Joseph Noctum - Pyropolis 2011: The Bad Boogie

The second in my Pyropolis series. This time instead of looking to my past I had by this point had set up a new live performance method. Instead of DJ’ing with vinyl, or USB’s as I had learned for last year. Now I was armed with a laptop, and MIDI controller to string together a DJ set with more control over the tracks, EQs, and FX than ever. While the sets were live and raw and filled with additional live chops and layered effects I would still make a studio version for release. Not the same as the live version but a pleasant memory for those who were there. This mix also includes two of my “Calculated Crunk” mash-ups I was known for during this time in my performances.

Libations & Oscillations - Professor Seaglitch's Isle of Aural Decadence

The very first Libations & Oscillations mix. This one is a special mix as it cemented my longest-running musical partnership. It started with Tonebreaker wanting my help in a remix project he was working on. It then moved to us finishing an original track he was working on. That track became “Going Baroque”. The next thing we knew we were working on a live set to play together. This first one was not played as a duo as he had a DJ reunion show in Dallas to play and I had a show on the beach for Ambient Campout to play. So separated by 550 ish miles on the opposite ends of Texas we played this set. Later we released it on the nurevolution studios podcast. This marked the beginning of the journey by Dr. Dirigible (Tonebreaker) and the Outlaw Saint (Joseph Noctum).

Joseph Noctum - Peace Love Crunk

This was the first mix I did with the nurevolution studios podcast in mind for the release. Between hanging at the local burns, and playing parties together at the legendary Pink Palace in Austin I found an influence to really lean into the breakbeats and to take it even further with the midtempo glitch that was the undercurrent of both EDM scenes and the “burner” scenes. I even finished this mix up at the nurevolution studios with Trey Turner. I was used to clean, studio-produced house tracks. The fun new world of digital meant that some of the most creative glitch tracks weren’t always mastered with more than some compression.
