You can now stream the Adequate Remixes EP via awkward's soundcloud page.  To hear the tracks in all their full, non-compressed glory, you can still grab the limited edition, handmade double-CDr release of the remix EP + the original Adequate EP from awkward's website.  Plus, you'll get 2 extra mp3 remixes when you buy the record, so it's a pretty sweet deal.  Better get on it.

A lot of people made it known that they loved the last mix posted by DJ Fred McGriff - better known as Beak - so we thought we'd share another. This one's called "Goodbye 1833" and it's a more downtempo groover, perfect for a beautiful sunny spring day or perhaps the rainy day right after a beautiful sunny spring day. Stream in the player below or download at the link and enjoy!

Beak
Denver, CO
Electronic/IDM/Guitar

--------

If you were groovin' to "The Takeshi Mix" by DJ Fred McGriff posted last week you may be interested to learn a bit more about the man behind the mix. His given name is Chris Yunt and he's been producing guitar-centric IDM as Beak since 2003.

Now, when I say "guitar-centric IDM" I'm pretty sure you must be thinking this is some hippy/folky/Sound Tribe Sector 9/hipster bullshit, BUT YOU'RE WRONG! This dude rocks the guitar the way Aphex rocks a synthesizer - the way Squarepusher rocks a bass - the way BT rocks a snare roll - the way T-Pain rocks the autotune...that is to say that he uses it A LOT on just about every fucking track and manages to make it sound fucking awesome every time.

Beak has a few brilliant EPs under his belt on the net-label Monotonik (downloadable for free from that link) as well as some solid releases by other artists on his own Futonic imprint. Check out these 2 tracks, "Buggy Ride" and "I Saw Two Of Me" to get a feel for his unique style and definitely check out his back catalog as well - good stuff!

Gravity Halo Sampler by Beak

Alright people, it's Friday and that means in a matter of hours shit will start poppin' off for the weekend - hell, maybe it already has depending on where you live or how much of a fucking slacker you are, but regardless you're probably gonna need some tunes to accompany your immanent forays into debauchery. That's where DJ Fred McGriff comes in!

Also known by his production alias Beak, this Denver-dwelling digital disk devastator (you like that alliteration don't you? right off the top) put together this great mix of classic IDM and Drum n' Bass that is an absolute barn burner.

The set features the music of Aphex Twin, Autechre, Plug, Wisp, Orbital, Photek, Chris Clark and a bunch more and guess what? It's tits! The dog's bollocks! The bizness! "Da Bomb", even!
