Coachella Cornucopia I - Madeon [Tour Dates]

Madeon : Facebook | Twitter | Soundcloud
Now that we have the full line up for this years Coachella, the fun activity of learning about each performer begins. There are a little over 120 artists this year and a little under 90 something days until the festivities begin in Indio, California. I'd like to think I'm familiar with about a third of the line up so this will not only help me explore new musical realms, but it'll help you get familiar as well. I'll try my best to keep this daily. There's a lot of madness between now and April so forgive me if I miss a day or two. Let's begin...

KJ Sawka's Mad Beatz Loop & Sample Pack

If you're a fan of KJ Sawka's mad jungle rhythms, break beats, and grooves on the drums then you definitely need to get this Loop & Sample Pack to have KJ virtually holding down the beat for your own productions! If not, check out the videos attached anyway, this man is AMAZING!

"I'm KJ Sawka and I'm excited to introduce the 'Mad Beatz' drum n' bass, dub step and breakbeat collection exclusively for Ableton Live, as a special holiday gift. I'm proud to be part of the world changing Ableton team!

'Mad Beatz' is mainly drum and beat-oriented stemming from a live acoustic drumming session recorded at the Art Institute in Seattle, Wa USA. There are also plenty of electronic drum loops, percussion, basslines and keyboard riffs."

Sifting through the many emails I get from people and newsletters that I signed up for just to keep up with whatever whenever, I came across this interesting piece of work entitled Tectonic released by Puremagnetik sound designer Micah Frank.

They have a lot of free instrument/sample packs as well as a whole lot more for those who subscribe.

Robots & Angels Present: Bomb Zombies + Thavius Beck + 2mex + Rahfee Zahkee 1|20|11 [Concert Review]

Robots & Angels [Official | Facebook | Twitter] @ Blue Cafe
Robots & Angels returned to the Underground of Blue Cafe for another night of quality music. But on this night the focus was shifted on not so much the traditional band but more of the contemporary producer and lyricist. Having two of the residents from the hallowed Low End Theory come down to Long Beach was surely a treat. DJ Nobody and MC Nocando both talented artists on their own right combined like Goku and Vegeta to form Bomb Zombies. We were also treated by bass bumping beat focused set by the locally based and internationally traveled Ableton sensei Thavius Beck. Unfortunately Jon Wayne was unable to perform due to illness but luckily for us 2mex was able to step in and fill the lyrical void. And to round off the night of beats emulating from computerized contraptions was Rahfee Zahkee...
