It's summer... sort of. Everyone I talk to from all over the world says the same thing:

“The weather is CRAZY this year!”

— Everyone, from around the world

Despite that, everything is new. I have a new website, new music, new dj sets and new releases! My site now has a calendar that displays releases dates of new music and any gigs/events! So, if you're looking to see where I'm spinning or, if you're trying to find that next release, this is the place!

Speaking of which, yesterday we just released a new single from Jamila called, LoveSick! Check it out!

You can pick that up on Bandcamp or in the Man in a Loft store! Support good music made by indie artists!

If you're a UAD user like I am, you'll be excited to know they just released version 9.1 of their infamous software suite and this release includes some goodies! Personally, I'm super excited to demo the Moog Filter Collection. Check it out!

Moog analog filters have long reigned supreme as the most musical audio filtering circuits ever devised. Built for modern sequencer-based song production, the new Moog Multimode XL plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces borrows from various incarnations of classic Moog designs, nailing the essential Moog filter character unlike any software emulation in history.

Some producers might be excited to checkout the OTO Biscuit.

With its lush soundscapes, distortion, waveshaping, pitch shifting, the OTO BISCUIT 8‑bit Effects is revered among EDM producers, DJs, and remixers alike. Developed by Softube, and available exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces, the OTO BISCUIT 8‑bit Effects plug-in is an exacting emulation of the legendary hard-to-find hardware. http://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/special-processing/uad-oto-biscuit-effects-plug-in.html

As an owner of the previous iteration of the SSL Channel Strip, I'd love to compare it to the new and improved version in this release. Word on the street is it's gorgeous.

The SSL 4000 E console brought a modern sound to the world, powering more Platinum-selling records than any other. Its bold, punchy character and incredible dynamics have made the SSL 4000 E a true industry standard and a bastion of modern recording.

Dear Music Producers,

I came across this cool tutorial for making 808 basslines, which have been the "in thing" for everything from hiphop/trap to R&B, Pop and more! This tutorial really focuses on making these sounds in Reason, but I intend to try and repeat this using Logic and my custom selection of synths, saturators and distortion.

To learn more about Reason: http://www.propellerheads.se/reason Take a listen to Hip Hop, Trap, Pop, EDM, or just about any other genre these days and you'll hear the distinct tones of the "808 Bass" - a term used to describe tuned and pitched sub-bass lines whose origins come from a classic drum machine, not a bass synth.

If I come up with anything cool, I'll be sure to post my own tutorial and share the sounds! If you have any sound design ideas, feel free to share in the comments!

“I have a vision of reality that one day people from all over the world will wake up from that prison of the American dream and start putting actions into their hopes and promises. A vision where politicians are not the answer and their deception will destroy their careers like cancer, as they choke on their lies and the truth burns theirs eyes becuase of the propoganda of hatred that has backfired on them.”
