Alva Noto On 45

When I was a teenager there was a popular series of hit records under the umbrella title of Stars on 45, where popular songs would be combined into a medley, with a common beat and tempo underneath. It was like a kind of greatest hits of a certain artist or style of music. It was a novel and playful idea, and I always wondered about following a similar approach on music I actually enjoyed. This mix exclusively features only the music of the German music producer Carsten Nicolai (), better known as Alva Noto. The mix was created entirely live using Native Instruments Traktor, Traktor Kontrol S2 and a CR-78 drum machine. What you hear is what happened in real time, and a tribute to a great artist and friend. This series of audio mixes was originally created for a popular online mix channel but they have now restricted access only to paid subscribers and felt an audience deserved to hear these mixes
