Upcoming Gigs

Posted on Feb 26, 2012

Hello 2012!!   My tan is back and my batteries are charged after a fantastic trip to Costa Rica. Now I'm totally looking forward to all the great adventures on the horizon.

 

I'll be heading out to Victoria B.C. on March 10th to play a very special event: The Rainbow Cathedral Presents: REVIVAL featuring Nokturnal.

 

As well I am also booked for Motion Notion this summer, this event has been a fixture in my life for many years and an incredible weekend well worth the effort. It has moved to a new location in Golden BC this year and from what I have heard it's going to be a big improvement.

 

I've got a stockpile of killer tunes I have been wanting to hear on the big system, so I'm excited I get to satisfy my urge to rip it up.

Winter is for Geeking Out

Posted on Nov 30, 2011

Our fall here in Calgary has been fantastic, no complaints coming from this fella that's for sure. The summer was intense as my wife and I bought a house then renovated the top two floors... it was a very crazy 3 moth process that is now 95% complete. Now that I have more free time on my hands I have moved all my studio gear into the basement and have been enjoying my gear and getting back to some much neglected music time.

 

I've got three mixes that I am planning on completing over the next couple of months, one of which will be an entirely new genre for me. I may even be doing them in Ableton rather than with Traktor, just to switch things up a little. I am also in the process of switching over from Traktor Pro to Traktor Pro 2... not too excited as in the past every time I have messed with something that already works it just causes a lot of problems.

 

I've also got my turntables set up for the first time in many years. I need to buy some new needles and may even play a vinyl set at a future event on of these days... I' forgotten how many stunning tracks I have on vinyl! No they don't sound as laser crisp as digital wav files do, but they have their own rich sound and memories associated with them.

 

It's going to be a really incredible winter, I can feel it in my bones.
