Obese Beats
Who here doesn’t want them? Show me some hands… anyone? Bigger, fatter, phatter, huge, dance-floor destroying whatever, were all talking the same thing here. When it comes to writing dance-floor electronic stuff you need good solid beats. Ain’t no different for drum n bass production. No doubt. No discussion. No excuses. So how do you turn your limp, flaccid and thin beats in powerhouses rhythms? Read on. Read the rest of this entry
Howdy, every now and again I go through my old Future Music or Computer Music magazines and watch the masterclasses for a bit of inspiration or gain a little more knowledge. Now the majority of videos that they’ve brought out focus on the “house” music genre but there is still plenty of stuff you can learn from them. Besides that i’ve also found I’ve picked up new bits of information that i’ve missed in the past. Anyways, check out the videos and let me know what you think. I think Ian is a very talented producer and conveys what he is trying to teach very well. The videos are quite varied in that he goes over drums, arranging and remixing for radio etc.

Er, actually thats a bit of a crap statement these days because everybody knows they should back up, right? Well, if you didn’t then shame on you!

I’m going to continue on here with some more stuff about the thought processes behind writing beats, brain food stuff if you will. Don’t you worry yourself too much as I’ll get on with some more of the geeky stuff soon enough and let me tell you there is plenty of more stuff to come. The one like Axiom (Switzerland) is visiting little old Syndey town to smash up the dance and yes, there has been a little studio action! So hold on to your horses people, there is good times ahead!
