The Art / The Art of Techno (CD series) downloads

« on: April 09, 2006, 10:46:40 pm »

Here are download links for those of you who haven't heard this series.

Information
This series was started when I was in high school.  The first two CDs were made using Winampo and a crappy wave recorder, but sold over 300 copies at $5 each, and were so popular that when I came to college and was rushing fraternities, I discovered that my CDs were even popular there!

The third CD was the first to be mixed with turntables, and the fourth CD was the first that I considered truly "good".  From then on, as my skill and equipment quality have increased, I have continued making CDs.  My eighth, which I made in November '05, I consider to be my best.

Enjoy, and remember - spread my name!  

Links
The Art of Techno - Dreams in the Nyte The fourth CD in the series, this is all progressive trance.
The Art of Techno - Living in the Moment The fifth CD in the series, this one is...well, nuts.  Hard progressive trance, hard trance, and hard house, with 22 tracks in 72 minutes, double-drops, a little scratching...don't drive with this in the car.  Most impressive thing about this CD?  It was mixed with TERRIBLE gear (Numark TT-1520 turntables and a Numark DM1001X mixer)
The Art of Techno - Urban Voices The sixth CD in the series, there are vocals in every track.  With a more relaxed, house feel, along with some breaks in the middle ending with just a touch of trance, this is an excellent background CD, and is the favorite of many.
The Art of Techno - Demonstration The seventh CD of the series, this is closest in spirit to the 4th CD.  Listen and enjoy.
The Art of Techno - As Autumn Leaves Mixed live on Party107, this eighth CD in the series has the smoothest mixes and (in my opinion) flows the best of the progressive trance CDs.  Mixed in November 2005, nearly every track on the CD had been released within a month.  My personal favorite.

Enjoy!

Hi all,

Been a long break for me, but I've got time, and that means tunage!  This week you'll be listening to progressive trance, mostly from 2006 but also stuff from as early as 1997.  As always, the show will be live, so you can chat with me in the Party107 chatroom.  Also as always, the tracklist will be posted at the end of the show.

Hope you enjoy!

DJ Talk / Mix Submission / Production techniques

« on: November 10, 2005, 10:38:26 pm »

Hi all,

So I've attempted producing with Reason, and I have like eight half-finished ones.  My problem is two-fold:

1. I just can't seem to get Reason to make the sound that's in my head.  I can get it to make plenty of cool sounds, just not the RIGHT ones.  Does anyone else have this problem?
2. It takes sooooooooo bloody long to finish a track.  My tracks are always rather complex anyway (complicated melodies, 4-5 synths running at a time until the middle, when something unique happens, etc) and I get bored and frustrated and never come back to it.

I've noticed that we have a few people on here who have produced something that got pressed, so I was hoping I could get some advice/tips/etc, e.g.
What do you use to produce?
Can you get it to make the sounds that are in your head?
Is it boring/frustrating actually completing a track, and if so, how do you get yourself to complete it?
How do you get in contact with a label?
How does the monetary stuff work with a label?
Anything else?

Thanks!
Myd

Computer restarted, so I doubt yousendit finished.  You mentioned you could set up an ftp?  That would probably be the fastest way to get these CDs transferred.  If you can, email me the details.  If not, there's always DCC

Trance / The Best Song of 2005

« on: November 09, 2005, 09:40:35 pm »

Personally I think the end of 2005 is having AWESOME releases.  Heck, most of my 8th CD is made up of absolutely spectacular tracks, and all but two tracks of it is in the last month!  I gotta put my vote to Love Theme Dusk though, soooo beautiful.  Zonderland's awesome for the energy though (Carl B mix).

Cool cool, let me know how to send you the files.
Also, bout recording CD8 live, is there time Friday between 6-9pm PST where I could get like 75-80mins in?  If not, I can always just record it and send it to you - I just need to get it recorded fairly quick, since all but two tracks on it are less than a month old and that makes for a popular CD  

Nice to see you again

Hey guys,

Sure has been awhile, love the new site!  Emailing of username/password doesn't seem to work though - it still has drew_thesgt@yahoo.com in there somewhere, but when I asked to get my info, no email was ever sent *shrugs*

Anyways, on to the interesting stuff.  Which of my CDs do you have?  As in, do you have numbers 6 (Urban Voices) and 7 (Demonstration)?  If not, simply reply and I'll get them sent to you.  Also, I have CD8 figured out, and was thinking about recording it while spinning on Party107, now that I have a tiny bit of time to spare.  What do you think?

Tracklists of the three CDs are below.  CD6 is a chillin', almost vocal trance/house...kinda hard to describe.  CD7 is flat-out club.  CD8 is pure 'epic' trance.  Let me know what you think, feedback is good!

Other than that...uhhh...hi again
