Dark Music: Electro – Underground – Film

From Focusrite Octopre

Back Sooner than planned, it feels good to have Technics again.

They were actually last on my list to get,
But since I’m waiting to build up cash to get the studio stuff, I felt it was the right thing to do.

Been doing a lot more things according to how I feel.

This was one of them.

Each time I stop thinking and let what I feel guide me it works. To the point where it is freaking me out. So long as I feel it from the heart deep down, bang! it happens. You are then led at the right time to your opportunity, it just suddenly opens up.

To the point where I feel I should walk at work and I bump into my favourite girl. Being taught how to be more positive and change my attitude, I’ve noticed girls attitude has really changed towards me. I was never very good at all that, not Mr Smooth! But now it’s like, what happened?

I told one girl where I train what I felt, didn’t think much, and she melted! So if I feel again I should say something else I will, it is unbelievable how it works, I don’t get it! Yet when I think what to say I crash and burn.

I had pretty good scratching and Dj skills 10 or15 yrs ago, and want to get ready to support the Satamile release with those skills.
Adding scratching to my live show is one potent weapon, and add again being able to Dj and give a good show too.

I can even do house (with electro not friggin house) parties once my speakers arrive.

The Road Ready case was an extra purchase but fits perfectly. At the moment everything is hard work, using a crossfade, I always used a switch,and gripping the outside edge of the record, now I’m on the surface.
It’s like trying to learn to ride a bike backwards.

Slowly I’m getting there.Different hand position on the record, I can visualize how good it will be…

Focusrite Octopre

An unexpected tactician joins Tone Death FC, pinpoint accuracy, precision and highest quality for the Analog members of the team (01.03.2009, 2 Photos)

An 8 armed master of precision and accuracy.
The Analog giants will use the Octopre as the lazer guidance for their electro bombs.

I didn’t expect to get an Octopre,

But the pre amp quality is hard to match at this price.
It will give the Prophet 8 and Andromeda,
the best tunnel to go through before they explode onto the outside world.

Even the cabling will be top quality,

Starting with Zaolla for the D Sub,
and continuing with every patch cable.
The silver cables will provide the best path for the dark signals.
It’s hard to imagine what it will be like until it’s all put together.

But gradually, piece by piece, it grows

into something I didn’t expect.
The sacrifice will be worth it, and all those behind
The Ghost and the dark electro will benefit from it’s missions.
Hopefully next month another team member will join the unit…

The New Recruits Akai And Samson

The New Blood for The Crypt starts to flow ... (01.02.2009, 3 Photos)

After what seems like forever and a host of fucking car bills, The studio rebuild adds some serious HEAVY weight.
Alongside the Midfield General to end all brutal electro contests, the Samson Real Time Analyzer checks the signal to make sure it’s firing on every last frequency.

Since no one will lend anyone like me any money anymore,

The rebuild is happening the hard and slow way, but the core is nearly done.
Next month maybe the Waves Y96k or an Alesis Masterlink.
The 6 months after that are the most crucial, that’s when the Prophet 8 and Andromeda will land ready to begin their Training in the Underworld Electro Gym.

This is to prepare them for when Satamile call upon them.

Yes I am now an official Satamile artist, and all of this rebuild
is to support the deal and make it the best it can be.
Given the current global financial meltdown, they’re waiting for their shot.
It’s pointless to try to release in the midst of all this, and that’s a smart move from my point of view.

Every last pound is going into all this, the largest amount ever…

It means life is no fun, I do nothing except live and work for the machines.
But the vibe I feel is getting more powerful and ominous by the day.
It will be 100% worth it and deliver the kind of devestating Tactics and Bombs that I promise.
I just don’t care about anything else anymore, I’m not built or made for any other purpose than this…

On another topic, the Internet Indie Music Promotion ‘Advisors’

I’m getting very, very sick of them, and I wanted to give you a warning about them.
Most success stories have more than just an internet element to them, no wait ALL of them.
It’s good press to say you ‘made it on the web’.
I have tried many, Bob Baker for one over many years, most don’t work. I still read Music Think Tank just to see what ‘new fad’ comes next.

Demos don’t work right? Satamile signed me from a demo.

Labels are dead do it yourself right? And get drowned amongst everyone else releasing crap that you can’t fight through.
Play live, that’s how the ‘new’ artist makes his living.
So now all the shit artists flood the venues, and there are only so many places to play.
Now the decent acts will have to accept lower rates as a result of gigs being awash with shit.

It’s all because the ‘advice’ has been for years, ‘Go Play Live’ to earn.

Does anyone go back the last few years and analyze this advice?
No, you just get the latest new ‘fad’, the rest of us are judged on results.
BE AWARE in one shape or another, music promotion bloggers make money from advice.
Just check out Robin Good of Master News Media, and he’ll reveal all the money making blogging secrets.

That’s precisely how he earns his living, giving advice, this then generates his business.

His advice is different and I appreciate that.
But even his stuff can be just too much to sift through sometimes.
The bottom line is, MOST DEALS I’VE HAD WERE FROM SENDING DEMOS.
The QUALITY of the music stands out enough, and the TARGETS I pick are pinpoint.

Labels have strong contacts that can aid far more than the web.

They can help you stand out from the crowd AND hone your craft to make it even stronger.
Wasting too much time on the web? SWITCH IT OFF, hone your craft.
It’s far more valuable a weapon, and labels see that value.

Labels are not all DEAD, so choose wisely and at your level.

The best will survive and the worst will fade.
This is a good thing, and the best way to rise above the indie music web promotion chatter.
No one has time any more to wade through crap for you.
So turn their head with the most magical sounds you can muster, and build those away from the quicksand…..
