Cloudcycle audioblog

Yesterday i posted about mauxuam. I also, signed up to receive the album (downloading now). But there's more good dub around and it's on Cloudcycle. You can sign up to download mp3's @ 320. Interesting thing if you know how to do dub you can collaborate with cloudcycle on a project (remix, new track). More info on samples page.

kevkondro coffee

it's been like ages since i did anything with my own voice, or vocals to be musically correct. Last night i started on a simple electro piece. Today, as we speak, i've recorded a final take, which is available below. I ain't no singer - don't expect miss kitten or felix da house cat here. Just an idea for now, but i am thinking of having a new album consisting of songs like these, with vocals. So more singing to follow.

O M D ::: Souvenir (Moby Remix)

New micro dance track

It's been a long time since I have done any micro dance. For those who do not know what the micro dance is i will try to explain.

Micro dance is a sub genre of dance music (it's my invention, of course). The music is as simple as possible. Very few instruments and musical phrases are being used. No mastering. No post production. No polish at all. It's rough and pure. Usually, the first take on some pre-made midi clips in ableton may be considered micro dance music.

So here we go! Enjoy a new micro piece from me (see below). You can check out my micro dance album too. it's called Thursday Blues.

kevkondro - live act no1 take8

Take8 has come very shortly after the take7. I've followed some of the advice found in audiotuts+ post about the saturation effect and what it does to the mix. Now and again the set has got a completely new feel to it's mood and expression.

Empire of the Sun videos

Empire of the sun has really got a uniquely pleasant electric feel to their music and the below tracks just prove it. Vocals somewhat remind of the MGMT guys. Learned about them just a few days ago from a mate.
