Perkowitz Music

Attar

The third “drum circle” track. There wasn’t room for this one on the 1200 Music release, but it definitely goes with the others.

Crystal Raindrops Fall

Downpour

Hard Rain Tin Roof

I Know When I Look Good (Instrumental)

I Know When I Look Good (Vocal)

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.

Mosquito

Relax (Remix)

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

Right On Target (Perkowitz Mix)

Sargeant Ridiculous (Perkowitz Truncates)

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.

Scattered Showers

Sunglasses

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.

Tickertape (Perkowitz Mix). My remix of the Codebase track, appearing on the Tickertape EP.

Turtle Love

Undescribable

Vithwan

The first of three recordings influenced by the mechanics of drum circles — dense with rhythms built from simple loops. This is the most driving of the three, and one of my favorite recordings.
