SYNTAX ERA

in celebration of a new weekly party called SYNTAX ERA here is a collection of music for those who appreciate the finer side of what the 1980s had to offer musically. enough remixes, b-sides, dubs, extended club mixes and long lost album cuts (with just a sprinkling of hits) to fill up a 90 minute cassette. clean your heads and get ready for the SYNTAX ERA.

original soundtracks

A Gringo Like Ennio

as a huge fan of Ennio Morricone I wanted to do a mix of his works, but where to start? the man has over 500 soundtracks under his belt that range the full gamut of film genres! i decided to present a luving mix of his famous spaghetti western scores. enjoy the inventive orchestrations, complex arrangements and often times bizarre instrumentation that have helped make some all time classics.
