An Apology and An Album

Hello. It's been kind of slow these couple of weeks, or at least I've been. I was supposed to be working on a set. However, as luck would have it I been in contact with a label (Club-A-Club Records), and I've been focusing mainly on production now as a result. With my other full-time job, finding time to put a set together has proven quite difficult. I am sorry about that.

In other news, I stumbled upon this:

It's an interview with a guy who just put out an album, and he's a genious. Makes his tracks in soundforge, with no sequenser, and you just can't tell. Here's a track from the album

Swedish house mafia

I'm almost done with my Swedish house mafia mix, I'm just working on the last details and I consider to make a intro but I'm kinda tired atm so I dont know. I'm rendering the mix now and it do feel really good! GAH! 1hour of sweet music. It will contain bombs like Kidsos, Open your heart, How soon is now and some Partouze!

Check it out later! piz

Soulwax & Jus†ice

There isnt many documentaries out there that contains EDM music. There is 2 that got my attention and that is Justice - A cross the Universe and Soulwax - The weekend never dies.

They are really funny to watch and gives you an idea of how it can be as an artist on tour. The documentaries contains alot of cool stuff like Live footage and incidents that occur on the documentarys. Enjoy

Soulwax - The Weekend Never Dies
Soulwax is like three parts, one is the band the other one is the band & Dj and the last one are DJ show. It's kinda hard to explain you'll have to watch it to understand :)



Justice - A Cross The Universe
What can i say about the french Duo except that they are wicked. They are genious behind the decks aswell as producing tracks. They are pure Rock n' Roll as you will see in thier documentary.

Today was a good day

Once again Monday, but this time it was a good day.

Started out with some paperwork for the employment office, and when I was done, I listend to "Ice Cube - It Was a Good Day".

Then I watched some South Park episodes and got reminded that I had to clean out my garage to make room for my car, but I realized I was way too tired, so I returned to listening to music, and I got some ideas and influences from "ill bill" and "necro".

Now I'm formating my computer so I can install FLstudio 8 again, and then I can go on with producing beats.
Meanwhile, I'm playing "Star Wars: The force unleashed" on my Xbox360

Have a great day/night and... oh wait.. I almost forgot!
Here you go, Chilly.C - Beat #4

Ice Cube - "It Was a Good Day" & "Check Yo Self"

Deadmau5

I'm not a big fan of Deadmau5 or vocal tracks but I've to admit that this track is amazing.


Deadmau5 Ft. Rob Swire - Ghosts N Stuff (Vocal Mix)



And I'm working on a fat tribute for the Swedish house mafios so check it out on friday or saturday.

Peace.

Making Music Like...

It's All Gone Pete Tong - Trailer

If you haven't already, watch this flick. It is awesome.

On a more serious note, if you ever wanted to start producing, I have a few tips:

1. Learn to love music
2. Learn to love all music
3. Learn to play an instrument, or two, or three
4. Learn music theory
5. Get a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation, like FL or Reason) and read its manual to learn to use it
6. Read this book and then some more, all while searching the internet. Seek and you shall find.
7. Practice.

Ain't going to be any easier ;P

There is some great producers and DJ's like Jams Holden, Nathan Fake, Fairmont and MFA etc. An album i've been waiting for a long time is Nathan Fake's Hard Islands which he released May 2009 and is in my opion the best album of this year up to now.

Nathan Fake - The turtle
Nathan Fake - Basic Mountain
Nathan Fake - Castle Rising
Nathan Fake - The curlew
Nathan Fake - Narrier
Nathan Fake - Fentiger

Video of the song Fentiger which is my favorite
