Amelie Dreams

Neon Electrick Nights 06 now up on my SoundCloud and MixCloud. For my latest jam, I wanted to do something kind of specific and well, I kind of got something else. Read below for the full story.

They say you need to stay on top of the trends so I took to Spotify and listened to a whole bunch of the latest top Techno tracks. In particular, I listened to a bunch of tracks by Belgian DJ Amelie Lens.

So, decided that I would try to jam out a driving Techno track in her style. After playing around with my Novation Circuit a bit, I thought I had the tune to make it happen. So I went to recording my “Amelie Lens” inspired techno jam.

Then I listened to what I had just recorded and immediately was thinking that this doesn’t sound much like Amelie Lens. Reminds me more of Amelie the movie starring Audrey Tautou.

That famous shot of Audrey Tautou in the cinema from the movie, in particular, got stuck in my head when I listened to the track.

So, with that in mind, I decided to name this tune “Amelie Dreams” and voila! Neon Electrick Nights 06 was born.

If you’ve managed to read this whole story, I hope you will also check out the whole, now on SoundCloud and MixCloud. I’ll upload to YouTube soon.

Let me know what you think. Does it sound like Amelie Lens or remind you more of Amelie the movie?

Neon Electrick Nights 03

Neon Electrick Nights 03 featuring an acid styled techno jam from Joe Lectrick is now out on YouTube, SoundCloud, and MixCloud.

Joe connects up some of his favorite machines, his Elektron Digitakt, Novation Circuit, and Cyclone Analogic TT-303, along with a newer addition to his arsenal, the Behringer Crave. The jam is a nice 14 minutes long, for those that want just a little bit of rave in their pandemic rave cave.

Get yourself some techno jam for your Thursday Night.

Neon Electrick Nights 02

September 24, 2020

Joe Lectrick drops another techno jam with Neon Electrick Nights 02 available on YouTube, SoundCloud, and MixCloud. For this jam, Joe goes for a bit of a Wild West feel to this beat. It kind of ends up feeling like music for a spaceship chase scene from “Firefly”.

Plus this jam is notable for Joe sporting his cyberpunk goggles hat.

So get your dancing shoes, your cowboy hand, and your laser beams and shuffle to this jam.
