Lastly, I am working on some PCB designs to follow the Resonant Lopass Gate project. I have several ideas, but more to come on that later once they move more towards reality and away from crazy ideas in my head. Thanks for stopping by!

Fixed: Bad links to the Swimming Upstream Mix and the Live in Portland DJ Mixes
May 10th, 2009 - I wish I could say updates have been more frequent, but I can't. The good news is we are trucking along with things. Pete is working on remixes and slaving for the man. I am working on remixes, video games, pcb's, guitar pedals, losing my mind for coporate America and trying not to go crazy doing it all at once.
On the site update today:
I have added a Live In Portland Mix from a trip in Feb of this year. Thanks to Forrest, Josh and the crew for the great times!!!!! Check it on the djmixes page.
I have also added store area where I will be selling printed circuit boards (PCBs) for my Synth_DIY projects and possibly custom built guitar pedals if time allows. The first project is for my Resonant Lopass Gate Project and I am quite excited to have another go at making PCB's for this. The new ones are improved with larger pads for soldering. We may sell T-Shirts, Music CD's, Vinyl, etc in the future. Keep your eyes peeled.
Update Bad News: Some images might not show correctly due to a computer crash and reload... but I am working on that soon.
June 18th, 2008 - Well, well, well... I finally got off my ass and updated the site. Much of the missing information from the old site is here. And we have added some new stuff, particularly in the synth_diy area. Check it out. Please email us per the contact page with any strange behavior you find. Things to look out for:
- Panel Files for DIY modules
- New "Live at Dynagroove" 9 Year Anniversary Set (Yes, we played a live show again and it was great fun!!!)
- New images on the Gallery age
- Embedded Youtube videos on the diy pages
- And more small tweaks to be appreciated (if you actually appreciate them)

I'll be back with news as soon as I can get this html stuff sorted. Much love - Thomas
April 26th, 2007 - Well we have a SPECIAL TREAT for you today! We have received a solid new DJ mix from our good friend DJ Chris Long which we have decided to post for all to hear and download. Chris and his brother Jeff were the owners and operators of Higher Source Records where I spent a good five years of my life pushing tunes on wax with my friends. Higher Source may be no longer, but the spirit lives on with this mix from Chris that proves he hasn't gone anywhere. Someone please book this guy!
I've known Chris (also known as C-Dog by his close friends) for almost ten years now and can say he knows what's up with the tunes. Thanks for dropping by to hear his mix! Click the link below or the Higher Source image above to stream the file, or you can right click the link and "save target as" to save to your computer for burning and playing in your car... a lot... like I have been doing. Thanks for sending me the mix Chris! Long live the days we spent growing up at Higher Source!
click the link above to stream the mix
March 20th, 2007 - Well, it's off to Miami tomorrow and I have uploaded some free remixes for all who would like to hear them. They are all unofficial but make for good listening. Enjoy...
Right click and select "Save As" to download, or click to stream in your default media player. Hopefully I will see some of you down in South Beach for WMC! - Thomas
January 11th, 2007 - OK, so the pages have changed "a bit". There used to be a little grey theme going on... now there is a lot of grey theme going on. Color preference aside, you will find three DJ mixes by Pete uploaded to the "Music" page. Check them out. One is newer and the other two are an archived set from one of Pete's classic mixtapes "Sweet & Sour". Sometimes the good and the bad come together just so nice. There are a couple of 2007 releases added to the "Discography" too. Check it and enjoy!!! - Thomas
January 10th, 2007 - Well, I am finally plunking around behind the scenes in the deep rafters of the website. Things are going on with the pages but nothing you can see yet. Maybe never, depending on what I think of the results of my tinkering. It is our hope that everyone has a fabulous new 2007 and that 2006 was a one of the good years for you! There are lot's of new projects in the works coming out, but the most exciting is a long-awaited Dufflebag and a fairly interesting (hot) dotbleep with tracks "Mumble Mouth", "Go Chica Go", and "Subway System". Mid-2007 release for this one is my prediction. Thanks for tuning in and checking us out. Don't forget we DJ and love to travel, book us if you can! We'd love to get to Europe someday. Email us or hit us up on myspace.com/naturalrhythm for more info.
September 16th, 2006 - Added a FREE Track Download, "Born of Chicago" which was made in celebration of my influences from this great city. Please feel free to share and pass this track around. It samples people very frankly and I will not be selling this one. Strictly FREE for all who want to enjoy it. I also added a May 2002 Archived DJ mix as a little blast from the past and some new modular demonstration samples to the "Download" page. Enjoy the updates! - Thomas
September 12th, 2006 - The new "Synth DIY" page is officially up with images and details of my modules projects. I spend quite a bit of time building these days rather than making music and you can now see the results of that time. There is also a new DJ mix added to the "Music" page. This is the 5th edition in a series of mainly vocal mixes I started back around 1997 or so. I have always loved vocals even though my side of the production usually has lent to bleepy-funk jams. Take a taste if you get the time! - Thomas
September 3rd, 2006 - Another dry spell with no update, but today there is some new stuff. Added a couple of new images to the "Gallery" page. Re-formatted the "Gear" page a bit and added some more photos of my DIY Synthesizer projects. I will be adding more DIY information going forward. People who had this type of info up helped me get started building and I want to return the favor. SIDE BAR - Pete and I are really stoked to have been lucky enough to have Mark Farina license Pete's new Amenti track for his CD comp along with Derrick Carter licensing my remix of Audio Soul Project from Jamayka. These guys are heroes of ours and we sure do appreciate their support of our music! Thanks Mark and Derrick... ROCK & ROLL! - Thomas
February 21st, 2006 - Long time no update but here we go! New Modular Synth samples uploaded to the "Download" page as I have been spending *a lot* of time working on my synthesizer (see new pictures on the "Gear" page). Also a Winter 2005 mix I forgot to upload has been added to the "Music" Page. Familiar tunes now, but great listening even though a bit dated. Bookings for Thomas coming up in Wisconsin and Chicago in May!
