@dave_dresden called it “studio gym”. Getting back in the studio is just like that period when you first start working out again, it’s difficult. You need to find your rhythm and get your cardio back up. Warm your joints and get that muscle memory back. It’s a process and you cannot rush it.

Anytime you step away from creating you need to work yourself back into it. It’s been a few weeks now. I’m learning new plugins, new tricks, new sounds that have inspired me. Making loads of random shit that will no doubt end up in the half finished folder to die a slow death over time. But all of it serving that purpose.

After a little while you start to find vibes and sounds you like and gravitate towards them when starting a new track. This would be your style, your “sound”. Mine has always been chuggy and dark but emotional. At times full of despair and others full of hope.

I’m not quite there yet but feeling really good... How would you describe my production sound in a couple of words?

😍. So she walked up our driveway one day meowing like crazy and I just had to go to the store and get her some food.
.
She started coming every other day but never staying over. Slowly day by day she started spending more and more time in the house, getting more comfortable and more relaxed.
.
After two months I called the vet to come and give her shots and have her checked out and all good.
.
After another month of her spending about 20 hours a day at the house I decided to call the vet to have her fixed (it’s common here as there’s so many strays, see previous posts)
.
She chose me and she’s been attached at the hip for the last six weeks since... I could not be luckier as she’s amazing. Sleeps between my knees every night 💜

Editing tracks for tomorrow’s show.
.
Editing allows me to square off tracks for more cohesive 4 or 8 bar looping when performing live in Traktor. I also shorten most to 5:30 from the usual 7. Shortening them to that sweet spot keeps the energy up vs tracks dragging and allows me to fit more gems in the set 👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Cycles 319 will be posted tomorrow Sept 14 for the full moon 🌝

After at least two years of not making music (save the odd dabble) i’m starting fresh with the simplest of setups.
.
Moved to the countryside to isolate myself for a few months with just a laptop and a cat (that walked up my driveway and chose me lol)
.
Stripped back all self doubt and silenced the noise in my head.
.
Inspired to meditate, exercise, eat well, sleep well and write music...
.
.
Let’s see what the future holds...

Newspaper ad from 2001 🙌🏼 Sona was the most amazing club in its time. If you were around Montreal in those days you know.

Inspiration doesn’t care if the sun is shining. When it hits you write and write until you can’t any more... or until that sunset beer break is necessary to recharge. #producer #studio

20 years and counting in this business.
Got a little something to honour the music and the scene that’s given me my purpose in life.
