In my opinion, the most audible influence upon Shirkey's oeuvre is
that of Dunning & Kruger.

Hi,
I have uploaded a new mix I have done last night and this morning inspired
by Halloween weekend 2010 in Sydney, Australia and in particular Stacey
Pullen's excellent set. If you listen closely you may hear the influence.
It's a long player - 808 MB - 65mins - flac, 48Khz, stereo
http://djcj.org/audio/kotau/Abundance-Ambient-Psy-Trance-DJ_Kotau_Session_2…
Recorded on a quad core Intel 3Ghz, 8GB RAM, Fedora 12, using ardour3 for
multitracking, AMS for the pulsating bassline and Hydrogen for the drum
sequencing.
Designed to be played loud and immersively, and preferably with a large
blast of dopamines to the brain.
I think it could be enhanced with a seriously funky bassline. If anyone
wants to take a stab at it, that would be cool wid me. It's definitely in
there just about bursting to get out.
Cheers.

Hi Patrick.
In the spirit of bad press is better than no press, here's my feedback:
I put the song on and after a while felt an urge to sing. Given my less
than stellar reputation as singer I'm not sure whether it's a good sign.
Then I went grocery shopping, came back, and it felt like I hadn't
missed anything.
In other, more blunt and direct words, even highly repetitive is a
misnomer. To my ears it's just boring, unmusical and annoying.
Who am I to criticize? Anything I've done is hardly any better, but I
know that the music I am able to and like to create is not the kind of
music people would want to listen to, myself included. This is not
supposed to discourage you, it's just another point of view.
Regards,
Philipp
