Studio Business....

So as I said in previous posts, I've been hard at work re-building my studio space. I have a new room for it:


Bit of a blank space to really do something good with.
Its starting to come together nicely:






Still a whole load to finish off but at least it's up and running.
More updates on the space as it develops.

Daryl Hall & Chromeo - I Can't Go For That (Rascale's Xtra Beats Edit)

So as I said, I have been doing a whole load of production stuff lately.
I've got a new studio space (more info on that soon) and am utilizing it to the fullest.

Here's a little something that I knocked up recently. Taken from the brilliant series 'Live From Daryl's House' in which Daryl Hall invites friends to come over and jam with him, this is the Chromeo take on one of his more famous songs.

I have re-added the beats from the original to make it more mixable and dance floor friendly...definitely been working for me as a warm up tune.

Long road back....

It seems I've allowed this blog to languish into obscurity.
Well no more!!! Updates will be coming a bit more often now. However there are a few changes that will be coming...

About 2 months ago I was involved in a serious bike accident which left me looking like this:


And with a severely damaged left arm. For a while this meant most of my main interests were out. No bikes, no martial arts and no djing!
However I re-discovered a love of actual production and my other interests have been fuelled by this long period of 'thinking time'.

This used to be a mainly music blog for me but I'm going to shift it to take into account these other interests. So expect more posts but about more varied things.

Not leaving the music....just adding to it!

Stay tuned....
