Update

I've spent a lot of time on my music recently and yet never got around to working on the blog, so here is a quick update:

Notch 21: Notch 21 is my latest project. I've felt a need to seperate my djing and my original productions. The first song is called "The Gunslinger" named after the Stephen King character. Yeah its lame but the imagery I got from this track really took me back to that series. The song utilizes a new purchase of mine: A Yamaha NP-30 Portable Grand. I absolutely love the piano and this song was a result of my very first 10 minutes I spent with the thing.

Depeche Mode: In order to promote my new project I have submitted an entry for Beatportals Depeche Mode Remix Contest under Notch 21. The song "Peace" is off Depeche Modes new album and is absolutely amazing. My version of this song uses a heavy acid bassline, some unique percussion samples and a dreamy synth pad. I have had faith enough in this mix to have it mixed and mastered by Terry at BMI Digital Studios who did an awesome job with Calahoo.

Have a listen to my mix and if you like what you hear please give me a much needed vote. To vote click on the "Spin it!" link in the player window. The top ten artists with the most "Spins" are reviewed by the judges who will decide the winner. I'm afraid you will have to register with Beatportal in order to vote and I sure hope this doesn't discourage you from supporting me and any other mix you come across on that contest.
Thanks!
