about

This is a mix produced by Carlo and I, which began in 2005 and was finished in 2006. Carlo started, sending me a section of the mix on CD, and after letting that sink in for a bit I began my section. We went back and forth sending CDs to each other in Canada and the UK over the next year and ended up with a solid and admittedly pretty insane mix! We released it on CD which was accompanied by a 7" produced by Carlo. Here are the original notes I wrote for the mix:

Thank you for listening.
We are Carlo and Buddy Peace.
Carlo is from Canada.
Buddy Peace is from the United Kingdom.
Together we are the Commonwealth Kids.

In the making of this mix we used a lot of gear, and lot happened. In many ways, we are different people now. Things have changed, and often for the better. Here is some more information with that in mind-

Carlo used:
2 x Technics turntables
Vestax PMC 05 mixer
MPC 1000
SP-1200
An eMac
VCR
A gang of records and storage media

Buddy Peace used:
MPC2000XL
Boss SP-303
Yamaha SU-10
Korg Kaos Pad 2
VCR & DVD player
Sony Dictaphone
2 x Shure M-447s
2 x Technics 1200s
Sharp Minidisc recorder
Sony Minimic
Tascam US-122
Pioneer CDJ1000Mk2
Vestax PMC-07
Dell Inspiron
Yellotone’s drum kit
Finger Cymbals
Cowbell
Inhabitants and public transport of New York and Barcelona
A mess of records and again, hella storage media

Hard drives broke, changes of accommodation were made, ideas were born, moodswings were thrown, frowns were worn, smiles were used sparingly, packages were sent, emails were banded back and forth recklessly, life decisions were made, books were read, films were viewed, records were bought/sold/found/lost, beards were grown (and cut off – Carlo, not Buddy), flights taken, handwritten noise complaints were issued, science was dropped, vocabularies were extended, love lives and emotions were tested, friends were made, seasons came and went, equipment was accumulated, heat was successfully presented and relations between the United Kingdom and Canada became stronger still. This has been a Carlo and Buddy Peace presentation. We hope you have enjoyed it. Or, we hope you do enjoy it.

You’ll be hearing from us shortly.

Be well. Take care.
With love,
Carlo & Buddy Peace

Yo... This album is pure perfection. My only regret is not discovering this back when it was released but I'm overjoyed I found it recently. Detroit ambience for nocturnal heads... Buddy Peace

The Space Between
by Drummachinemike

Drummachinemike is an absolute beast with the electronics, breathing life into machines and making them do all sorts... This album is a pure manifestation of that, and is highly recommended. Buddy Peace
