We recently had some issues with the sql database that holds ColdplaySucks.com. For a moment I was afraid all was lost.
I quickly emailed tech-support at hostgator and within an hour I had a reply. One of the server techs logged in and fixed some database issues restoring the site.
Phew, and A+ to the great Host Gator, a really fantastic, easy to get ahold of web host.

Another top quality Afrojack track, if you are wondering where that verse is coming from it looks like a combo of :
Plus someone singing “A” since thats when the beat kicks in on the Purple Robbpm All Stars song. Crazy!

The first video shows a quick video of Eva Simon and Afrojack in the studio. It’s a little bit like an interview, but mostly just shots of Afrojack in the studio and playing live, along with some interview cut-ins. It looks like Eva Simons has the next craziest hair in dance music since La Roux. Sorry America, but the Dutch sound is taking over.
This second video is HOT! This is the latest single from Afrojack. Clearly this man is the future of house music for the next little bit. The vocal is so catchy, I really hope this keeps going strong.

These three Swedes have been making huge tracks these days. LTWB was such a big track that I wanted to remix the track for my own DJ sets.
Their hit summer anthem “One” has been getting huge airplay everywhere, and in the clubs. Check out their latest music video for it:

I have been a fan of Sebastien Leger for a while now. I first wrote about his remix of Manson, The People last September.
Even before that I did a quick tech blog post showing him mixing some stuff in Ableton for his live show. In fact it sounds very similar to this song Plik Plok.
I really love the minimal feel of this. It still has very prominent sonic elements; this song fills your speakers out! What’s great about this song is its very DJ friendly. If you love electronic music this is the type of track you could play as a loop in your set and add SO much in terms of effects. Reverbs, Delays and a few glitch and volume modulation effects and you’ve got a banging live remix of this track . . . in the right hands of course!
There is a huge bass line that might get in the way. If you killed the bass all that would be left would be the high pitched pattern, instant DJ TOOL! Also, the did I mention that the percussion sounds really great?
What more can I say, Seb Leger tu l’avez fait trés bien!
Check out the song on YouTube below and support this artist on Beatport, iTunes etc! (and the audiophile in me also screams; BUY THE WAV not the MP3!! but thats a whole other problem)

A few months back I made a quick studio video showing the spaace where I record music, you can check outthe tour of the lab but I have something new to show you.
The video of the lab was shot back in April. Since that point I have made a few upgrades, and room changes.
New Studio Set Up
For software I’m mostly using Ableton Live and Logic. The only real hardware that I have is a DSI Mopho and a (hidden) m-audio controller.

I have been using one synthesizer quite a lot for one song to try and test the creative limitations of the synthesizer as well as improving my production skills. This time the synth I stuck to the ARP-2600 but for the next song I’m going to add my new Mopho, maybe I can make it play a chord!?

Another single from Florence + her beautiful sounding machine! This time Cosmic love gets a whimsical music video treatment full of smokey light, and vivid sets. Quite an awesome music video, worth a view:

I’m very excited about the new iPhone announced today by Apple. Most of all I’m pleased about how environmentally friendly it will be!

Well I recently had to get this track up here to listen to and share. This is the new single from Miike Snow, The Rabbit.
The music video does a pretty decent job of hyping the single, except that the video uses the Stuart Price Remix. For this reason I am providing a link to download the Stuart Price Remix of the Rabbit on zippyshare. Enjoy this remix and support Miike Snow!
