Tracklisting Help.
WELL I’ve Been Given A Time For My Set In May. I’ve Been Allocated Ten Fucking Minutes To Play 3 Songs. Not A Problem, But I Plan On Playing An Extra One Just For The Fun, That And I Love Techno.
So I Was Wondering If You Guys Wanted To Help, Seeing As I Will Be Intentionally Forcing You Guys To Watch A Vid Of My Set (Provided It Gets Recorded And If It Goes Well)…Well Not...
Considering
Well I Mentioned This DJ Performance I’ve Got In May, And I’m Not Sure What To Play. But I Pretty Much Just Searched Through Beatport Quickly And Maybe This
Bass Kleph - Oh Yeah (Original Mix)
Sharam - One Night (Original Mix)
Pig & Dan - Mussian Rother (Original Mix)
Kaiserdisco - In No One’s Shadow (Bart Skils Remix)
However, I Think This May Be Too Dark And Way To...

Bill's Sexy Tech Musical Devicery
I Made Up A Word, Yes Deal With It. These Are 5 Pieces Of Musical Equipment That Are So Sexy They Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Be Seen Unless They Are Shown After The Letters XXX. Because They Are That Damn Sexy. Not Based On What They Do, Just What They Look Like.
In 5th Place - NATIVE INSTRUMENTS MASCHINE CONTROLLER
Mmmmm That Sexy Orange Glow. It Would Look Even Beautifuller If I Held It...
Further Thinking.
Okay So After Sitting Here Obsessing About A Tracklisting For A Show That I’ll Likely Have A Small Part In, And Obsessing More So On What Genre To Play.
It All Feels Too Real! Proper Nervous Because It’s My First Show And, Yeah It Ain’t Until May, But It’s Like 100+ Kiddies, Plus Teachers I’ve Known Since I Was About 11 And I Then Have To Worry About How Much Time...
^_^
That Explains My Mood, Because I Got My First DJ Gig. Now Don’t Laugh…It’s A Performance To Year 7 & 8 Students At My School For My AS Levels.
Oh Well, You Gotta Start Somewhere. Even If It Is A Bunch Of Kids Who Don’t Even Know A Single Thing About Electronic Dance Music Beyond David Guetta And Shitty Samples In Pop Songs.
I’m Hoping That This Will Be A Chance...

Is It Just Me Or
Is Final Fantasy One Of Thee Most Visually Pleasing Games Series Ever. Especially 13. Just Restarted This One And Just Looking At The Graphics In And Out Of Cutscenes, It Is Just So Beautiful. The Imagery And Setting Is Amazing And The Design Is Just Spectacular.
Enough Of My Babbling.
World's Strictest Parents
Never Watched It But Just From The Advertisement For It, It Looks More Like World’s Shittest Kids.
Parents Are Always Blamed For Their Children’s Choices, And I Feel Like I Know More People Who Deliberately Act Like Dicks Even Know Their Parents Are Incredibly Nice People.
3 Producers/Artists/Bands
These Are 3 Groups That I Listen To That Aren’t EDM. I Generally Like All Music But I Just Dislike Certain Artists. ANYWAY Better Stay Positive On My Own Blog Or Anons Will Get Angry At The Fact That I Have Opinions I Want To Voice On MY OWN FUCKING BLOG. Anyway.

Ripperton Playlist
Big Mixture Of Genres In Here. Well From Minimal, Tech House & Deep House Really. So Not A Big Mixture. Whatever. Just Listen Because It’s Really Good.
Ripperton Is A Swiss Producer Who Brought Out A Stunning Debut Album On Joris Voorn’s ‘Green’ Imprint. He Is A Great DJ And A Spectacular Live Performer And Producer. Really Impressive Music, Of Which I Heard About...
Up To You Guys
Well I Have Multiple Playlists Loaded In The Metaphorical Cannon And Tbh, I Don’t Care Which. Just Want To Get A Few Likes. For Once -_-. But Seriously, Which One?
Jaytech (Progressive House/Melodic House)
Oliver Smith (Trance/Progressive/Melodic House)
Ripperton (Minimal/Deep House/Tech House/Techno/Ambient/House)
James Zabiela (Breakbeat/Electro/Techno/Drum N Bass/Chilled Breaks)
Anyone Recommend This?
Been Looking At Studio Equipment, Was Wondering Is It Worth Getting An Alesis Q25 Midi Keyboard Which Comes With Ableton LE. I’d Rather Have Cubase In Some Regards But Take What You Can Get, Right?
Would Anyone Recommend That Or Is Their A Cheaper Midi Output I Can Use With Cheaper Software? Would Appreciate If Someone Would Help Because I’m Dying To Start Producing As Soon As...
Stupid Typing.
Because Of The Way I Type, Data Transmission Refused To Let Me Write For Them!
Jokes On Them, One Day They’ll Be Writing About My Music (Hopefully). And Then They’ll Want An Interview And I’ll Force Them To Type It With Every Word Beginning In Caps. (Hopefully)
Because I Have No Voice
Yeah My Voice Is Literally Gone. All That Comes Out Is Slightly Accented Breath That Sounds Like A Word. I Just Scared The Shit Outta Some Delivery Guy, Comes Knocking On The Door Like ORITE MATE And I’m Just Staring At Him, Pale Face, Coughing Weakly Like Zoolander With A Cold And Just Start Breathing Words At Him.
He Just Goes “Erm Yeah, Mate Can You Sahgn This For Me”
Btw...

OH NOES!!! o_o
My Cold Has Got Worse And Now My Voice Is Less Than A Whisper. It’s A Series Of High Pitched Grunts And Squeeks. A Lot Like A Bart B More Track. (See Even When I Feel Like Shit I’m Determined To Insult Bart B More)
And I’m Really Tired, So Even Though I Went To Be At Half Ten Last Night, And Woke Up At Eight. I’m Considering Another Nap, So Damn Lazyyyyyyy, I HATE BEING...

Playlist #35
I Will Happily Sit Back And Admit That This Playlist Isn’t That Great. Not Much Thought Went Into It Because I Had To Re Make It This Morning After I Found Out That The Old Playlist Was Shite. SO I Pretty Much Went Through My Most Recent Tracks Played On Itunes, Spotify & Youtube And Picked A Few Out. Starting Quite Ambient, Moving Into Tech House/House & Minimalistic Electronica.

Albums To Recommend #2
I Done One Of These Before BUT I Can’t Remember What Was On It BUT Here I Go With More Albums Worth Hearing.
1) Mirror’s Edge Soundtrack By Solar Fields & Lisa Miskovsky
This Is A Really Amazing Piece Of Work. Solar Fields Made The In Game Compositions Whereas Lisa Miskovsky Done The Main Theme ‘Still Alive’ A Beautiful Pop Jem (Provided I Hate Pop Music That Is Great...
I Hate Being Ill.
I’ve Been Eating Multivitamins, Drinking A Litre Of Juice A Day, Drinking 2 Litres Of Water Everyday And Eating Lots Of Fruit To Try And Get Healthy & Lose Weight, Whilst Preventing Illness.
And What Has Happened, All Those Fluids I’m Drinking Seem To Be Coming Back As Flem And Snot, In Between Fits Of Sneezing & Coughing. AND NOW My Voice Is Going Too. Funniest Thing, I...
Today I’ve Had More Mood Swings Today Than A Bipolar Pregnant Teen.
Now Don’t Feel Bad Because You May Have Smiled At That.
Having A Fairly Bad Day In A Way. I’ll Stop There Because In Most People’s Heads, I’m Not Allowed To Moan About Stuff On My Blog. Think About That.
GREAT NEWS GUYS
You Might Be Hearing My First Track Release As Early As Next Week! Me And A Buddy From School Got Working, And After He’d Come Up With The Lead & This Bad Ass Hip Hop Drum, I Suggested Sub Bass & Hi Hats. After Adding Them And Toying Around For A Bit We Decided That It Was Sounding Pretty Sick Already, And Decided To Add Vocals. SO Provided We Can Get This Fella To Do A Rap For Us,...

5 Producers To Keep An Eye On
Echospace -
First Heard Of These Guys Through KOMPAKT.FM And The Fact They Were Doing Some Ambient Remixes On Kaito’s Ambient Version Of His Album ‘Trust’, A Beatless Ambient Version Named ‘Trust Less’. I’m A Huge Fan Of Hiroshi Watanabe AKA Kaito, And Listening To His DJ Mixes I’ve Discovered A Lot Of Great Music, So I Decided To Check Out Echospace. Now...
