Right, so having been really quiet here on the forums for some time, I figured I'd drop by and give you a bit of an update regarding what I'm doing nowadays, as well drop off two chill-out mixes of mine for download.
First off, I enrolled with the psychologist programme at Stockholm University in January of this year; Yupp, on my way to becoming a psychologist. This has, needless to say, taken up quite a bit of my time, and it wasn't really until this summer that I had time out to really sit myself down and get back into my music. Last year, I worked most of the summer, and then went off to the USA for the last two weeks of my summer vacation, where I was fortunate to spin at Spundae in L.A, as well meet up with some cool L.A. profiles such as Kristina Sky and Randy Boyer, as well bump heads with Steve Helstrip, John 00 Fleming, and Hydroid who all were in town during the same week-and-a-bit that I was there. But anyway...
As of late, I have been feeling quite inspired, and have managed to be quite productive. Some of you may remember my old track "Then Came The Rain", of which I had my Mood Concept Clip online on MySpace for quite some time; I have now near completed my Christian Rusch Club Mix (check below for clip). Furthermore, I have in my strive to put together an artist album been branching out into different types of music, pushing myself to explore as many different styles of music as possible, so as to be able to put together an album with as much diversity as possible; The goal is to create a seamless mix of tunes, that takes the listener on a journey through genres, moods, and most importantly one's (or perhaps rather my) mind. Consequence of this, I have put together a bunch of progressively oriented house and trance tunes, some with a touch of electro influences, others with more modern day techno influences, and quite a few with breaks, down-tempo, and other less easily defined influences.
Greg Murray's and my "I Believe" has for some time now been in the loop, with a new vocalist, to act a solution to Carrie Skipper no longer wanting her voice on the track for release. Remixes have more or less been finished off, but as we're still trying to sort the vocals so as to work with the track in such a way that both Greg and I, as well the label, feel content with the result, this has been a highly drawn out process.
A few months ago, I started work on a track called "Air", together with Macker (whom I'm sure needs no further introduction), which also has been my first track produced in Cubase. Much of my recent absence has been on account of having moved away from Reason in mid 2004, and thus having to re-learn producing, but also re-evaluating what it is I want to bring into my music with the, in Logic, new-found possibilities that came with VST access. During 2006 I also picked up and started teaching myself Ableton, a tool which further influenced my sound, and gave rise to a whole new world of opportunities.
So, during this past month I have put together a myriad of tunes, most of which are quite proggy in nature, ranging from "Ruschism" (which may end up being the titled track to my album) through "120" (check below for clip), "The Dance Of The Evil Prodigy" (check below for clip), to "Sunrise Over Tian'an Men" and "One Night In Beijing" (which if all goes as planned will be released as an EP in spring or early summer of 2008, to coincide with the 2008 Olympics in Beijing), as well a tune similar in style to that of some 98-00 L.S.G. works. So, it promises to be a good winter and spring for me, so if you're interested, do drop by my homepage now and then for updates, as well sign up as a user to receive information on releases, gigs etc. Mind you, the site has been up for quite some time and I have yet to send out a single newsletter, so do not worry about being spammed with a lot of bull (pardon my French).

That it was indeed. If only it were still summer here... if I look outside, I see snow. Not that I mind snow, but a) I prefer summer, and b) if there is to be winter, there must be snow, and if there is snow, there must be loads of it; sadly there isn't.
Also, wanted to pop off this link:
