Dubstep APC40 video set...

So I've been putting together a live set that mixes hundreds of samples together as well as live midi, harmonica, and vocals. This is a quick little video of a chunk that I've been rehearsing. It starts off nice and mellow but ends banging... Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn7ZA0KD_Iw&fea...

Journey - Don't Stop Believing (Club Seal's Dubstep Remix)

So I seemingly get this song requested at every fucking gig. I could be playing German techno to deaf albinos and someone would still write it down on a piece of paper and chuck it at me. I decided to remix in a way that flips the mood of the song on its head. I've taken away all the hope and happin...

Re: FINISHED TRACKS FOR FEEDBACK-- SEPTEMBER 2010

@dubplateguy Heavy tune bro, I like the vibe and the thriller sample. I think the distorted synths may be a bit overpowering the drums. I dont feel like the bass drum cuts through enough. All and all though, It sweet, like 8bit dubstep @Jasperv I like the drums, especially after 2:00. The track real...

Re: How can I improve my mixing?

I'm struggling with is equalizing the highs. In most situations should I turn the highs down on the track mixing in and then swap them in before or during the bass drops or is there a better sounding way? Also I rarely fuck with EQing the mids unless there's some vocals going on, so I'm not sure if...

Re: How to get gorrilaz soundin drums

well don't quote me on this but i think the most efficient way of getting that sound is by in fact sampling drums off old, distorted, damaged vinyl... You make it sound so easy :o You could also just record with shitty mics/recording hardware (aka cell phones). I think Hudson Mohawke does that alot...

I've DJ'd 15 years, more parties than I can count, and like I said if you think you're cooler because you dropped the cash to cut a dub then you are a whack dj. You can't buy your way to being a good DJ and anyone who thinks you're cooler because your dubplate has 2 holes in it versus a dj whose vi...

Re: Works-in-Progress for feedback--MARCH 2010

@soulshynchyld I like the vibe on it but i wish the drums were more substantial and busy. I feel like a quick 2step beat would go really well. The bass that kicks in at the end is nice as well @Astral Love the tune so far, would be nice to hear a full cut, maybe a return to the intro melody towards ...
