Free track and submission to Beatport remix contest…check it.

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

So, I entered into Beatport’s remix contest for Yello’s classic track “Bostich” and re-worked it with my close friend Stephen Thomas aka Steve Wilson. I think we managed to eek out a banger of a track, with a lot of positive feedback coming from friends and acquaintances.

We need your votes though! Check out the link below, sign-in with your Beatport account (if you have one) and give it a “spin” aka vote. Hoping to at least make a strong showing, as we think the track is a stand-out amongst the sea of bland stem re-works. There are some other really amazing remixes though, so we won’t fault you if you don’t vote for us…but I’ll leave it to you guys to find them for yourselves ;)

Check it out and vote here

Also, for those few of you that may check out the blog, I’ve got a full-length version of the track available for DOWNLOAD here at Cause, Effekt.

Enjoy, and let me know what you think.

ALSO,

Some friends and I have started up a new site / events blog for Knoxville dubbed Knoxville Electronic Dance Music Collective aka knoxville-edm.com. The goal is to get every single EDM event in Knoxville on the map and listed so we can build a bigger scene, even if its a genre, style, or crowd we may not care for. No bias, no hate, just a venue to get the word out about events, and hopefully start up a forum for discussion. So if you’ve got events to drop, please let us know and we’ll get the info posted, including flyers!

Take Off For Detroit…a new track from The Funnel

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

Heading to Detroit to perform my yearly pilgrimage once again this year, I decided to do some pre-arrival track work in the O’Hare airport. The early drum, perc, and bass tracks for this one came out of that session, hence the name. Check it out on Soundcloud, and feel free to download the VBR copy for your own use–covered under Creative Commons copyright as all my works should be (but I don’t always make that clear). I think I’m done with it, but maybe you can leave some useful criticisms for me to make it even better. Enjoy.

Move over Lemur…hello TouchOSC

Saturday, June 20th, 2009

Just a heads up to those of you with iPhones and that like to dabble in production or live PA…and I know I’m probably a bit late to the punch on this one, but I just found out about TouchOSC a couple of days ago and was floored by the functionality on this app. $5 gets you a customizable Lemur-like interface that can be converted to give MIDI signals in combination with OSCulator on the Mac. Finally, an X-Y pad controller! woot

Super handy stuff when you’re mobile and don’t want to tote around a bunch of hardware controllers, plus just damn useful in the studio. The only downside is there is currently no free OSC to MIDI converter available on the Mac, so you’ll have to purchase a license of OSCulator for $20…which is also what you need to use for WiiMote action, so it can serve double duty I guess.

Anyway, its one of the coolest apps available for the iPhone if you’re into production and it’s not just another gimmick like so many other music apps. Check it out.
