7th of the month again, time for Pottz Panned – a monthly live video of one of my tracks. The purpose of putting out these videos (which have to be done on first take), is to continue to polish my live act…and, of course, to showcase my new tracks in the live format.
This month, I’ve used a track I taken a track from my April collection – Beach Ball.
As part of my Pottz Panned releases, I will soon be including a section on tips and tricks for live set-up – look out for September’s Pottz Panned (only for the tech-heads of course).
It’s that time of the month again and I have 6 new tracks for you.
Very much a tech house collection this month, meandering a bit into the house space with Sane Planing. Check out Strumpet for some grooving trumpets, or Dark Signsfor something a little…darker.
Stream them on SoundCloud or hit the download button to save for offline listening.
10 tracks hand-picked from the 10,000 Beatport June releases
Whew, the 15th of the month rolls around too quickly – time for my June monthly mix.
Still a strong techno bent to this month’s mix. Starting off with a real slow burner with Marko Furstenberg Remix of Freund Der Familie’s Monday, to really lull you into the techno mood.
Cruel World by Fabio Florido is by far my top track for this month. It just rolls along in such a cruisy groove.
To get these mixes and all my original music posts and news, send me your email to receive Pottz Postshere.
It’s the 7th of the month and that’s when I get out Pottz Panned – a monthly live video of one of my tracks. The rules (my rules) are whatever I record in the first take is what I use, no going back for multiple times to try get it perfect. So, it will be pretty gritty and real (in other words, there will be some mistakes).
This month, for the 2nd edition of Pottz Panned I’ve taken my track ‘More is Law’ from May this year, and given it the live work out. I hope you enjoy it. I have also been trialling some new iPad software – Touchable 3– very nice, but taking some getting used to.
For any live performers out there who have any questions about my set-up, please feel free to email me.
And here’s a link to my June music, just in case you missed the 1 July release.

June Monthly Tracks are out
6 new tracks for you to stream or Download
The first month end for Pottz Posts and I have 6 new tracks for you.
A mixed bag this month ranging from the techier June Bug, to a nod to one of my earlier influences with a meandering Pink Floyd style piece in Messing About with Hallucinogenics.
Just got a new iPhone 6 to shoot some better studio and live set videos. Here’s some jamming over a new track – Munch, a cruisy, jazzy number…due out end of June.
10 tracks hand-picked from the 10,000 Beatport May releases
It’s the 15th of the month so it’s time for the May monthly mix.
Some great tunes this month. Loving the warm insistent bass of Hour after Hour by Kollektiv Turmstrasse (I can still remember the 1st time I heard their music set to Fantasia 2000 video in this YouTube video – very cool).
Calling Juarez by Lutzenkirchen funks things up with some quirky trumpets. Then Red Whore by Phuture Traxx really takes it home with some driving, deep sounds – perfect running music.
What is it? Well, every month I will be doing a single-take, live recording of one my tracks and posting it up here for all. You will see the style of music that my live show comprises, complete with the little surprises that come from truly playing live – some of the surprises are good and some are…well, different.
For those who’re more from the performing rather than listening/watching side of the camp, I’m happy to get into any discussion on live set-ups, configurations, tips and ideas and will be posting some more on that later (strictly for the geeks in the class). Getting a live electronic set-up that works is like learning a whole new instrument – along with the 10,000 hours it takes to then perfect it… Pottz Panned will track that journey.
This first edition is a live take of my track ‘The Dance’ from my November ’14 collection. The original was quite tribally, but this live take gets all a little loose and jazzy…enjoy.
(PS – those are not leg warmers I am wearing, they are my very cool (warm), fur-lined Japanese boots….cold studio)
Here’s #3 in the Steve Pottz 10oo10k Monthly Mix series.
10 of the best tracks (imho), trawled from the 10,000 (or so) techno tracks released every month on Beatport.
Loving that funky bass line from Uto Karem’s ‘Informatik’, and then there’s ‘Gangsta Groove’ by Miguel Bastida. Then everything gets a little darker, ending up ‘Old School’ by 3n70 D3rr1c0 (now there’s a memorable name!?) …. enjoy the techno.
