SUBLABXL PACK / DEMOS

Hey f&f

I hope your year has been great so far. I wanted to share something special with all of you.

I’ve recently made an expansion pack for SubLab XL called DosBass. I used the sampling feature quite heavily in this pack and was able to fuse sublab’s awesome workflow with my recently created sound library made up of tracker sounds. I’m super happy with the pack and hones...

NYE Weekend - Tour Journal

Happy New Year friends & fam :)

I'm finally back in LA after over a month of holiday traveling. It feels good to be back in the studio and back in the zone.

I need to get better at recapping these touring weekends as soon as they happen, I'm sure it will be easier now that I'm home and not around extended family/holiday madness.

NYE weekend was WILD to say the least. I pla...

2023 RECAP MEGAPOST

Hi friends & fam

I’m sitting at a bar called Tin Cup near the Florida Everglades as I write this. My sister in law is having a Christmas party here instead of her house as it is pissing down rain outside. I don’t really have much in common with most of the people here and I’m a bit hung over and don’t feel like forcing conversation so I decided I’d take a moment to write dow...

Community WIP Feedback now live on Discord

Hey hey hey!

I've decided to revive the WIP Feedback aspect of Patreon, but this time its community driven. As much as I loved giving a bunch of you feedback on your tunes, it was becoming quite time consuming given the amount of WIPs I was receiving and how in depth I like to go with feedback.

That being said, after seeing a few other servers on discord that have community style WI...

I plan on keeping these full streams Patreon exclusive for now. Going to make a 30...

MACHINEDRUM - STARTR [COMPO_1 TRACK]

PEACE FRIENDS AND FAM

Here is the tune I made on stream live during COMPO_1.  It's a lil rough around the edges but I like it :)  I added a part where the beat comes back in at the end, but other than 1 or 2 mixing/mastering tweaks I left this one pretty untouched from what I did on stream (to keep in the spirit of the COMPO ya know)

Veterans Day Weekend - Tour Journal

After my weekend in Oregon I had a whole weekend off from shows which was super nice, but by no means did I rest!  I’ve just finished a rather large project and am slowly starting to feel the weight lift from months of labor and so many hours in the studio.  It’s always a bitter sweet feeling when I finish a big project.  There’s a sense of relief now that I’ve accomplish...

VIOLET (UNRELEASED MUSIC VIDEO)

A few months ago I put together a rough edit of a music video for my recent single VIOLET (FEAT. KUČKA) using clips of "Tribes", a 10-minute demoscene video from the 90s. I was watching a bunch of old demoscene compilations on YouTube one night while listening to my new EP to see if I could find any visual inspirations. When I came across Tribes everything seemed to instantly synchronize with ...

COMPO_1

(Update, rescheduled to Saturday, Nov 25th!)

Hey gang!

The first monthly COMPO will be on November 25th at noon PST.  COMPOs are basically track/beat-making challenges based on certain rules. Typically the main rule is that you can only use the samples included in the compo sample pack, and the competition is usually on a short time limit (2-3 hours). All submissions are anonym...

Halloween Weekend 2023 - Tour Journal

Hi friends!

Giving this tour journal idea a go. This will be my first official entry. I was inspired by the OHL tour diaries as I love reading all of them and thought it would be a great practice in documenting my travels while also letting you all in on tHe LiFe Of A tOuRiNg DJ (lol?). Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing :)

New Movements

MY FRIENDS!

The long Patreon hiatus has finally reached its end!  Starting in November, I'm unpausing the patreon for the foreseeable future!  

I've decided to restructure things a bit to not only make it more simple for all of you to support and get some exclusive bits from me bu...

Ooops

Hi everyone

Patreon is really weird about "pausing" billing cycles. They won't let you pause early and it basically gives you a 24 hour window to pause the next billing cycle, and apparently I missed that window and a lot of you have been charged for the month of June (even though its showing up as April? Not sure whats going on there).  

That being said, I'm still not ready to...

Patreon Pause

Hi friends

I've decided to put Patreon on pause again as life has been quite hectic and I've been unable to create enough content for y'all to keep it going.  I really appreciate your support it really means a lot to me.  I hope to get things back on track in the new year!

To those of you who are waiting for WIP reviews, or haven't had one done yet, I promise I'll be getti...

2012 Throwback : "Teufel"

Hallo meine Freunde

I'm feeling nostalgic yet again.  Here's an ambient number from my early Berlin days.  This one's titled "Teufel".  I believe I wrote it sitting on Lando Kal's sofa in Kreuzberg.  

I was quite the vagabond during this period, and it had an effect on my music.  I often wrote things quickly and all my songs had a certain "unfinished" nature...
