Lady Ga Ga – Bad Romance

Lady Ga Ga – Summer Boy

Just four weeks after the first EP Prowess Records present their second release. This single by JordyVision called “Droomweg”, was co-produced by Son Of 8-Bits with vocals from Niki Brumas. Droomweg is Dutch for dream road and that’s exactly the vibe this danceable electro-house track is giving to the listener. It’s a journey expressed in sound starting with a high-speed train that progresses to it’s destination. That’s when the vocal kicks in it signals the start of a melodic, melancholic break that brings you along the dreamroad to another world, far away from here.

The song is already available on JordyVision’s Bandcamp site, and will be distributed to most well known MP3 stores in the weeks to follow. It can already be heard on the Facebook fanpage, Soundcloud and Myspace.

Now that Offaudio 67 is finally released, it’s time to check it out and share the music. When I started playing the EP, I thought Tweetdeck was going crazy! There’s a sound in the first track that sounds very similar to the sound the application makes when a new tweet appears.

My favorite track is “K De”, deep dark sounds with a lot of atmosphere, what’s yours?

I had some other great ones in my playlist on Youtube, but some are gone due to copyright claims… (‘>_<”)

Internet-radio isn’t new, but Mixcloud tries another approach by giving you, the user, the power to choose who or what you want to hear. DJ-mixes, radio-shows, podcasts, it’s all possible and very easy for both user and producer. “Re-think radio”, as the tagline states.

The adventure starts by typing keywords in the search-bar or taking a pick from a selection on the front-page. Techno, Hip-Hop, Podcast, showcase and even talk-show, it’s all possible. A lot of well known artists are already strutting their stuff on the website along with new deejaying talent and radio hosts. Everything is linkable to your Twitter or Facebook page to keep friend, fiend and followers up-to-date with what you are listening to. But, you can also embed your favorite show or mix anywhere by means of copy/pasting some HTML code.

From the producer side of things: When uploading a ’show’ you get to set a slider (in percentage) how much music and talk is used in your episode. During the upload you can fill out some extra details like tags, the tracklist (or chapters, whatever applies to you), album-art and some extra information like a background story or a short description. when done it’s just a matter of embedding HTML code to share your latest show/mix. The only limitation is the file size as shows are not allowed to be bigger than a hundred megabyte, no matter how long it’s total playtime. This could still change as Mixcloud is still in beta-stage and my guess is that they’ll offer a paid subscription to suite your digital footprint.

Soundcloud might have become the standard for sharing music in “the cloud” but Mixcloud is the perfect solution for DJ mixes, podcasts and radio-shows. Mixcloud is totally free and in that perspective beats Soundcloud which is only free up to two hours of sound, which is Soundcloud’s biggest drawback in my opinion. (I don’t intend to pay $30 a year for a little server-space.) But then again, Mixcloud and Soundcloud are two different websites. Mixcloud is NOT intended for uploading single tracks and Soundcloud was intended to host single tracks only, even though many DJ’s upload their mixes there.

Below you’ll find my promotional mix KIX Arrivals. If you like what you hear you can also download it for free over at Prowess Records.

First of all, my label Prowess Records has launched it’s first release by producer Fujasaki on which I got the honor to do a remix, and so did _aa_. Both remixes along with Fujasaki’s reworks have gotten good receptions among the first batch of fans. And we were lucky enough to get some reviews here and there as well.

And today, after my usual day job, me and singer Lovely Leonie went on a trip to Amstelveen. Which is about the only place in the Netherlands which has a big Japanese community. Suffice to say, the キムチ, 焼き鳥, and 日本酒 tasted great. And the local bookstore holds a great collection of books to help my Japanese studies!

And than there also were the college assessments… Which turned out just a little better than expected.. (But I still need to work a little harder.)

Oh, the beer was nice, tangy. (Burp)
