Released on Ellie Herring’s “Reattraction“, for Race Car.
The label’s blurb about this one:
schädel (known to some as DJ Empirical) from Cincinnati, OH concocts a hypnotic look at ‘Hunter’s Dreamboat.’ A slow burner, complete with devilish ambiance and synths that hold you captive. The depths lead with the heart and fall to the floor.
Release Date: Apr 03, 2012 Artwork: Dustin Bowen & Evan Scott Sharfe Catalog #: RCP 035 Mastering: Kevin Frey

Lexington musician Ellie Herring organized a compilation of electronic music entitled Sorghum, to which I donated the above track. All proceeds from its purchase will be donated to the Mid-East Kentucky Chapter American Red Cross to aid the tornado victims of West Liberty, KY.
It features some excellent music, and has a minimum of $4 to purchase. Click through to check out the other songs.
I’ve been doing a lot of production in the last couple months, mostly under my resurrected alias schädel. Above you can hear a preview of* one of the songs I produced recently, which is as yet untitled.
I have a good amount of material mostly complete, which I hope to release this year.
* I decided to just make the whole thing available. Why not?
This was my winning entry for a remix contest to appear in the soundtrack of the locally made, crowd-sourced short film, Radius.
If you’d like, you can check out the original version of the song, and watch Radiusin full, as well as a making-of documentary in which my remix also appears.
So, here we are: we’ve arrived at the release date of the full-length debut from Adam WarRock, entitled The War for Infinity, which also means it’s the release date of my latest dj mix. As I mentioned last week, it’s a mixtape available exclusively as a free bonus download with the purchase of the deluxe version of TWFI.
Here’s the tracklist of the mix, including most, if not all, of the little samples here and there. I threw in a couple drum loops from some producer sample-type discs as well. And just because I’m a bit obsessive, I’ve added a link for most of the tunes, so you can hear them out of context.

Also included with the deluxe version of TWFI is the above mix cut up and arranged as separate Adam WarRock remixes/blends/mashups/whatever. It’s available on its own as well, but it’s free with the album purchase.
Forthcoming (next week, to be exact) is an album by Adam WarRock, produced by Ruckus Roboticus, entitled The War for Infinity. I mention this here because one of the bonus downloads you’ll get with the deluxe version of the album is a mixtape, put together by me, using a number of Adam WarRock TrackLoga cappella tracks, mixed with a healthy dose of eclectic tunes from a wide variety of artists, from Radiohead to Otto von Schirach. As a preview of that mixtape, we’ve selected the above tune, “No Album (DJ Empirical remix)”, pulled it out, and arranged it as a standalone track.
As a dj, I’ve always appreciated “unmixed” releases of large scale dj sets, so I thought standalone edits would be a cool thing for use in radio shows and by other djs. The full mix, and a set of dj-friendly edits like this one, will be available as a free bonus to the album on October 7th. Check out Adam WarRock’s site for all the details on what you’ll get with the full release.
