My last post got me thinking. what else could be contributing to the borderline boredom that I was experiencing while DJing?

Then I had another realisation. When I was starting to go out, one night I went to a Rave where I swear, the DJ was just playing the same 4/4 Kick Drum for 2 hours. It sounded like a metronome, and it got boring really, really quickly.

Well.. it's got swing, I guess.

Another angle – what would a funk drummer be like, if he played metronome straight, all the time? How about for two hours. How about, if we replaced the drummer, with a metronome? A metronome that didn’t shift? How unnatural would that be? (more…)

As anyone who knows me will attest to, I like to talk about DJing and Production. While my focus has always been towards the technology side of things, people may also know I like to talk about some of the more conceptual aspects of the art and discipline that is mixing and producing.

A little history behind the evolution of my style of DJing first, then a disclaimer of sorts, and then, I would like to put forward some thoughts that I have been having recently about the mechanics of DJing, the engagement of the the process of mixing and how drastically technology has effected how I view DJing.

Well.. my feet are freezing, and my eyes are tired, but I have nearly finished the update to the website.

I have decided to compile all my various sites into one, so eventually, the Technical Sessions, Bromide Dub, Subtle Form, and the rest will be merged into The Proof. Much easy to look after.

So, if you want to keep up to date, make sure you subscribe, if you already have, sorry if you get some strange update emails or the like. Just working things out.

As always, thanks for the update. Heaps of very, very cool new stuff coming soon!

Changes abound.

I thought it was about time I collapsed all the work I have been doing into one coherent site..
