Audien - Wayfarer

Trance is getting back into it in a big way!!!!

Here Again.

Morning,

A while since my last post and although things are going great guns with my new night at a local bar in Folkestone due to start next Wednesday - have decided to get back to the doctors as my mood is rather up and down at the moment.

Something that just cannot continue.

We'll see what the doctor suggests soon.

Frustration!

Morning!

Spent about four hours on Ableton this evening - in fact I've just about finished on there doing a mash-up for a mix which I'm gonna do either later today or tomorrow before I head back to work on Tuesday - that I will not explain away the tracks involved as I might, just might tweak with it before hand. I've been looking for a particular track to go with it - but the name of the song has completely been lost in my head!!!

Off to the gym in eight hours or so - then off to Mum's to sort out their decorations and have dinner - then to JD's for the Mansfield game.

Be lucky!

Capa - Chances (Original Club Mix) - Toolroom Records

http://youtu.be/Xjvwt9Y3wxU

This is gonna be an absolute monster for the coming months - it's got that feel that it's gonna be a timeless classic - you can play it as a peak-time stormer or play it earlier with the BPM down a few notches!!

Lessons Learned - Don't Fuck With Traktor A Day Before A Gig!!!

Good morning.

Quite a difficult evening to start with at the bank. Traktor was a bit of a bastard to start off with.

Saying that though, after about 15 or 20 minutes figuring it all over again, when something like that would take me forever to deal with - we were able to continue the set, and made the owners and people in the bar happy with the eclectic set.

Having said that - I got back from the bar about 12.30am and spent an hour or so pissing around with Traktor to get it back to how I want it to be.

Lesson learnt!!

Starting That Track

Morning!

Going to start my first track on Ableton today - Got a few ideas of how we want the track to sound. We want it to sound very melancholy almost like a journey through my life. Starting almost very much Orbital's Halcyon On and On - with a rhythmic sounding beat - I'm looking for a drum machine program on the iPhone so I can get some ideas together!!

New Year Resolutions!!!

Happy New Year, Cunts!

Apart from the usual resolutions of losing a bit of weight and to cut the crap - one that's been somewhat damaged by the fact that I've had a Chicken Royale from Burger King - I've got several more resolutions with a bit of substance.

1) Update this blog! Pretty self-explanatory really!

2) Get more gigs - and try to get gigs away from town! I've always been stuck in regards of having to stay in Folkestone due to lack of transport - but I've been promised the chance of helping with gigs in London in the not so distant future - something that excites me but also fills me with dread - or perhaps it's just nerves!!!

3) Get into producing - I've dabbled with producing for about 15 years but e mastering side of things and creating that final mix has always freaked me out somewhat!

4) Be happy! I've documented my troubles with depression and how that has led to me having issues with weight in one shape or form. Now I've moved into my own place - I'm needing to be an awful lot more aware of how I am feeling in myself - and that is going to be helped by something that one of my mates is giving me as my housewarming present. A exercise bike!

Have a quality year!!!
