It’s summer time out here in California and many other parts of the world and the pool and beaches are calling. The track that I can’t stop listening to is ‘Swim feat. Shane Blackshaw (Original Mix)’ By James Silk, Lee M Kelsall, Shane Blackshaw.. This house track has a great balance of sexy vocals and a nasty bassline that will get you dancing any where
Tutorial Video - Laidback Luke
Just saw that trailer to the new Zack Efron movie that’s coming out (LOL). Zach’s character said “All you need a laptop, some talent and one great song” to be a successful DJ!!!. … Sorry Zack, it isn’t like that at all and the great Laidback Luke explains 'Real DJ-ing' in this wonderful seminar he gave at Dancefair this past year.

Artist To Look Out For - Adam Johan
I can’t speak highly enough of about my Artist To Look Out For this month. Adam Johan is a passionate, outgoing and driven producer that is one not to over look. The Edmonton based producer just dropped is new EP “Let’s Pretend” and has had crazy support with one of the tracks “Get It Girl” from acts like Shiba San and others. Adam and his Night Vision Crew are taking Edmonton by storm by infusing a new culture of music that the city hasn’t experience before. Throwing monthly parties and even opening up a production school to help others express their musical passion. Had the honor of attending the production school Icon Collective with him and have watched his growth as a producer on weekly basis. I see this guy taking over the scene and stages around the world very soon.

It’s all about what you create on the keyboard. You can have a great kick, snare and clap , but with no bass or piano notes you have no song. So that being said here is a great series of videos that will help you understand Music Theory. I had the honor to attend Icon Collective last year and watching these videos and helped me understand music theory even more.. ENJOY!!!!
