Base Class - Lime (the Quirky touch remix) Base Class - Lime (the Quirky touch remix)
Remix for Base Class. I wanted to keep it housey, but add some modern touches and make it a little more techy.
Who Knows Who Knows
Tech house essentially, gets a bit prog house towards the end. Not really a peak time track, it's more 4 in the morning listening but still energetic enough to get your head nodding. Edited version here. Full length DJ-friendly version is 9:17min
Upbeat Upbeat
Tech-house track for the dancefloor. No lyrics or vocals samples - just chugging beats and basslines and flying synths steadily working towards a big finale.

Quirky is a name I thought I'd use to record some tunes under.Band/artist history
Started producing in December 2005 - just giving it a tilt, like. Natural progression from DJ'ing.
It's mid-2007 now and I've still got a lot to learn!Have you performed in front of an audience?Not any more. Was a resident club DJ and did some guest spots at dance parties and raves when it was all kicking off during the late 80's/early 90's. Could be tempted into DJ'ing again.
Your musical influences
I'm completely dependent on upfront, underground house and techno! I like it a bit twisted/acidey, deep, dirty and druggy. 4/4 is my favourite beat, travelling around the 128-132 bpm mark, with some kind of musical element - not just banging beats and noises.
I rarely like anything in pop charts - I find it all too cheesy.
Influences?
80's synth pop - all those one-hit wonder, new-romantic era songs!
Jean-Michele Jarre
New Order
Orbital
Leftfield
The 'Guerilla Records' label / William Orbit
John Digweed (DJ)What equipment do you use?
Cakewalk Kinetic, VST's, Alesis M1 Active Mk2 monitors, Sennheiser phones, Behringer mixer.
Not much but it'll do - for now.Anything else?
House music all night long!Contact

Hi there Quirky!
Another delightful track from the Dave-meister!
I listened to the whole thing.... like it alot.... especially the arp synth at around 3:51.... cool stuff! This had your signature sound my friend... I enjoyed it very much.
Peace,

By the way, did you ever get Project 5?
Came back for another whirl on the Upbeat twirl.
Quirky,
Just to let you know I have eight new tracks up on my page guaranteed to make you smile for a while....so what have you been up to??? What have you been working on lately??? I hope to hear from you.

Hi mate. Can't remember the last time i enjoyed a really minimal track like this but i love this one!
Gave you 5 stars because this is a sound i don't normally appreciate so nice work.
To answer your question, i've tried to make most types of music, even orchestral, but no, i never tried tech house. Might give it a go one day.
