[mixamorphosis]

This one goes way back to 2006 and I think this is the first mix I recorded to a PC and not to a 90 minute tape. I only have one (maybe two) other mix(es) saved that are older than this, from around 2003/4. I'm not sure I have it digitised, though if I do, I'll upload it at some point. One of my regrets is that I did not save tapes from the mid-90's until the digital world started to take over as the new norm. I used to drag my decks around with me to friends houses, or the occasional pub where we'd take over a back room for the night and I'm sure some of those would be great fun to listen back to now.

Anyway, as I say, this mix was from around 2006, the image is also from that year and is an edit of a photo I took from my hotel room in New York. I had a bit of a thing for mashing words it seems. Chillcklectica was really a merging of Chill & Eclectic and there's not much more to it than that. I kept that approach even beyond the creation of this blog in 2009 when the name 'Mixamorphosis' came into being Mix + Metamorphosis = what has been since. I've edited the image to reflect the name of the blog just to keep the continuity, it used to be Mark Em-sea... pre-mixamorphosis days.

The mixing maybe isn't great in parts, I was using a pair of Technics 1210's and an early CDJ, I really can't remember the model or what the mixer of the time was, but I think it might have been a Behringer.

This mix was made around 2007 (I think) and was really just about trying to make use of the music in my collection and share some music that I love, which isn't all about the dancefloor, though no doubt there's a dancefloor (or dancehall) that it would work for. Some of the mixing isn't as clean as I'd like, there's a couple of glitches in the recording too and the sound quality isn't the best in parts; I toyed with the idea of not posting this, but I think I'm just going to leave it up, there's some really great tunes on here. 

Regarding the sound quality, this was fairly early days for me recording mixes using a PC and software, so I was still learning about recording levels via digital means. It was also one of the few mixes I've got from my time with the Technics SLDZ1200 CD turntables and the SHMZ mixer, both great bits of kit, really under-rated and I'm surprised that they didn't do as well as CDJ's.

The artwork has had a refresh for this mix, which as I've said in earlier posts, I'm going to do for some of the artwork I'm not so keen on. The title 'Dubble The Pleasure' and the artwork are both a nod in the direction of the reggae and dub influences that runs through this mix.

Hello! Can I request a fem, motherly s/o who is secretly a killer too? And they find out by seeing them bloody while cooking? Micheal, Jason, and Freddy Krueger? Thank you!

Sowwy now only doing two slashers per ask since coming back!🥲💕

Michael and Jason Find Out Motherly!Reader is a Killer

Michael Myers💖

Michael tried to act like your motherly ways towards him annoyed him, but it was a big fat lie. He lapped that shit up. He brushed you off like a moody teenager when you fretted over his bloody jumpsuit or when his boot prints tracked through your home. Little did you know though, his black eyes were almost soft behind his mask. You reminded him of his mummy. <3

Michael’s stomach nearly dropped when he entered your kitchen to find you covered in blood. He feared you were hurt or in shock, but the way you were humming while cooking on the stove told him you weren’t in pain…

It wasn’t your blood.

You smiled sweetly at Michael, and that was when he spotted the body in the hallway. A shiver of delight ran through him and he stormed over, making you squeal as he hoisted you up onto the counter. His large hands were all over you, rubbing the blood into your soft skin as he yanked his mask off. Your lips tasted metallic.

Jason Voorhees💖

Jason absolutely adored you. You were just as sweet as his dear mother. He could spend the entire day just laying with his head in your lap as you cooed and petted him.

He never thought for a second you could’ve been a killer. When he found you cooking his dinner while covered in blood, he had never moved so fast. Really, Jason was usually very slow! You squeaked as he sped over, grabbing your shoulders hard and looking over you for injuries.

Jason was panicking but your soothing voice slowly calmed him, your hand caressing his mask. You gently explained to him how it wasn’t your blood, and pointed out the body of a camp counsellor laying down the hall.

Okay, now you really reminded Jason of his mother. Were you her reincarnation? As freaky as the situation was, he found his strong arms wrapping tight around you in a bear hug. The bloodbath you created weirdly comforted him. You were just like mum…
