A fast paced dance track. Would likely qualify as Trance. Considering I never really have a plan when i start making a song, It could be called IDM, or just my own style which I call Chao-Core.

This is a collaboration I did with Fat Tone Tony ‘The Freestyle Pitbull’. He’s on vocals, I did the beat and production.
If you like the song you can buy it through the link at the bottom of the page.

This is a new video by me, with my song CrackPipe. Kinda a surfer techno type thing.
The visuals were done by recording the song on WinAmp while using the free visualizer MILK. I downloaded a ton of presets for it, so thanks to everyone that made one that showed up.
Enjoy the music. If you really [...]

Space music is a very wide genre of music. The overall theme is travel. It is meant to invoke a feeling of great space, and moving within it.
It is impossible to really nail down what space music is definitively. It uses influences from every where.
The only definite element is a contemplative nature, and [...]

Anyone that has a website (or anything online) to promote is aware of the difficulty that can arise with getting traffic. There are millions online, there are billions of websites competing for their attention. Along with all the websites come a myriad of ways to promote them. Here is a new one I found that [...]

How important is style? Depends on you.
I use whatever I want, however I want. Unless I am specifically making a beat of a certain genre.
The best way to get a feel for a style is to listen to some music from it. Ignore everything but the beat and use their rhythms as a starting point. [...]

The basic principle of Minimalist techno is getting people moving. Its pure dance music.
When you set yourself on making a Minimalist techno track, work your drums and bass first and arrange everything else around them. Don’t worry so much about not being repetitive, use pitch and processing to work the drums into something that you [...]

A term often misapplied to all electronica Music. Techno is a fusion of Disco era Funk and early Electronica styles. True techno is just as much about soul and funk as it is a bout synth, space and robot sounds.
If you want to make good techno, you need a solid understanding of All those styles.
Funky [...]

Down tempo is A Smooth style combining slow beats with an Ambient style. Its intended to be relaxing. Its the electronica equivalent to smooth jazz.
When creating a DownTempo track in Acid Music Studio I recommend setting your Beats Per Minute (BPM) fairly low, around 90 to 70. Use slower, hypnotic “groove type” beats, and arrange [...]

Arrangement is Taking the intro, the verses, the chorus, and other parts of songs ,and arranging them.
Sounds simple, and the truth is that it is. It only gets hard when you make it hard.
The simplest arrangement is Intro-Verse-Chorus-Bridge-(A solo, for example)-chorus-Finish.
All it really is, is figuring out when instruments start, when the beat starts and [...]

It seems simple, but its one of the biggest mistakes and oversights of the new home producer. Where do you place the mic? What you’re trying to record plays a big part. As well as the desired effect you want from the recording. Position can effect a great number of things, and I’m going to [...]

One of the things I love about sound loops, is the ability to change them. To take a guitar loop, and make it into the base of my beat. To take a vocal loop and distort it into a glitch element.
Now if you didn’t understand any of that, A sound loop is a piece of [...]

If you dont know what loops are, they are audio samples. Sounds, drum beats, bass lines, etc. Pieces of sound, that can either be played once, or ‘looped’ through a song. Its the old practice of sampling from albums, taken to another level.
There are loop libraries made by some very famous musicians, and a whole [...]

Let me start by explaining what a sample is. Technically a sample is any piece of sound. A drum hit, a guitar strum, a bus going down the street and every other noise you can imagine, and some you can’t. These are all samples. You can use them to piece together music of your own.
However [...]

Sorry for my absences.

Well, the work has paid off. I finally have the project I’ve been working on for the past few moths up and running.

As I’m sure you can guess from the title, it’s a deal a day [...]
