Foot Up Yo Ass (and others) made me lol. And wiggle a bit. Seriously, as others have said, either completely bonkers / awful, or utterly brilliant. I love it :)

I'd play this sort of stuff at a gig either early (8pm ish) to get the party started or really late (6am) when people are munted...sorted! :D

Some really good tunes / tracks on there. Are the drum loops ones you've programmed? Some really good beats (especially the one I'm listening to right now, don't know the track as it's on soundcloud but about 30 mins in.) So yeah, some really enjoyable stuff there. I'd be properly chuffed if I could do anything even half as good.

ETA, the track with the drums I'm really liking is "Don't Go Into A Trance Lads". Yup. I'm liking this one a lot.

There are a few perc loops in there I've nicked TBH. That track has some clippy-cloppy wood block bits near the start (which I think are mixed a bit high now) and some overheads I got from DEADMAU5 sample pack but 80% of the drums hand done and all of the synth parts. That bass riff counterparting a chattery 303 is the stuff I love on that one :D

I quite like that track too, there's fuck all to it but structure's pretty good :)

Sounds ever better on my Bowers and Wilkins headphones. (And putting my money where your sounds are, don't let your new found wealth change you. :lol: )

For some inexplicable reason, all the "related tracks" on this one were Muslim calls to prayer.

I left this one playing while I did some coding and, suddenly, some bloke was signing the bloody Qu'ran at me. Hit "fast forward" and it was another one. The whole list of "related tracks" were in Arabic.

And it's a Sunday. Like, if it were a Friday then perhaps you could understand that Muslims might like to fire up a call to prayer on the Internet to get themselves in the mood for mosque or whatever, and that's biasing the "related tracks" algorithms.

But Sunday's the wrong day for that. That's Christian, not Muslim (well, save for them Seventh Day Adventists and such, of course).

What the bloody hell is that all about, eh?

Have you gone viral in Iran or something?
