DJ Kevin-E – Be Water (Intro – 1st Draft)
Jul 19th
I’ve been using Logic Pro for a week now after buying an IMac and have been playing around with different sounds. Here’s my first draft of an intro of a track with some Bruce Lee samples (more to come). A quick first draft, hopefully I can develop it into a full track sometime soon. I’m a beginner in Logic Pro but let me know what you think. Sorry for the poor quality video, it was ripped from youtube.

Laidback Luke & Lee Mortimer – Blau (Original Mix)
Feb 14th
A bomb of a track from Laidback Luke and Lee Mortimer. A trancey-melody which then kicks into a massive electro bassline sure to set a dancefloor go crazy.
Classic House – Mr Fingers – Can You Feel It
Sep 3rd
House Music started in Chicago in the 1980′s, before I was even born, inspired by Disco music with Soul and Funk sounds. DJ’s began to use the sounds of disco to develop a new genre, using samples and using a bass beat (kick drum) to create a new sound. You really have to go back to when House was first being produced to appreciate proper 100% Classic House.
The First Classic House song I ever heard was Mr Fingers – Can You Feel It, released 22 years ago in 1987, same year I was born. I can’t imagine the amount of times this song has been sampled since then!
I believe Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers, sampled Chuck Roberts words of “In the Beginning There Was Jack…” in his track.
These Geniuses in Chicago, developed a new genre that has inspired dance music of today.
Midi Keyboard & FL Studio 8
Jun 24th
I thought I’d try and have a go at producing music and I’ve just bought a cheap M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 Midi keyboard to work with FL Studio 8 software.
I’m going to try and learn a lot over the next few months and it’ll be a while before I put a whole track together! For now I’m just messing around and trying to get used it and to make some decent intro beats.
Tune of the Week – Pagano – Back To The Future
Jun 1st
This week’s favourite tune is a new House May 2009 release – Danny Verde’s remix of Pagano – Back To The Future.

Markus Homm & Mihai Popoviciu & Jay Bliss – Bis Co
May 15th
I’ve never really been into Tech House, or Deep House, or Minimal, I find them too repetitive and usually boring, but this new track ‘Bis Co’ has a funky exciting bassline and looped vocal samples that has seen it rise into the top 10 Beatport charts.
You can buy the track on Beatport here and listen below:
