Comments & Subscriptions

Aside

It seems that comments were turned off for some reason; that’s fixed now. So if you wanna hit me up with your thoughts it’s now possible again.

I also added a way for you guys to get noted via email on any new posts; you’ll find the signup in the sidebar(s). You can also subscribe to a comment thread if you want; you’ll find the link/signup for that in the comment box on the individual posts.

Peace,

New Design

I thought it was time for an update again, this is basically the twenty eleven theme that comes with wordpress, just some customization here and there to get it looking the way I want. So there will probably be a few things that don’t work properly, but I’m on it and it will be sorted shortly. Also there are some more categories & custom things that need to be fixed.. it shouldn’t be long though. But if you find anything that’s not working properly feel free to let me know.

Peace,

I wrote a little bit about this here as well.

Site Update

As you can see I’m updating the site a little, most things should be functional, but it’s a work in progress so some things will most likely be broken. Not even sure I want to go with this theme to be honest, but it’ll stay for now. Some menu changes as well, Releases is now under About and I removed the Video page for now. I’ll probably make some additional changes in the days to come.

Just letting y’all know.

Quick Update

If some of you are wondering why I haven’t put out any new remixes, beats, or tunes in general for a bit… it’s coming. I’m in multitask mode and got several projects (both hip-hop and electronic), and artists, which I’m working with at the moment.. and previously. Things should start to trickle out as we move on through 2010.

I’ve also had some other side projects going which doesn’t include music that has taken up some time, and I’ve had a bad cold for a couple of weeks now which has hindered the production slightly (read, can’t mix when you can’t hear properly).

So to cap it off, there should be some goodies coming your way in a little bit, and I’ll try to get some more remixes, for your downloading pleasure, done in the meantime.

Site Update

I just Installed the Super Cache plugin for WordPress, last time I did it caused some weirdness on the site, so I’m just giving a heads up. I have tried it out and checked everything I could think of (which usually amounts to, not everything), so if there’s something fishy going on just let me know and I’ll either uninstall it or try to fix whatever it is that’s causing the problems. Last time around it was mainly the tunes in the download section that didn’t work for some reason, and I think I’ve fixed that.. but you never know.

Hope y’all had a good weekend.. till next time!

Projects, Ideas And New Music

I got a couple of instrumental projects in the making, not going to give away too much detail, but one of them revolves around making a 5-6 track EP through the evolution of one tune, and I’ll leave it at that.. enigmatic enough? Maybe not. I think they can turn out to be pretty interesting though, if they do I might consider pitching them to some labels.

I’m also going to try finish up another remix installment because some people have been asking me about it, and as I didn’t think my 2 Weeks 3 Hours project held up properly, it’s about time. I was also thinking about putting together a compilation of old beats spanning 1997 –2001, or around those years anyway. projects and ideasAs I recently resurrected my old darling the Ensoniq EPS 16+ and converted all the old Atari arrangements to PC, all I could find at least. So I’ll check through them, pick out some decent ones and remix/re-master them. I’m not going to change the over all arrangements, at least nothing big, I just want to apply some compressors and proper EQ’s and so on, since I didn’t have any of that stuff back then.

Other then that I got an EP coming up with Atari Blitzkrieg (as mentioned before) and some other tunes which hopefully will come out during the fall, not going to jinx anything by spilling the beans, with my track record when it comes to failed releases, it wouldn’t be the smartest thing to do. I also made a remix of St-Liqour-Ish tune Moneysack, good looking out by my man Bluevibe who hooked me up. I don’t really know what’s going to happen with it as I had to leave for vacation right after I submitted it and I have yet to get in touch with them about it. So we will see.

And… as I got into division 1 of this years LouisDen League, I’ll need to step my game up since I’ll be going up against some truly talented cats over the months to come. Will be fun though, I need the challenge.

So that’s more or less it when it comes to the music bit, but I’ve also been thinking about some other things involving painting and photography.

I’m still in the planning process of figuring out a nice/interesting theme for a photo project, not really sure where I want to take it, or what I want to do with it at this point, but I’ll figure it out eventually. planning My old Nikon needs the workout, only been taking crappy pictures with a crappy digital camera lately and that’s not cutting it.

As for the painting business I have no idea of where to start, it’s been too long since I picked up the brush, but I’m sure that once I get some canvas up and get started it’ll fall into place. My painting process is fairly abstract, as are the paintings, I never really go in with a plan, I just let whatever it is that wants to come out flow, and as it progresses I’ll see where it’s going. Would be fun to have another exhibition, but it would require me to paint a lot of new ones because I only got maybe two or three old paintings left. So a long term project, or maybe a joint project with an old friend of mine could be the way to go, we’ve talked about it at least. That could be really interesting as we did some wild collaborative paintings back in the day. Maybe go for some big ass canvases and not just the regular meter, meter and a half ones.
