30 Years on the Decks

One of the most famous djs – Sven Väth – wrote a short article about the role of the dj. It’s a personal statement from a dj with 30 years of experience.

I’ve always invested a lot of time in finding music. I used to visit record shops several times a week to check the latest records, exchange experiences with other DJs and producers and discuss about Techno and House music. Unfortunately, I only can afford this luxury two times a month now, due to time restraints, but the guys at Freebase Frankfurt are kind enough to send me the records home, as I’m on the road too often. Admittedly, I do miss the social environment of a record store and the exchange of information with the DJs on the spot.

Progtronica

This glitchy live session is nasty and incredible well performed by Nigel Sifantus. The music is called “Twillight 2010″ and is available as free download on his soundcloud account (see link in the bottom of this page). His debut EP “Live for no one” is also out now…

An Ableton live performance Dj’ing from behind the drums part 2: Trip_Hop Edition “Twilight of 2010″. Using the Novation Launchpad to trigger different parts of the song in real time while playing the drum part on modified Roland V-Drums. This song is dedicated to the trials tribulations and torment of 2010, and is inspired by the Cinematic Orchestra’s “As Stars Fall” as well as Squarepusher’s “Music Rotted One Note” album. This is Progtronica as the futuristic one-man drum ninja band. Here I’m using sidechain compression on the bass and ambient sounds separately against the live drums, which makes for an interesting sound.
