Uploaded second entry, "The Vampires' Waltz", to Beatport Halloween contest

I realized I had a pre-existing track I could submit to the Beatport Halloween music contest. So I added some of the Beatport-supplied sounds to "The Vampires' Waltz" and uploaded it. I think it's one of my better pieces.

Uploaded "Oh My Horror Dah Beatz Is Loose" to Beatport Halloween contest

Halloween is my most favorite musical time of the year. I love the dark, ominious sounds of a haunting soundtrack. So when I came across Beatport's Halloween Producer Challenge 2012 I couldn't resist.

I called my submission "Oh My Horror Dah Beatz Is Loose". If it's not too much trouble, maybe you can have a listen (it's about 4 minutes and 45 seconds of your time) and then, if you like it, vote for me.

Uploaded "The Vampires' Waltz" excerpt to SoundCloud

Since Halloween is about a month away, I decided to put some licensed music loops together into a little chillout dance number I titled "The Vampires' Waltz". You can listen to the excerpt on my SoundCloud account.

Entered Motion Beat "Vinid - Time Out of Mind" remix contest

I worked on a remix entry for "Vinid - Time Out of Mind" over two days for a contest sponsored by Motion Beat that closes on August 31 September 7, 2012. Extending the contest sucks as the contest opened on July 20 and with seven entries as of August 31 each of us has just over a 50% chance of winning. I suppose Motion Beat was a little worried about the quality of the submissions. I submitted my entry on August 30. Six of the seven entries were made in the last two weeks of August. Entrants are supplied with MIDI files, which were pretty sparse and all of which needed editing to remove extraneous controller events and other garbage so I could get them to work with my software synthesizers. You can listen to a preview of my entry via RemixComps.com or the widget below. I am the Trance Doctor and I thank you for listening.

Uploaded "Dark Matter Investigation Pattern Query" to SoundCloud

Imagine you are on a starship Investigating dark matter, the stuff we can't see that makes up most of the universe's mass. Are these the sounds you might hear as you listen to some of your dubstep synthed music while you pursue your "Dark Matter Investigation Pattern Query"?
