Fasttracker 2, Reason 4.0 and Ableton Live 10

This page is an effort to present some of my music productions through the years. From the early years using FastTracker 2, transitioning to Propellerheads Reason and finally to Ableton Live.

All I Get

Year 2013
Software Ableton Live

Comment
What started out as an effort to produce a swingin' 808 beat ended up as some sort of trance/hiphop fusion.

The New Phenom

Year 2013
Software Ableton Live

Comment
Rap hooks, vocoders, syntesizers and a funky beat - what more could you want? Produced in Ableton Live in 2013.

The Phaserchase

Year 2010
Software Reason

Comment
Sort of in between the demoscene sound of the 90s and the classic "Orange Theme" remix, this was the last track I made in Reason in 2010.

"Softa Trummor" (unreleased)

Year 2004
Software Reason

Comment
Produced in Reason in 2004, I put down the basic track and my buddy Ludvig improved it greatly. It was supposed to have vocals and was never released anywhere, but I still dig the hook at 2:25!

"jimpaluddejobba3" (unreleased)

Year 2002
Software Reason

Comment
An untitled and unreleased collab between myself and my buddy Ludvig, I think this track was supposed to compete at Remedy 2002 or 2003, but I guess it never did for some reason. Anyway, it was made in Reason in 2002.

Sparrows

Year 2001
Software Reason

Comment
Inspired by Airwave and the typical "Superstring" sound of the times, this track was produced in Reason in 2001.

"Oklar"

Year 2000
Software FastTracker 2

Comment
Probably the best of the Navid/Jim collabs, this poor track never got a proper name since it was deemed "unfinished". It was inspired by the Armin van Buuren remix of Vincent de Moor's "Shamu" and was made in FastTracker 2 in 2000 and edited for some light mastering in CoolEdit Pro.

A Different Time, A Different Place

Year 2000
Software FastTracker 2

Comment
Another collaboration between the melody master Navid and me, this song was produced in FastTracker 2 in 2000, with some Rebirth basslines.

Control the Sun

Year 1999
Software FastTracker 2

Comment
Collaboration between my buddy Navid and me, Navid was the expert on catchy hooks and I liked the craft of putting it all together. Made in FastTracker 2 in 1999.

Art of Living

Year 1999
Software FastTracker 2

Comment
Made by Spiritual Activity, Solna's most 1337 group in 1999 ;). I think the Rebirth 303 bassline was the best part of this track made by my buddy Ludvig and me in FastTracker 2.

Summer Feelings

Year 1999
Software FastTracker 2

Comment
The late 90s were Happy Hardcore times with Charlie Lownoise and Menthal Theo blasting in my headphones. Me and my buddy Ludvig had our group "Spiritual Activity" and this was our Happy Hardcore Anthem "Summer Feelings", produced in FastTracker 2 in 1998 I think and then edited in Cool Edit Pro in 1999!

Rave Raiser

Year 1997
Software FastTracker 2

Comment
Inspired by the rave sound of the 90s tracking scene (Dutch group Explizit was a big source of inspiration), this song blew away the competition in our little local music compo "Plastic". Today it sounds like crap, but at the time it was a hit!
