CITYHOPPER is a video project starring Dutch Rollerblade phenom Sven Boekhorst. All in the name of testing out his new Rollerblade SB Pro skate.

Here’s two of my favorite music/dj items in life: Maya Jane Coles and the Allen & Heath Xone:DB2. (And yeah, one of her own productions is featured as well. )

Being that the Keytar has reached cult status, these things were hard to come by, as that they were no longer manufactured on a high scale.

Many of you will be glad to hear that Alesis has developed a MIDI variant of the keytar, branding it Vortex.

Here’s my man Ean Golden showing of his skills!

Just got my Kontrol S4 back from Daniel, so I got some nice times ahead!

I had just the MIDIfighter for a short period, as I was trying to get my new studio in order. But as one might expect I could not just keep it at that.
This is what I am aiming for ultimately ofcourse:

 

 

First things first though. I will most probably go and raid the local Ikea to purchase a 4×2 Expedit cabinet, some Capita legs, and some isolating floor panels so that I can finally start building my studio in the attic.

Next to this Daniel(James Dan) and I will be finally setting up a firm basis for RSTRCTDnl. This will become the home stomping ground of our Restricted Sessions, that will also be featured on SimplyRadio’s Simply Electro.

Production-wise 2012 will also be a nice and challenging  year. The liquid d&b(Sparkling Tree) project Daniel and I are working on is working to be a promising track. Mastering and EQing will take place this week.
If this works out to be the fine track we think it to become, we will be talking experimental projects that can work out into a musical expedition not yet encountered!

More on all of this as it will develop of course.

After all the previous posted Work in Progress tracks, I decided to share one of my own.

Rough skeleton is set, details need to be added.

This track keeps me busy even though I am a bit stuck about its’ direction.

Through the power of teh intarwebz, I bring you People Power, an awesome remix DJ Shiftee did for 350 Radio Wave to help build momentum for the United Nations 2011 Climate Talks in South Africa. The original features Talib Kweli, Jabba, Zolani, Zap Mama, Angelique Kidjo and more.
