jet jaguar tunes

Barberpole Rhythm. A stand-alone tune from 2009. Slowing down and speeding up at the same time? Written for a Malty Media radio show on the theme of "time". A revised version is on my free EP, My Life In The Bush Out The Back Of My Place .
Red. This is one of 5 tracks released in 2008 on a totally free EP. Was thinking about dancehall at the time, but it's a bit more demented than that.
Enjoy Mask Aesthetic. This is one of 5 tracks released in 2008 on a totally free EP. Name comes from a t-shirt I saw in Tokyo.
Kent's Windchime Recording. This is one of 5 tracks released in 2008 on a totally free EP. Basically all sounds are from a recording of windchimes made by a guy called Kent Williams. Not sure how I thought of the name.
Awry Smile. A track from early 2005, exclusive to the site. The beats and bass are a pretty huge nod to the late Jay Dee, RIP. At the time I wrote it I was listening to Tribe's 'The Love Movement' heaps.
Mobile. The first track I completed in 2004, exclusive to the site. Damn similar vein to the 'Think About It Later' material.
Juicy from 'Think About It Later'.
Hepburn Springs from 'Think About It Later'.
News from 'Jet Jaguar Is Love'.
There's A Choice We're Making from 'Jet Jaguar Is Love'.
Invercargill from the first album.
Errol from the first album.
Seeper from the 'Skankatronics' compilation, 1996.

Red. 28.3mb QuickTime. Directed by Ned Wenclock, this video got 16th place in the Handle the Jandle video competition in 2009 - i.e. one off being shortlisted. The song appears on 'Biddy Bids'.

Now Serving. 17.3mb QuickTime. Directed by Glen Atkins, this video got 3rd place in the Handle the Jandle video competition in 2001. Glen also won the price for best editing. The song appears on 'Jet Jaguar is Love'.

All The Little Insects (Jet Jaguar Remix) - Fireworks Night. From 2007. Fireworks Night is a kinda folky British band. I think of their sound as kinda creepy carnival vibes. The original of this was released by Kartel.
Fault Lines (Jet Jaguar Remix) feat. Paul McLaney - Module. From 2006. Module is a Wellington-based producer, Paul McLaney an Auckland-based singer and guitarist. Reminds me a bit of Mark Hollis. Nom nom nom.
I've made a separate page for four exclusive remixes of The Phoenix Foundation I did in 2004.
Just Like You (Jet Jaguar remix) - TrinityRoots. RIP TrinityRoots, a New Zealand band with a very loyal fanbase back home. This remix is from 2002 and is exclusive to the site.
In Camera (Jet Jaguar's Exit Interview mix) - Group Five. Kind of Krush-sounding remix of a Wellington producer with a thing for shifting beats and Japanese composers. This remix is from 2002 and is on his jolly good EP, 'In Camera'.
Live V7 (Jet Jaguar's Sad & Beautiful World remix) - Aspen. My mix of a track by my better half in Patio. This remix was done in early 2000 and is exclusive to the site.
