Technin’2TheAM

By · Comments (0)

This was totally off the cuff, I made it for my boys to listen to on the way home from the City Saturday morning after partying Friday night… It is a bit cheesy (I don’t know if that is the right word), clubby techouse and techno. Bigger club stuff anyways.

I hope people like it. :)

I finally updated the site! This will be more often as I am finally getting some play worthy tracks done in the studio. But until then I’ve added a video page with videos of some early parties and a charts page with my monthly favorite tracks…

R.A Charts (updated monthly)

I have been a Propellerheads Reason user for almost a decade now. Although I’m still not anywhere near where I want to be when it comes to writing music I haven’t given up, if anything I’m more focused now than ever (why I waited till I was this age to get focused is beyond me).

I’m not going to give you a detailed review, there are many other there that are probably written much better than I can, but just wanted to tell you that this little box of awesome is amazing. Reason now (finally) has an amazing SSL mixer, simpler routing/bus options, fantastic effects plugins; and most importantly, AUDIO (not just MIDI like it always was version 1-5). Yep, record audio right into the sequencer from any drum machine, synth, guitar, or whatever. Vocals even. It sounds great too.

P.S. There is NO SUCH THING as a “Reason sound”. Reason doesn’t sound like anything, but it can sound like anything. People that think Reason has some sort of “sound” are simply amateurs that have only spent a few minutes messing with couple of the basic synths set on a couple of basic presets. There are plenty of fantastic dance music producers that write great dancefloor tunes in Reason. Claude VonStroke, Kill The Noise, Liam Howlett (of The Prodigy), A Guy Called Gerald, Aux88, Tom Middleton, Dave Spoon, & Printz Board (the music guy from the Black Eyed Peas) to name a few…

If you were there (when he played in SF) you know what’s up! Maybe you know what’s up but weren’t there (why not). Or maybe you still don’t know what’s up?

Either way, if this happens again within 200 miles of where you are, you need to be there. That is all.

I’m still here…

By · Comments (0)

Yep, I do manage to neglect this place. With Facebook and contributions to RevivalNitelife.com I do spend (waste) a lot of time posting stuff online. Well, I’m still here…

A quick update…

I have taken almost all focus from deejaying, promoting, and throwing parties for a while to FOCUS on writing music. At this point I realize I’m not the kind of person that can do it all with the time I have. Although I’m still staying current on new music and will take a gig if I really want to play at it the time has come to get some originals, remixes, and edits done.

Having started building my studio about 10 years ago, and consistently adding to it over the years, even having a few finished tracks and remixes (none of them are good enough to play out), I have not achieved anything near what I want to. That time has come and hopefully you’ll be seeing new original tracks and remixes here soon! :)

That’s about it for my update. You can always find me on Facebook or as a contributing author to RevivalNitelife.com until that time you’ll be seeing new music and mixes here…

I really do neglect this site, don’t I? My apologies, but I’ve been spending time on producing my own tracks (this shit is HARD, I am no natural) and contributions to RevivalNitelife.com. I did this little mix a bit ago, from the depths of the dome. An off the cuff one take affair per usual, trying to fit a full 4 hours at the club into 80 minutes.

As an often contributor to N. Cali nightlife website Revival Nitelife I almost always forget my own website. But here’s a story that in my estimation will be important to deejays, producers, and music lovers everywhere… Myspace is making wholesale changes in the face of Facebook’s domination that might change a lot of things in the music and nightclub bizz…
