Losing Track Of Time (Edward & Hidden Persuaders)
Long overdue new mix with Hidden Persuaders. This time we’re going on a journey through space and time with the help of some smooth electronica, ambience, and cosmic house. Plus the usual array of mash-ups and movies.

Remoto still available for your aged smartphone
Years ago, I built and sold a Windows Mobile smartphone app for controlling iTunes over bluetooth - to coincide with the launch of the airport express remote speakers. It was kinda like the “Remote” app for iPhone just optimised for a tiny screen and dialpad controls.
I guess the world wasn’t ready for it, but I got a lot of use out of the thing.
Anyway, turns out it’s...

It's Not That Important
A relaxed, atmospheric affair with a few more upbeat sections thrown in. Sleepy, romantic, melancholy and silly. Good for the morning after.

Watch With Edward (A Video Mix)
My video mix: a lovingly crafted blend of electro-pop and classic tv and film mash-ups. As shown at Robots Need Toys in July. It’s all interspersed with clips, video mixes and bad jokes that appeal to me. Kind of a compendium of things I treasure.

Edward Plays Pop (70 Minutes of Gladness)
More vintage mixing…
Dance-pop, Rave and Bootlegs. One to chuck on the stereo at parties. Includes some of my own bootys (Beyonce vs Pizzicato 5, Homer Simpson vs Herb Alpert vs Busta Rhymes).
The last section is comprised of my favourite songs from a time when the charts were full of mediocre people taking themselves too seriously (Oasis, Weller etc) and dismissing anything...

My Homies and Me
Another mix from the archive (2003 ish I think). I guess that makes them middle-school breaks by now…
Breakbeats (new and old skool, fast and slow), TV themes, and lots of messing about.

The New Shoe
Comfortable Shoe is the home for my projects and other non-professional bits and pieces. The last 5 years of Blosxom was fun but I’m now giving tumblr a go. I’ll start off by re-posting some stuff from the old site.

Creating bootable USB sticks for OS install in...
For one reason and another, I’ve been doing a lot of clean OS installs recently. This entailed writing disk images to bootable USB drives from my Windows 7 machine with a motley crew of different tools. Before I forget it all, here’s a summary of which tools worked for each OS.
