HAPPY 2023 EVERYONE
Hope you've all had a great start to the new years. I know i did, with some really awesome time away in the mountains. Worked on a bunch of music and was really happy with how a lot of it came out. It's been more of an introspective trip with insights to what i want this year to look, feel, and sound like.
In saying that, I've put together a little sample pack fo...

Hope this comes in handy! Thanks Colt...

We're back for another round of SMAMPLZ (yes smamplz) and this month im bringing some opposing vibes with some hard hitting, slappy, smacky, transient heavy KICKS (!!!!) contrasted with some smooth, silky, round and flowy atmospheric layers. (I've also RE-added some of he kicks from an old sample pack incase anyone missed them)
Hey everyone!
Happy September. Hope you're all doing well.
Arguably one of the toughest slots to play, there has been a bit of chatter in recent times about the right and wrong ways to go about DJing support or "warm up" sets. While a lot of opinions are valid and make sense, I figured I would put my two cents in through this video as a follow up to our previous tutorial on how to p...

The next tutorial is incoming and its a topic that i run into a lot when doing mix downs for you guys. Sample selection and what to look for when choosing kicks and snares etc. They're important decisions when building a track!
They can make or break the sound of a record over all and a lot of the time the kick isn't hitting just right, its lacking low end or the...
