summer is here

8, Jun, 2010

So its true.
Summer is finally here and I am officially excited about it!
So much good music to listen to and so many sun hours…I wish it would stay for ever!

I am currently work hard on a new mix right now of dubby-glitchy-breaks with a lot more whooomp than my previous mixes but it is a bit more difficult than I had thought.

I have decided to dive into Ableton Live with both feet and its an exciting adventure and also a frustrating one. Exciting because the creative flow is awesome and remixing and reworking tracks is super, super, super fun and inspiring. Frustrating because I realize that writing music is not so easy and trying to get the sounds out of my head is harder than twisting a few knobs! and coupled with the fact that its summer and I really dont want to be sitting in a dark room staring at my laptop.

Anyhow, I found this really great (but short) set by one of my favorite producer. His name is Deru and he blew my socks off at Symbiosis.

Its free and legal and gives you a hint of this guys super powers.
