Flexstyle

Oh whut? 0.o Well mine actually has a story to go with it, so there! Thanks for your kind comments so far, y'all!

"sounds like a crappy Soundblaster" Hmm?

Glad y'all are digging it!

Bump for the weekday crowd? C'mon, you know you want some more free music!

Greetings, Overclocked Remix-Heads! I'd just like to point you over to a brand-spankin'-new album I just released, entitled Eye of the Storm. If you head over to my Bandcamp.com page or simply click on that picture above, you'll be able to obtain it for whatever price you wish to pay. The publicity junk: Eye of the Storm chronicles--in audible and written form--the journey of a brave group of travelers through a mighty tempest. This is the fourth album from Glendale, AZ-based solo electronic artist Flexstyle, featuring a collaboration with up-and-coming Boulder, CO-based house musician (and OC ReMixer) Hollidayrain and a spectacular remix by Norman, OK-based electro producer (also an OC ReMixer) PrototypeRaptor, winner of the Weeping Clouds remix competition. Included as bonus tracks (in the album download) are contest runners-up Moar and The Loopkitchen with their excellent Weeping Clouds remixes, along with a Flexstyle remix of Danish trance producer Airdrift's song "Phoenix," the original of which is available from Dangerbox Recordings. Please download, share with your friends, and enjoy!

I try to be flexible in the styles I create, musically, hence "Flexstyle."

Is it just me, or has the bar for electronica at OCR just been RAISED SKY HIGH? It's about freaking time someone did that! Killer work--one of the most cohesive and punchy mixes, especially electronic, I've heard in a while here. While I'm unfamiliar with the source (I know, I'm a horrible person), this is a completely face-meltingly-awesome mix. Kudos. Plus, it's reminiscent of some of my favorite artists, namely Skrillex and Noisia.

FWIW, I know SGX has done this sort of thing (releasing free tracks thru iTunes podcasting) with his Protagonist Records site. I think he just uses Wordpress with a podcasting plugin alongside Feedburner to track downloads.

Image-Line Harmless and Toxic Biohazard, Wusik.com Wusikstation, and Cakewalk z3ta+. Harmless: Super-phat sounds are really easy to make. Great for deep basses, screaming leads, and those wobblin' dubstep sounds. Toxic Biohazard: Tons of power under the hood. I'm very familiar with it, so I can make nearly any sound I want. Tends to be a bit CPU-hungry, though. Actually, that kinda applies to all my favorite synths.... Wusikstation: I realize this beast has more to it than just the presets, but I have yet to need anything but a quick look through the many banks available to my Wusik.com subscriber's account to find an utterly usable sound. z3ta+: Super-powerful. Older technology, but still one of the most versatile synths ever made. I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention 4Front TruePianos and Garritan Personal Orchestra, my two favorite "real instrument" plugins.

Phoenix, AZ, here, and the reason I love Bandcamp so much is because I can get ALAC files, which is what the rest of my library is in.

I would buy the album if it were released for $5 or less on Bandcamp (that's all I can afford at this point). Just sayin'. Loved the one track I heard on BC.

Yeah, taking a trip to Frys Electronics once I wake up in about 7-8 hours or so. I've got about $600 to spend, so I should be able to find something good.

So....my computer crashed on me. Hopefully I didn't lose much, cos I supposedly had backups going, but I'm not entirely sure how recent the latest one was. I'm out one hard drive and one video card, and I think I'm going to just end up doing a complete system rebuild. The upshot of all that is that I may be a little later completing my tracks than I thought.

Huzzah, it's been released! I'm listening as I type, and there's some fantastic stuff here. Congrats to the Space Whale crew for getting this whole project done and to Andrew for an amazing soundtrack!

I can't access the #ocremix channel at school. Put me down as endorsing a server switch.

http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/ageofempiresiii/ At a price like that, how could you say no?

I'll probably do a lot of work on our track over Thanksgiving break...the only possible time I have right now, haha.

One month 'til the deadline!

W00t for Siamey!

I'll have some awesomesauce ready in a few weeks, I think. Gotta focus on my Wild ARMs mixes for a week or so. >.>

No restrictions on style. I'll even accept a polka-metal cover, haha. I do call myself Flexstyle after all!

Another bump--admins, if this is seen, would you be willing to move it to Community?

My two WIPs for this project are at about 40% and 10%, respectively. I'll improve those figures before the deadline and make sure I submit something worthwhile.

Pretty sure you'll be pleased with the overall quality of the tracks, dude.
