808 Basslines! A Tutorial!

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.

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!

Starting the New Year Off Right!
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.

Starting the New Year off right! "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 because of the propaganda of hatred that has backfired on them." When I was presented with the opportunity to remix this song, I thought it was timely given all that is happening around the world. Check out a snippet below and let me know what you think! The song entitled REVOLUTION will drop on Inauguration day, January 20th. By Biblical Jones & DJED Remixed by Antigua Deep :) Are you ready for the revolution? Find it on Traxsource, Juno, Amazon, iTunes and everywhere digital music is sold!

On January 20th - inaguration day, a new brand new Antigua Deep record drops on Certified Organik Records! Given all that happened last year, I thought this record was very timeley. Out on Traxsource, iTunes, Beatport and everywhere quality house music is sold!

Thumpday 12!!!

Cyber-REGGAE. Cyber-DUB. Cyber Alternative stuff and... cyber-house!

Hey! Did you survive Black Friday and CyberMonday?!?!? I swear, it's that time of year that reminds of The Purge, where all of your fellow citizens go out to kill one another over alleged deals on (meaningless) material items. If you made it, I hope you're still in the shopping spirit, because it's tHumpday, where I bring you hot music by indie artists who could use a purchase or two as well!

Today, we're a bit like crazed shoppers trying to find the right aisle during those infamous shopping events... We're all over the place. We have some good vibe reggae, house with a message, a cool alternative piece and... Thunder.

Thumpday 11!!!

Soulful & Jazzy

Welcome to tHumpday, a weekly post I provide as a public service for all of the HOT, artistic underdogs you might not know, but secretly wish you did! As always, if you like any of this, stop trying to find that free download and support these struggling artists that have bills to pay, just like you!

Todays post is mostly a mixture of classic soul and jazz...or jazz fusion!

 

BADBADNOTGOOD

Time Moves Slow // Toronto, Canada

Let's start this post off right. Um... Have you ever heard of BADBADNOTGOOD? They're kinda popular. I wonder why? Maybe, it's all that delicious soul they bring. Check 'em out! Remember... Running away is easy. It's the leaving that's hard!

 

Mariami

Gates // New York, New York

Feeling this... This lovely New York artist brings us, Gates. It's pretty interesting. A lot of songs I've been listening to these days have references to 90's R&B/Alternative R&B material. Anyways....Open up your gates and let someone in your life. Life is short!

Let's get chill and instrumental. Words just get in the way. Hailing from the remnants of that great city, Detroit, Jay Daniel brings you the pleasantly percussive Paradise Valley. Now, lay back and relax.

Speaking of chill instrumentals, Brooklyn's FaltyDL delivers the vibe with Frigid Air, off of the Heaven is for Quitters album.

A modern jazz song with interesting timing and a message... Checkout this combination of acoustic instruments and modern tech in this creation from the Oklahoma duo, Adam and Kizzie.
