Thanks Pitchfork!

April 25th, 2009

This is a screenshot, don’t try clicking on those links…

Soooo I wanted to post a link to the Pitchfork review of Infinity +1. Not just because I’m happy with the score they gave me… that would be kinda lame. Rather, because I really like what Nate Patrin wrote. So if you enjoyed the CD or if you’re curious about it, I urge you to read it. This dude really honed in on what I was trying to accomplish. Song-wise, Infinity +1 isn’t supposed to be the most boundary-pushing CD. I just chose songs that I thought you’d enjoy listening to and that shared a common aesthetic. If you’re a DJ you probably already know a few of them. It’s meant for a wide audience, knowing that Thrive has that kind of reach, but the way I assembled it is where I tried to push the envelope. That’s the key balance right there. Every transition has something special about it. So I hope you guys enjoy the CD, and hopefully I got my message across by choosing songs that represent to me a slice of time right now.

Do The Running Man

June 10th, 2008

I can finally announce my record! The damn thing comes out in 2 weeks. Sooooo Nike does this series where they ask producers to make a continuous 45 minute piece of original music meant for people to jog to. I made one and it comes out June 24th exclusively on iTunes. The only catch is I don’t run. In fact I said it in the official press release:

“I don’t really run. Yet when Nike asked me to do this track I was smitten. There was a musical challenge there, and I got excited. I’ve been producing mostly uptempo electro tracks as of late, but my background is hip-hop and I think you can hear it in my choice of sounds. I wanted this record to showcase my current style, but I also didn’t want to stray away from hip-hop completely. That’s why you find guest rap verses in the mix, plenty of chopped & screwed vocals, and a hefty dose of drums breaks that are surely more block party than Ibiza.” — me
