa and I are always up for performing at your club, event, or high school reunion (I kid). Hit me up via the contact page for more information.

Remix: Da Funk – “Need For Faith”

qburns — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 19:01:59 +0000

I’m pleased to be a part of Swiss house music label Acryl Music‘s 50th release, which is a single for Da Funk‘s fine track “Need For Faith.” I contributed a dreamy and creamy deep house remix with a bit of a nostalgic tinge within all the layers. Have a listen to my remix below:

The full single contains other remixes from the likes of Pete Moss, Si Brad, and Elmar Schubert, For full information on this release click HERE. You can purchase it now from Juno Download, Beatport, and a host of other fine digital shops.

Two Live DJ Sets From Europe

qburns — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:33:38 +0000

Last month I had the pleasure of doing four DJ dates across Europe, hitting Bucharest, Moscow, Istanbul, and Glasgow. As expected, it was great fun and all the gigs were a nice success. As a bonus, I have two DJ Set recordings from the ‘tour’ below. These are also downloadable if you’d like to take them with you on your own tour. Have a listen:

Live in Bucharest, Romania at Téte-Å-Téte – October 14, 2011 by Q-Burns Abstract Message

Live In Istanbul, Turkey at Küçük Otto – October 18, 2011 by Q-Burns Abstract Message

As you’ll hear, both sets start with the same track but then veer off in different directions. I think it’s kind of nice how different these sets are even though they are only four days apart. The Bucharest set turned out to be an hour’s dose of compact energy, while the two hour Istanbul set is sort of a steady builder, developing into some nice deep house at the end. I hope you like these.

If you’re curious, I posted some travel pics from Bucharest and Istanbul on Google+ HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Invisible Airwaves #23 – November Edition

qburns — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 16:22:54 +0000

For November’s Invisible Airwaves set, we decided to do our end-of-the-year cleaning a month early. Each month will fill our show with two hours of great new music that we’ve run across but due to time restraints, or to maintain stylistic flow, we aren’t able to fit everything in. Thus November’s set consists of tracks left over from the previous months as well as a few brand new goodies and one bonafide older “classic.” We were worried how naturally this set would flow as it’s a bit of a challenge to piece together odds and ends in a DJ set but, despite a couple sudden thematic left turns, the mix turned out kinda nice. By all means, it’s no November turkey, har har. We hope you dig it and find some new sonic discoveries of your own within. Here’s the track list:

Trap.Avoid – Little Countries – Dither Down
Deep88 feat The Huge – Italo82 (Disco Dub) – 12Records
Henri Kohn & Miss Ann-P – The Light (Larse Dub) – Conya
Kon & The Gang – Sunlight (Dub) – Hands Of Time
Brett Johnson – Love By My Side – Bang The Box
Deep Space Orchestra – Vanishing Point – Use of Weapons
Justin Simmons – I Need My DIsco Fix (Rotciv Remix) – Eighth Dimension
AM / TM – Mazelissimo! – Aniligital
C-Rock – Deep In The Green – stir15
Marc Smith feat. Kevin Knapp – Stepping Back – Chillin Music
Cyclist – Point Blank – Homebreakin Records
The Candy Dealers – Danger Zone (Ajello Remix) – Eighth Dimension
Mario Basanov feat. Miss Bee – Just Think About (Social Disco Club & Mirror People Remix) – Under the Shade
Luke Solomon – Do Something – Eclectic Avenue Records
Luke Solomon – Dub Something – Eclectic Avenue Records
DRC Music – Lingala – Warp Records
Makossa & Megablast – Wangu – Luv Lite Recordings
Iz & Diz – Unnnhhh – Classic Music Company

Gigs In Denver (with Lisa Shaw) And Salt Lake City

qburns — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 22:24:55 +0000

This weekend I’ll be risking TSA pat-downs as I travel to the middle of the country for a couple of wild and woolly DJ gigs hopefully near you. Here are the details:

November 4 – Denver, CO at Bar Standard
A special gig as it will be the first time in the Mile High City that I’m joined by one of my favorite collaborators, the lovely Ms. Lisa Shaw. She’ll be seducing the dancefloor with her voice as I further tempt with my beats. It’s a night thrown by the Full Flavor Music label, and other DJ’s joining in on hijinks are Greg Campbell (Full Flavor) and Khalib (Treehouse Collective). For more details click HERE.

November 5 – Salt Lake City, UT at W Lounge
Salt Lake City has become a regular haunt for my DJ exploits, a somewhat-yearly stop on my continuous stateside ‘tour.’ Nasty N8, who definitely knows how to throw a top party in SLC, will be hosting and helping with DJ duties, and the Big City House residents (Josh Max and Dan Dixon) will be supplying tunes as well. For more details be sure to click HERE.

Free Halloween Download: Sneaky Creeps (ft. Spooky Molder)

qburns — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 16:59:37 +0000

Just for shivers, and in time for Halloween, we’ve decided to record quite the ghoulish track for our ghostly friends. “Sneaky Creeps” was written and performed deep in the Eighth Dimension crypt and features the gruesome vocals of the mysterious Spooky Molder, who managed to join the ranks of the undead especially for this session. It’s a crunchy and hideous affair, reminiscent of a skeleton garage band but with enough bounce to to make your cobwebs shimmy. Enjoy, have a free download, and share endlessly with friends and demonic spirits alike. Happy Halloween!
