That tune you asked me about…

Monkey Do — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 19:50:48 +0000

Right then. This is a very specific post.

Someone contacted me through this site a few months ago and asked me for a track ID in one of my mixes. I listened to the mix but I suffered some sort of mental block and couldn’t remember the name of the tune. I wrote back saying as much and that I thought the album had a green cover and as soon as the fog lifted I’d send you the name of the tune.

Well if that was you I’ve lost your e-mail address but for what it’s worth if you ever come back here the tune was Dance with the Devil by Acupuncture on the V/A Destan which does in-fact have a green cover. And it’s all manner of awesome still.

Here for the music…?

Psytrance on Wikipedia - Wikigroaning

Monkey Do — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 11:35:20 +0000

I accidentally found myself at the wikipedia page for psychedelic trance today. Considering how many people in the ’scene’ that I come across seem to be Media Studies students writing dissertations about rave culture you’d think one of them might want to do a better job than this horrendous pile of shit.

Psytrance fans = Fail. And what’s worse is you lose of Pro Wrestling fans and people who think that lightsabres are real in the “represent our scene with an interesting, informative and accurate wikipedia article”.

Will someone please go and fix it before I’m forced to wikivandalise it with my theory of the Shiva Honeymoon Curve.

Hallucinogen LSD - On Electric Guitar!

Monkey Do — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 11:16:24 +0000

It’s no secret that the psytrance scene is populated almost exclusively by ex-metal heads and we are all familiar with the guitar (psytar for the DI brigade) tracks littering the scene. Even the best examples are pretty much bollocks, and talented players such as ex-Megadeth axeman Marty Friedman can’t even turn in a decent psytrance guitar performance instead resorting to the type of retarded power chords that we thought were cool when we were in our first band at 14 and had been learning our instruments for about a week. Remember this is a world where Asher Swissa can become a guitar god so there is no hope.

Apart maybe from this chap on youtube who thought he’d have a bash at Posford’s LSD on a Jackson. Does a pretty good job.

Free mp3 trance download library

Is the credit crunch and rocketing fuel bills and cost of living eating into your tunes budget? Perhaps not if you are an off grid living (or trust funded) smelly psy-hippie, but for the rest of us it’s great to find sites like Ektoplasm with it’s huge list of free to download legal trance albums.

There is so much quality stuff on there it’s difficult to know where to begin, but I’ve had a go and you can hear the results in my latest mix exclusively on mmRadio.

Gawd bless the internet!

Mixes Galore from DJ Monkey Do and Friends

Monkey Do — Sun, 23 Mar 2008 17:21:39 +0000

As you may have noticed from the lack of updates to this site (and lack of participation in related forums if you know me from those) I’ve pretty much lost all my motivation for DJing and related activities…or at least the public and performance aspects. As a result this site is becoming a bit of a ghost town.
So as there isn’t likely to be much going on here for a while I thought I’d provide the ultimate Monkey Do (and friends) mix download archive post, as this is after all the main reason most people come to this site.

Most of these mixes have been made available in the past on one incarnation or another of monkeydo.org, but while I was doing a bit of server housekeeping I found a few long forgotten downloads which I think were only on there for the purpose of transferring them to radio stations and the like and as such haven’t been widely available for download before. Exciting eh?

Please note that although my web hosts offer an incredibly generous package which allows me to offer all these mixes in one place free of charge they may struggle with the demands if there are loads of downloads occurring at the same. If you do find that you have trouble with downloads not completing then please come back and try again later.

Oh, and one more thing. If you download and enjoy these mixes and have a burning desire to offer me something in return in the name of karma then there are 3 things you could do:

1) If you want to spread these links about please don’t direct link to the mixes, link back to this post instead. The permalink is here.

2) If you have a blog, website, newsletter, myspace page, use social bookmarking sites or have any other way of promoting websites please consider distributing a link to EarthDream.co.uk - Environmental, political and social responsibility for real people. It’s sort of a rough guide to surviving modern life without being a twat.

3) If you are looking for web hosting consider using monkeydo.org hosts Siteground using the link below:
Web hosting services by SiteGround

Of course you don’t have to feel obliged to do any of these things. If all you want to do is download the mixes and have a listen and hopefully tap a toe or 2 then that is fine too.

And now the post you have been waiting for. The MonkeyDo.org DJ Mix Download Archive.

In no particular order (right click and save as) - assume they were mixed by me unless otherwise stated:
Live at Thread Locked Hippies

Granddaddy DJ’s Tribute to Cosma

Techno Nonsense

Old School Xmas

Deeper (this one is a bit of a proggy favourite of mine)

Dreamspace

Forza

Marianas Trench

More Psychedelic (another of my personal faves)

Satans Tale

Digitally Imported Strange Tale August 2006
