frustrating

so this remix is close to being done. i just want to add a bass guitar part and maybe some strings and it's all set.

last night i rushed home from being out in order to try to get down some ideas i had in my head. i haven't touched music in the past week and i had all these pent up ideas i just needed to get out. i sat in front of my computer for about 3 hours and got nothing. it's quite a frustrating feeling and i was really excited about trying to finish some things or add parts to various things. i've noticed i tend to work in random bursts. i finished a new track recently that took me all of like 3 days, yet i have stuff i've been toying with for over a month or two now that i can't see to get right or finish. i guess i cant really force it and when that moment of inspiration hits, i'm sure it will all work out.

moments in love

the first time i heard this song, i was using the bathroom at cole's house at like 2am. i heard the lovely vocals floating in the air as a heavy beat pounded underneath and i was hooked. i flushed immediately and then ran out into the living room because i NEEDED to know what this song was. i guess i'm like 10 years too late or something but i think this remix is beautiful.

trying

need to finish remix. need to finish essay. decisions decisions.

sunday sunday sunday

went from 140 to 95. song is laid out. tweaking now.

inspiration for days:

saturday

finishing songs
adding parts
finishing this remix so i can play it by tuesday

getting my shit together

Hooligan Disco (w/ French subtitles) from Institubes on Vimeo.

passion pit has a remix contest for a song from their new album. i started a sick remix this morning. boom bap boom-boom bap.

all work

all day

accidental

started a new song by accident. a mouse just ran next to my foot while i was sitting here. i hate this apartment. going to savant project to party and have a good time.

boston weekend

aimless walking. bass. parties. the beach. late night dubstep.

simian mobile disco/speaking in code

so i had two pretty great experiences lately. i saw simian mobile disco at the paradise. it's been over a year since the last time i saw them and they've only gotten better. they way they buildup and deconstruct their tracks was pretty incredible to watch. granted i think they are doing everything running off Live, but it still sounded damn good. then last night i saw "Speaking in Code" which i have been waiting to see every since i saw the trailer way over a year and a half ago. the movie is all about techno and follows a bunch of writers/djs/musicians as they try to find their place in the world while still being involved with the musical culture they love. it was funny/heartbreaking and it made me want to go home and do nothing but make new tracks all night. but instead i went to make it new and got drunk and danced. oh well. school is over for a while so i'm hoping to do nothing but make new stuff/finish old stuff and finish this EP.

nothing

new

"Hold The Line"

this is going to be the album of the year

funness

nyc was awesome. Love is crazy. Flying Lotus was some next level shit. Kode 9's set was fantastic.

i cant find any footage of the show yet, but this is from Kode9's set last time at Love and gives you an idea of how crazy this place is:

travel

going to see kode9/fly lo/martyn tonight in nyc. cant wait. just need to survive this god awful spanish final.

great scott was fun. thanks to everyone who came out.

the new song

is coming along. i really wasnt liking it this morning but i added some stuff, tweaked some knobs and ate 2 hamburgers and now its growing on me. need to sit down and sequence it.


beautiful:


great scott tonight. will be fun.

new song

came about randomly. somewhat off kilter drums. we'll see what happens. this is what i get for reading about sub-bass and not studying for my spanish final.

must watch

An Interview with Ghislain Poirier from Maga Bo on Vimeo.

LL Cool J was on our campus today

to add to the total coincidence that has been my LL Cool J week, the man himself was on the Northeastern campus today while taking a tour with his daughter. i saw him walking away as I came out of Shillman. good times. we bonded.

i represent queens she was raised out of brooklyn

so yesterday i was sitting in my spanish class and for some reason my mind gravitated towards the LL Cool J song "Doin' It." i don't know why, but for some reason this song popped into my head and i couldn't get it out. later that day, i was doing my radio show and didn't have my laptop or normal music with me. i decided to just grab random 12'' vinyl LPs from our music library and play random songs for 2 hours. much to my surprise, i stumble upon the radio edit of this song and made sure to blast it. i also like that if you slowed this beat down now, it would probably make an awesome dubstep song.

noise

this opening track (or maybe piece, or maybe movement, whatever) is coming together really nicely. its loud.

body language

i've been rocking Matthew Dear's "Body Language" mix all morning. the first time i heard it, this track immediately jumped out at me, slapped me in the face and wouldn't let me go. something about it is just so hypnotizing. i love the random little elements that pop in and out as the beat steadily keeps going, like its ignoring everything else around it.

Dead Souls (Radio Slave Long Distance Kiss Remix) - Mlle Caro & Franck Garcia

also i noticed that pretty much every person on facebook has some status about how they wrote a 30 page paper in 10 minutes or something because its finals week. no one cares.

i'm scrapping everything

and will be making all of my music using this from now on

in a jar

made a track ripping off Rusko last night and some new random ambient kind of stuff. just one of those days.

been rocking Dinosaur Jr all morning.

six feet under

i started the series back in march and finished the last episode just now. THAT is how you end a series. i'm looking at you, Sopranos

Spoilers, obviously:

laundry

i went down to the laundry machine way too early and my stuff wasnt done. i came up with a drum beat while waiting. i guess it was worth it?

no party time excellent

cops broke up our fun twice last night. we just want to have a good time. lame.

music purchases

today i bought music for the first time in a while (well i buy singles off beatport every once in a while if that counts). picked up the following:

Shed - Shedding the Past
Nigeria 70 - The Definitive Story of 1970s Funky Lagos
Clark - Growls Garden EP

i was surprised to find a new Clark EP since i had no idea he had something coming out. i'm a big fan of his stuff but i feel like he's really unappreciated and people just never talk about him. apparently this new EP has vocals and is more dance floor-esque? i havent listened to it yet but who knows...

grimey sounds

my ears are ringing from re-working this song last night with headphones on. i guess that is a good sign?

fill another cup what, feelin on your butt butt

i messed this song up really badly. then i salvaged it. everything is ok now. it still needs a name instead of the date it was made.

songs of the moment:

Jamie Foxx featuring T-Pain and Ron Howard on bass - "Blame It"


Nosaj Thing - "Coat of Arms"
get it here

death star

i dj with my friend andy around boston. we wreck basements. we sometimes mix two songs together without messing up. we do a weekly night at the savant project on mission hill. allan yu made us a poster. big ups to allan yu.

hello

i figured i should document this whole process. i am making an EP. it's called "Everything Gets Ruined" and i hope to have it out by september at the latest. i may use this place to post random demos or just to rant and post music i'm into. i have one track officially done. i am working on 4-6 more and will cull down from there. i started a new banger tuesday morning at 3am. it's called "Nest" and i really like it.

things i've been into lately or that have inspired me:




The song and the video are pretty sweet. I don't know much about skating but a friend showed us the intro and it ruled.
