Album Alert: The Inventor’s Dilemma Remixes

The Inventor’s Dilemma remix album is live today!

Every song from my 2020 album The Inventor’s Dilemma has been turned inside-out and upside-down by some of the most talented electronic music producers the Twin Cities has to offer.

These remixes run the gamut from hip-hop to old-school techno, from atmospheric horror to tropical house, from synthwave to ambient, and beyond. It’s the whole enchilada!

You can stream or download The Inventor’s Dilemma Remixes on my Bandcamp and SoundCloud pages, and a few excerpts are available on my YouTube channel.

Special thanks to Divider Line and The Creeping Man for their stellar contributions to this project.

Happy first day of fall! 🍁

Music Alert: Jeweler’s Dive (Remastered)

Recently I had the opportunity to remaster some of my old drum & bass tracks from the mid 90s. (See the Oak St Bluesman remasters.)

Here are 4 more songs from the same era, clarified through the power of modern audio magic. Hope you enjoy!

Music Alert: Oak St Bluesman EP (Remastered)

In 1998 I had the insanely exciting opportunity to get signed to an independent record label in San Francisco. The label, Cosmic Flux Musiq, released a handful of my songs before closing up shop a few years later.

I remastered some of those old songs, starting with the Oak St Bluesman EP from 2000. Here are those remastered tracks. I hope you enjoy! (Also see the Jeweler’s Dive remasters.)

Album Alert: A Private Dakota (Split Single with Divider Line)

[Our New Way round the World. Fully illustrated.]

 

Divider Line was kind enough to remix my 2016 single A Private Investigation, and in turn I remixed his nifty new track Going to North Dakota.

The resulting split single — happily titled A Private Dakota — is unsettling enough to bring most members of Throbbing Gristle back from the dead to complain about how much they hate it LOL.
