GOLDIE – PRODUCERS HOUSE | SBTV

Very informative profile on DNB Legend Goldie by SBTV offering great insight on his production studio setup and his process when working on tunes.

SBTV says: “Goldie talked to us about his career in music and art, and of course took us into the studio to meet his right-hand man and long serving engineer Heist. They showed us how they create music, breaking down the production and creative process behind Goldie’s first new track of 2013; “Single Petal Of A Rose.”

ANNOUNCING REASON 7

Propellerhead Software proudly presents Reason 7, currently undergoing beta testing and will be released when the testing is done, in the second quarter of 2013. The Reason rack has seen an exponential growth over the last few years with the introduction of unlimited audio recording, studio grade mixing tools, and support for third party instruments and effects. With Reason 7, we continue that expansion to let you take your mixing to the next level, to place Reason at the heart of your studio, and to continue to inspire you in your music making.

Reason 7 also comes with an expanded sound bank that adds a new and powerful section of hard hitting drums loops: big room house, dubstep, and even metal. It’s all there, ready to be thrown into your tracks. For importing your own sound files into Reason, there is now support for more audio import formats, such as mp3, wma and aac to make it easier to grab loops and recordings from your music library or the web.

MOOG SUB PHATTY

Moog Music introduces the Sub Phatty analog synthesizer, a 25 full-size key, 31 knob production instrument that melds the soul and functionality of vintage analog synthesizers with new and unique sound design tools. Building on the tradition of Moog’s highly successful Phatty family, the Sub Phatty grinds and screams with a uniquely aggressive voice — making it the new standard for synth bass, analog percussion, and a wide range of sound design applications.

In honor of the new Moog Sub Phatty analog synthesizer’s release today, experimental multi-genre music producer, Flying Lotus, and Adult Swim veteran, Adam ‘Lilfuchs’ Fuchs collaborated on a short animation called Moog Sub Phatty: New Machine For Living. You can hear the new Sub Phatty analog synthesizer in Flying Lotus’s original score for the animation.

OM UNIT | ULYSSES

In love with this tune – video from Om Unit right now. Created by Bison & Sam Coldy. The simplicity of the retro styled graphics works perfectly with the deep, cinematic track. I just wished it was a bit longer, but overall, really great job!

COM TRUISE & NITE MOVES LIVE

I was able to catch up with Com Truise as he was finishing his tour, I discovered his work less than a year ago, mainly because of his album covers, and I immediately felt a connection to his style, only to later discover his amazing music work, which I actually listen to a lot while doing design work.

Check out the video above, taken by YouTube user Orangelemonblue during the last stop of a long tour, at the Observatory in Orange County with drummer Nite Moves.
Com Truise is reppin the ‘Classic Logo’ tee by Dataset available soon at the store.

AMON TOBIN, DATSIK : BY V SQUARED LABS

Chances are that you’ve already heard of transformer-step lord, Datsik and his new Vortex show, or Ninja Tune‘s own Amon Tobin and his recently improved ISAM 2.0 show. If you’ve been to an electronic music show in the past few years you will notice that sound systems alone are not cutting it anymore, music artists are in search to give an experience to their fans, and unless you are into the motion graphics industry, you probably haven’t heard of V Squared Labs before, but chances are you’ve experienced their work more than once, if you have been to a big concert in the last 10 years. A group of visual artists led by Vello Virkhaus, are re-writing the way we experience live music by integrating stage design, light and cutting edge visuals to the music.

Top: Trailer for the new and improved version of Amon Tobin‘s “ISAM Live 2.0″
Bottom: Teaser for the Datsik‘s “Vortex” tour.

ILLUMINAUTS AT KAVA LOUNGE, SD

One of my favorite music projects right now is Illuminauts AKA Santino, David & Nicky are in my opinion best experienced live, where they perform with no laptops, building beats on the spot. Check out their Soundcloud for some quality beats and stay tuned to their Kill Quanti to stay up to date for new releases and maybe catch them live on their next gig.
