In A Blur - Vergel Evans

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 20:10:01 GMT

One of the songs I'd been working on for my LivePA at Tresor is this one. So rather then re-record it, I lifted it as is from the set and added some video from the road. It's simple, but pretty much how I felt about the whole experience.

Lx7#036 - DEMF, DJ Dijital Oldschool Tracks and Samplers

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:57:18 GMT

DEMF was the perfect opportunity to finally ask DJ Dijital some of the questions I always wanted to know... What tracks inspired him? What gets him into the studio? And what is his favorite piece of gear?

Lx7#042 - Renovations At The New Studio

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:19:40 GMT

My life is in boxes, physical boxes in various storage lockers around the city. Here is an update on the new studio space and a brief tour of the layout. It might not look perfect, but definitely a step up from my previous basement.

This episode is a goodbye to my current studio, but the Lx7 podcast is not over. It's been a summer of planning, for season 3 of the show. After 2 years of working in the basement, it's time I got organized and had something more.

Arthur Oskan AKA Meyers Briggs Live at M3

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:18:58 GMT

Arthur Oskan performs a live minimal track as his Meyers Briggs alias. I've always enjoyed hearing him perform live. His music has so much soul, and is so true to who he is... I had the N95 handy at M3 and recorded a track from his set on the phone.

Lx7#028 - Let Me Introduce You To My Band

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:17:34 GMT

I breakdown the basic format on how I build a track, the gear, and structure. Starting with an ideaI turn it into a filled out loop. If it were a math formula it would look somthing like this: Synth line+bassline+drums+bassline 2+fillersound=loop

Lx7#033 - Running The Beats In Record Mode

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:17:17 GMT

Programming their music to the nth degree can bog down the creative process. I like to let things roll & capture the happy accidents. I highlight that process on how I record. There's no right way of making music just ways that work in your process.

Lx7#039 - Theo Parrish do it cause you're _____...

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:17:16 GMT

I've been a fan of Theo Parrish since the First Floor album. When he was here in Toronto I grab the camera for a interview, just get Theo sharing his thoughts. It was 5 or 6am when we spent a couple of minutes talking about all things music related.

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:17:00 GMT

What DEMF was like? It was a chance to hang out & shoot some video. I spent most of the event at the various kiosks I took the opportunity to get a quick interview with Aaron Carl. hand held camera action, my apologies for the motion sickness.

Lx7#010 - Is classical music really techno

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:15:26 GMT

What is techno? Ha,... such an easy question to answer... electronic music right? maybe not. Let me ask the question and give you something to think about. Maybe classical music was the techno music of its time. Ever think of that?

Lx7#031 - Why the TR-909 is So Amazing

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:14:27 GMT

Before there were expectations on what a drum machine should be, there was the tr-909. Simplicity, a raw and simple interface... lots of options... There was a time when you couldn't make dance music without one. It's the magic that is the tr-909.
