A house track from 1999 remixed a little in line with my 2011 sensibilities.

More beat-heavy remix of the Rachel Stevens song, highlighting the trademark distorted 808.

Remix of the great Rachel Stevens song.

The lyrics were inspired by an especially poetic spam email, and I’m not quite sure what it became.

Had to give this song another remix, featuring the killer 808 loop from Stephen Morris’s Retrofit remix front and center.

Remix of one of Section 25′s best-known (and most-sampled) tracks. I combined a couple of the original mixes with some great grooves from Stephen Morris’s recent remix.

Another Section 25 remix, this one (mostly) removing vocals I didn’t like and focusing on a nice groove.

I took two minute-long tracks from Section 25′s album “Nature + Degree” and spun them out into this.

This song combines three rare things for me: vocals I sang, lyrics I wrote, and layered melodies with pop-song structure. The basic song came together fairly quickly, but it took a while to finish the writing and get all the vocals recorded.

A remix of the Hall & Oates classic. I had forgotten what a great groove it had at the beginning until I heard it at a wedding recently. So I had to extend out that groove and then do some chopping and filtering on the rest.

A vocal song with lyrics and arrangement inspired by early New Order (working off of one of my favorite Sumner lines ever, “here I am in a house full of doors and no exits”). One of few songs I’ve ever written original lyrics for. Also by far the shortest song I’ve ever recorded, at a radio-friendly 3:32.

A long jam on 909, 808, 727, rx5, 303, x0xb0x, ea1, and some fx. It’s nice to completely cut loose from the computer sometimes. This could probably use an edit down to 6-8 minutes but here it is in raw epic form.

A remix of the classic Cajmere track from 1992. This should be my theme song.

Another minimal old-fashioned track: 909 and 303s and not much else.

A slowly-changing old-school jam: 303, 808, 909, 727, and a key loop from a Hammond Auto-Vari 64.

An old-timey number, featuring several layers of 303 with some 808 and 909.

A remix of the Chaircrusher song. I basically took his complex, evolving sounds and cut them down to simple tech-house loops (hence “truncates”) and then grooved it out for eight minutes. That’s the Perkowitz way.

A slow, creepy remix of the Ella Fitzgerald original. I intended it to go with the “Fourth Trimester” music, but we decided it’s too creepy to soothe infants.

A remix of the Don Henley song, just spooling out the opening groove that’s so good.

A mix of somewhat soothing sounds for baby Nora, using some of the songs sampled in her Fourth Trimester collection.

The first of my “songs for the fourth trimester”, intended to help soothe our infant daughter to sleep. This one is still my favorite, especially with the lurking sample from one of my favorite songs; maybe after falling asleep to it so often, she’ll grow up loving New Order as well.

A remix of a Raymond Scott track off of “Manhattan Research, Inc”.

Inspired by a scene in Hellboy 2.

A cover of New Order’s “Blue Monday”.

A cover of the Kraftwerk song, with John Felthous. Originally arranged for RUR.

An 808 and a nord micromodular.

Inspired by Patrick Cowley’s “Right on Target” and its use of the cowbell. Should have a vocal part other than the robotish vocal sound, but I never wrote or recorded one.

Supposed to be a song about a intelligent machine and its angst about its existence, but I never wrote or recorded vocals.

I originally recorded this as an instrumental in 2001, but when I started working with John Felthous and RUR, I asked him to come up with vocals for it. I’m not sure what his lyrics are actually about, but they always get stuck in my head.

Inspired by Kraftwerk’s use of short ringing delays on “Tour de France Soundtracks”, especially in “Vitamin”.

A heavily processed remix of Blue Monday.

A cover of Blue Monday.

Not really a remix of “Sunglasses at Night”, but a heavy borrowing. My goal was a to create a track with a nice groove that would seem vaguely familiar when played out but then become really familiar as the track went on.

A gentle remix of Blue Monday — extending out the intro and some other grooves for mixing, a little rearranging, a couple of transitions.
