fabric 46 - Claud Vonstroke

Dirtybird Records founder, DJ, and producer Claude Vonstroke is on deck to deliver the latest and greatest edition of the fabric series of mixes. We are looking forward to this. Will be in shops in the UK on May 11th and in the US on June 2nd.

“Around 2001, I moved in with a high school buddy of mine to Oakland, and we started going to crazy raves. I was working on my third career then, editing commercials for a post-production TV house. They had all this great equipment at the edit house, so I had this idea. [Up to that point] I had created all this original music but nothing ever happened with it, because I didn’t really know what to do after the music was done. I never really learned when I was a kid because no one was there to mentor me. So I thought to myself, ‘When I was 16 and getting into music, what would’ve been the ultimate instructional video that I could’ve watched?’ I came up with the idea for this DVD, to interview the most famous DJs in the world: asking them how they became famous, how they make music technically, how they run their label, all of that. I ended up interviewing 50 people, from Paul Van Dyk to Derrick May to Orbital, everyone. After two years, I didn’t have enough money to license the music, and I needed to have a piece of music playing under each interview. So Justin Martin, Nigel Richards (from 611 Records), this trance guy from Sweden and I made all of the music for the whole DVD by imitating the sound and style of each interviewee. That’s how I learned to make house music.” – Claude VonStroke

Calvin Harris - I’m Not Alone

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

After a bit of a drought, there have been a slew of fantastic new tunes hitting our inbox in the past few weeks! Calvin Harris has a new full length coming our way soon. The first single ‘I’m Not Alone’ is getting massive support on Radio 1. Deservedly so. This is a bit of a departure from his previous production work but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. We are predicting this one will be one of the biggest singles of 2009. Forthcoming release will include remixes by Deadmau5 and Hervé. There are a number of blogs that have posted a version of this tune but its not the final mix. Check it out though and take a look at the video below to get a feel for how big this is going to be.

The VCM-600 provides 160 controls including dedicated EQ and filter sections, clip launch capabilities, transport controls, sends/returns and more. Puts the power of Ableton Live at your fingertips like never before. The VCI series was designed with JOG wheels to duplicate turntable operation. On the other hand, the VCM-600 is a controller specialized for mixing, which offers excellent performance to digital DJs and computer based systems. The VCM-600 shares the same quality control parts used on Vestax mixers and 2 LED panels are placed on each side of the controller to illuminate the top panel for clear vision in clubs.

Via Billboard:

Daft Punk, the French electronica duo known for their robot personas, have been tapped by Walt Disney Pictures to compose the score for “TR2N”, an update of the studio’s 1982 science fiction classic “Tron”, Billboard has confirmed.

The film, currently in production, is tentatively scheduled for a 2011 release.

The “TR2N” score marks Daft Punk’s first foray into the studio since 2005’s “Human After All.” After an extended hiatus, the duo reemerged in 2007 for an extensive world tour, spawning the Grammy-wining live set “Alive 2007.” The group’s 2001 track “Harder Better Faster Stronger” was adapted by Kanye West for his single “Stronger,” and the pair appeared on the 2008 Grammy Awards with the rapper.

The musicians, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter split their time between Paris and Los Angeles, where they have have assembled a new recording studio for the TR2N project.

Sneak peek from Comic Con of the first trailer for the film. This is going to be big!
