(Oi) You Need To Hold It Down!

HennyMan strikes again!

A take on the summer sound of 2016, a struggle between techno and house with some tribal feels (as always with HennyMan). An to spice it up, a little UK twist (Streets vox sampled). Not being a true conoisseur of genre I label it as tech house. Enjoy.

Best Content Marketing

Everyone talks about content marketing but many seem to miss the whole point. You need to have content that is relevant and excites your (potential) customers. No boring or dull stuff. And content should not be (just) about your product, but about something that is interesting and in some context with your brand. LANDR is my favourite example of a brand that does it really well.

LANDR is a company that has a online audio mastering service. Ideal solution for musicians who are not yet pro, but would appreciate to have their music mastered well. A cool service, I suppose.

But what they have done is a blog that has content that is useful and relevant when it comes to recording and making your own music. Tips, hints and reviews may not be a new thing, btu they have just done this really well.

You should follow them now!

What comes out of Detroit?

Cars and techno of course. These guys recorded some sounds from a Ford Fusion and made some tracks out of them.

It's the big bad wolf

Last weekend of July, so let's howl!!!! Thump, thump!

Digital Album Covers

Nowadays more than nine out of ten of all singles sales are made in digital form, for albums that figure is reversed. Therefore Sony, Warner, Universal and EMI are soon starting to launch digital album covers that inlcude "computerised version of the sleeve notes that come as standard with a CD, including lyrics and artwork, and videos"

Nice idea, but let's see if has any effect on the changed consumer behaviour. I mean, the music album is a concept created in the 60's and the world has changed a lot since.

DJing to the masses

Once again, it comes from Sweden. This one's called Pacemaker. It's a handheld portable DJ-gear to democratise the DJ culture. Good be nice add on to those summer picnics.

And yes, one of the master minds behind this is Stakka Bo... Y'all remember this hit from the past?
