Il Suono Scuro IV

Just in time for Halloween, here's volume IV of the dreaded Il Suono Scuro mix series. You must be at least 4 feet tall & 18 years of age to ride this ride! Actually, Brian Blackout put it best...

"If you want some serious dark vibes while carving pumpkins or carving up backpackers, this is the DJ mix you need."

DARKLORD Presenta - Il Suono Scuro

The first of what I hope to be a series of soundtrack mixes. Being October and all, I opted to leave out a stack of my funkier records and instead concentrate on the dark and dissonant sounds of the silver screen. A few classics (Flashing, Baseball Furies Chase), a few weird unknowns (Alien Earth, One Foot In Heaven) an original and an edit help to keep things a bit more interesting than the typical Halloween-time jock jams mix. At least, I think so...

The mix is also available in a physical format, CD to be specific, with really handsome artwork designed by Megan Mitchell. If anyone is interested, please send me a message (either here or on myspace) with your address and I will mail you a copy for FREE!

Big ups to Shawn Ryan for helping me turn a pile of moldy records into a veritable, balanced mix.

Enjoy!

It's the time of the season...

It is now October 1st, which means that it is time for this year's all-soundtrack mix! Shawn Ryan and I worked closely on this one, meeting every Monday night, leaving a wasteland of Dunkin' Donuts cups & wrappers in our wake (Shawn Ryan runs on Dunkin'™).

This one has a distinctly more psyched-out vibe than the last one: you can really feel the drugs kicking in at 19 minutes...and just when you think they're wearing off, it's time for a little ride on a Huey above the jungles of Vietnam (Heading Two Seven Zee-ro).

About a mile up, Big Duke 60 switches the music on, and it's back to dancing naked in a moonlit field. Wraps up with some mysterious sleaze which is sure to leave the disco junkies asking, "Whaaa?".

Legends

"Some people just wanna clean the city up. You know, you get sick of these junkies and freaks everywhere. Skulking around, following you, grabbing your wife. But that Tom Guycot got in too deep. Sure, he rattled all the punks good for a while. But after A-Number-1, The Big Man got word of him and that chain, Tom didn't have a chance..."

Legends by Tom Guycot

DETRESFA by Tom Guycot

Fans of the Il Suono Scuro mix series, take note of these recordings. All synthesizers were performed and programmed by Tom Guycot. Produced by Peter Dragontail.

I'm A Dreamer

Robotique's Ryan T (aka Tom Guycot aka Darklord) is no stranger to eclectic yet cohesive mixes.  From the recent Robotique mixtapes to the Il Suono Scuro soundtrack series, he's known for creating dark, cosmic & sometimes humorous narratives with his records.
