Brooklyn's Proper Villains is one of the heavy bass guys who came from the Drum and Bass scene and whaddaya know, his first blog track of 2009 is a bassy remix of Dillinja's "Twist 'Em Out".

Micro dance as new genre

Some one once asked me what existing music genre does your music fit in. I said. "NONE". As of today, It's Micro Dance, a new genre in dance music.

Try to have a listen and see what you think:

Albums:
kevkondro - Thursday Blues

Singles:
kevkondro - Singularity

Singles:
kevkondro - Crown

Micro dance: kevkondro Singularity

Another micro dance piece that mixed live. Download the track (save target as).

Pop music chords

The Axis of Awesome 4 Chords

In fact, it is true most of the pop songs use just of a few chords, like C G F Am. And that's great! They're easy to learn, easy to get a feel for. Now you go make most of your vocals, groove, lyrics, melody, bass, and percussion. Mix it down and you have a song.

New live mix

Just recently on live 7 I mixed up a session called Crown. Here it is for you to download. It's a live shot, no edits.

That's a video for a tune in the dj set I posted recently. One of the coolest tracks.

Electro-Harmonix Voice Box or a piece of gear want to own

Voice Box - Video by Jack Conte - Vocal Harmony Machine/ Vocoder - Electro Harmonix

Features:

* 256-band vocoder “designed by the same EMS genius who made vocoding famous,” they say
* It will harmonically match electric instruments as well as vocals.
* 2- to 4-part harmonization, at the 3rd and 5th (labeled “Low” and “High” in case you slept through Music Theory class)
* 9 programmable presets
* Gliss
* Gender bender male/female formant mod (which actually sounds decent, and could be fun with instruments, as well)
* Mic pre, phantom power, balanced XLR output (thanks for not making this like a cheap consumer toy)

kevkondro - thursday blues

Today I am publishing my first digital album which i dubbed Thursday Blues. It has 5 tracks. These are live tracks performed on Live 7. Basically, if I had to perform them again I would not get the same ideal match with the track versions on the album. When I do it live I get slightly different results at every take.

It didn't take much time to produce these tracks. Much longer it took for me to realize these are actually good to go under the same album. Lol. Enjoy responsibly!!!
