Every band has its members, and my studio band is no different. In this episode I breakdown the basic format on how I build a track. Starting with an idea, and filling out the elements to turn it into a filled out loop. If it were a math formula it would look somthing like this: Synth line idea + bassline + drums + bassline2 + filler sound = loop Does that sound crazy? It makes sense... it really does.

It's been a slog of a week getting ready for this spring. Dedicated to you and me, all of us who make music, people who are tired of the the Music Industry, and are creating change. If you make music you *NEED* to listen to this show and get inspired! There is a different way to get the music out there.... we have the internet, and that's all we need.

New year, new season, and new tunes! Not only are there 2 songs to share but a first attempt at creating a ringtone. Inspired by video game / chipwave music and the iPhone everything has that strange shrill that only classic video game music can possiblely produce. Season 2 is a promise to bring even more innovation to the podcast format. Thank you everyone who has filled in the Listener Survey (jump in and share your opinion); if you haven't taken a moment to do that. Or hit the music sect ...

In this video episode I do a follow-up to the previous episode LivePA. I share the process on how I put it together, and speak to the idea of standardizing the process to make it easier to switch between patterns. It's a mix of music, information, and all round fun. If you make music, sequence live, and are wondering how to turn your music into a seemless set, give this show a peek and check out the live recording of 'Forward Looking Back'.

It's a new year and season 2 of the podcast, lets start the year right with a session version of my New Years PA. It's a 10 song set of music I've been working on over the past couple of months. Were you wondering why I didn't have a podcast up on the friday as normal? *THIS IS WHY!!!* It's 50+ minutes of me doing what I love to do across techno, electro, and even some break beat. Gear used: MPC4000 and Nord Modular G2. For mixing and all the EQ'ing I use the Stanton SA-5 mixer. So ch ...

If this episode had a musical theme, the musical theme would be 80's Synthpop. Each song of (these are definitely not tracks) have that overdub electronic feel that a lot of my favorite early electronic songs have. And with a musical influence inspired by the holidays; they aren't Christmas carols, but the stories behind the tunes sets the mood well. I also throw in a healthy dose of production technique on how each song was composed. Well worth the late nite sessions.....

Whenever the weather gets cold like it does here, I get a weirded out. I share the topic and idea of my first iMix called Cold Winter Rain. This episode is a certified ALL ELECTRO episode. 2 tracks with that electro sting. Lots of talk about this time of year and the strange energies of looking at the Toronto music scene from a pair of new eyes. Is this podcast based on the Seasonal Affected Disorder? I'm willing to bet on it. BTW: my appologies in advance but the audio isn't perfect. I'm ...

We're 2 episodes from the 1 year Lx7 anniversary show, which is both exciting and scary! This week, Greg from the Weakest Beat challenged me to come up with an entry for the second season of his podshow. The resulting track is a departure from our normal prescription of techno but the challenge makes it worth it. In a similar vein I also demo an unfinished track called the Sirens, plus an FYI on an upcoming contest I had in mind regarding cellphones.

Trackslisting: Shadow Dancer, 7 Dark Pets, Venus, Punishment, De Sade, MSQ, Sticky Stones, One By Morning, Januarys End, Don't Break Down, Breath On It, Outta Con ...

This weeks episode is as much a surprise to me as you, but I have an explination. I've been able to do very little related to the fanzine; but I did manage to give the site a new look with added functionality. Plus as the proud owner of one of the most distracting studio tool yet, you'll have to see the video to fully understand. I demo a new track, fresh off the disk, and jump through hoops to show you just how excited I am about my new little world.

An all call out for the next mix cd and the announcement that we are now one step closer to making that a reality.

Trevor (from fun-in-the-murky.com and bleep radio) came into the city to hang out and we figured it would be fun to record a podcast. He's got a TON of knowledge related to the techno and the stories around the music, so we hang out listen to tracks and talk around the music. Lots of references to artists both local and international. Music that cross all genres in the background as well. Us in the studio talking and leaving the mic on. Wish I had 2 good mics instead of 1 good mic and 1 not ...
