Enjoy this deep-house oriented set by one of Singapore&#8217;s finest and behold of this composed artistry matched with an incredibly rhythmic intuition that can&#8217;t be learnt, but can be felt&#8230; and feel it you will.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\">Don&#8217;t miss out the free\u00a010-days download, directly from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/integrityrecords.sg\">Integrity Records<\/a>&#8216; vault and add it up to your collection. [Closed]<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">Where, when and how was this mix recorded?<\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\">This mix was recorded sometime in October 2016 using Live Intro (v1.1) and a first generation Novation Remote Zero SL Controller. Limited functions and really old ware as you can see but it does the job for me. I use this set-up at home for the recording of my dj mixes if time is not of the essence, otherwise it\u2019s usually CDs or Traktor Scratch Pro mix on the fly these days and on rare occasions Technics 1210s.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">How would you describe the mix to us?<\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\">I always struggle when selecting tunes for 1hr mixes or podcast as there are way too many tunes i\u2019d like to include in the mix. It\u2019s tough to give a true impression of my style accurately as I\u00a0play a wide range of styles from house to techno and anything in between. Having said that I\u2019d like to think this mix does gives a glimpse into the style of music that you\u2019d most likely here me play out at my gigs. A mix of the finest deep house to peak time mainroom cuts and beyond.. :)<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">You\u2019ve shared stages with so many artists, including R\u00f8dh\u00e5d, KiNK and Steve Lawler. When looking back, do you consider that these experiences were essential to your way of mixing music today?<\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\">I\u2019ve been a full-time dj for about to 20 years now and while I\u00a0am very grateful to have had the opportunity to play alongside these very talented artists, the only one out of the three you mention that might have in any way influence my way of mixing music today would have to be Steve Lawler. Steve during his early days at &#8216;Harlem Nights\u2019 @The End and his &#8216;Lights Out&#8217; mix series really did show me how long and wide a range a dj could play without sounding too in your face and self-indulging. He might not be as in demand as he used to be or \u2018artist of the year\u2019 but at his peak he was one of the best residents out there alongside Danny Tenaglia, Carl Cox, Sven Vath and a few others. Looking back, I\u2019d have to say that even though more than a few DJs have actually influenced me in one way or another, I\u2019ve always known exactly what kind of a DJ\u00a0I\u2019d like to be and have always worked hard to developed my own style early on in my career.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">You make music that seems of the genre that could be listened to for hours. You\u2019ve\u00a0even been awarded for your talent and\u00a0released on several labels such as Midnight Shift, Dig Deeper &amp; Get Physical. Since when did you start your amazing venture into music production and what inspired you in general?<\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\">I\u2019m really glad that you feel that way as my main goal in music production is to create timeless pieces of music, tracks that you could listen to years later and still be able to appreciate it regardless of what\u2019s in fashion at that point in time. I actually started venturing into music production very late on in my career, had my first release out in around 2009 on the Japan based label \u2019Nohashi\u2019 founded by acclaimed House producer Toru Shimada who goes by a hundred of monikers when producing, in which I\u00a0also happened to have found out about after I\u00a0heard his track &#8216;RRR&#8217; on Steve Lawlers \u2018Lights Out\u2019 mix under his &#8216;UN7\u2019 alias.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\">Anyway, I\u00a0was fascinated by the special edits that I\u00a0hear other guest djs play out during their sets and thought that it would be really cool if I\u00a0could do my own edits too. This was probably around 2001, I\u00a0later got myself a copy of Sony&#8217;s Acid Pro thereafter and started messing about . Over a year later i had a couple of edits that sounded pretty good by my standards but it wasn&#8217;t until I\u00a0played one of them out at a festival here in Asia that a Global Underground artist, I\u00a0can\u2019t really recall who is who now, but it was either Pako or Frederick who came by and asked me which remix version i was actually playing because he has the same track but didn\u2019t have the version he just heard. I told him that it was an edit that I\u00a0did and he said he really loved it and asked if it was cool that I\u00a0gave him a copy, I\u00a0was so excited that I\u00a0gave him the only copy I\u00a0had then immediately. That moment gave me a boost in confidence that maybe if I\u00a0put some time in music production i could actually take this edit thing further, and for the next few years I\u00a0just really learned from any resource that was available. I was lucky to have had some help along the way from one or two friends who had some experience as well. A friend of mine &#8216;Kenny Wee&#8217; who ran the Pure Substance record label also gave me my first break as an official remixer during my learning years which I\u2019m forever grateful for but it wasn&#8217;t until i won the Get Physical Music remix competition in 2009 that I\u00a0was really inspired and thought, maybe, I\u00a0could really do this whole music production thing. And the rest as they say is history.<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">Your new EP, \u2018Back 2 Basics\u2019, is out on Integrity Records and features tracks with exceptional rhythms wrapped in a deep beat-structure\u2026 it\u2019s practically a killer. Well where did the title of the EP come from? What is the meaning behind?<\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\">Thank you, it\u2019s always great to have such lovely feedbacks about my music. When I\u00a0started the label, I was thinking about the music format and how I\u00a0can develop as an artist and grow the label as well in the long run. I didn\u2019t wanna be stuck to a certain style or sound or only release music that\u2019s in fashion and i figured that if I\u00a0started from scratch, I\u00a0would have more room to grow both the label and myself. With that in mind I\u00a0went and back tracked my career path and the influences that have helped shaped who I\u00a0am as an artist today. I thought that would be a great idea and the perfect title to kickstart the labels first release, &#8220;Back2Basics&#8221;. As for the meaning behind the release, I\u00a0would prefer to leave it open to interpretations and have decided to leave you with this instead.. \u201cIn a time when the world is telling us which way to go and how to live, it is good to remind ourselves of the basic principles of living&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 800;\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"m_-4509805075007098513gmail-\">Tell us a bit about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tbr-mixmaster.com\/\">TBR.Mixmaster<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tbr-mixmaster.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2203 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/electrocaine.com\/podcast\/podcast2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TBR-1.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TBR-1.jpg 640w, https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TBR-1-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/TBR-1-480x157.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nTBR. Mixmaster is an online mixing, mastering and vinyl cutting service that i officially started in 2015. I noticed there was a lack of resource for independent electronic artists and labels here and those who choose to get their work professionally mastered or vinyl cut by a professional were paying unusually more than the usual industry rates for some reason. Friends and labels that i was working with here also had little understanding about this side of the business so i decided to do something about it. I felt that with my experience i could help those (especially those starting out) who are keen on taking their production quality to the next level without breaking the bank. I have to say this though, apart from a handful of artists here, the majority still chooses to send their work elsewhere even though they are spending thousands of dollars only to achieve similar results (imo). I sincerely wish artists here were more forthcoming as 70% of the artists and labels i have serviced are based internationally and not local. Having said that, i\u2019m proud to say that in the last year or so, we have been delivering affordable, digital and vinyl mixes\/masters for artists such as Andreas Gehm, Francois K, Mike Dunn, KiNK, Basic Soul Unit, Amelie Lens, Kirk DeGiorgio, Whitesquare, Lele Sacchi, Karim Sahraoui, Marco Bernardi, LFDM, NT89, Rivet and many more. Hit me up and give us a shot if you require any of these services, i offer special rates for Albums\/EPs and Compilations to Indie artists and labels.. :)<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m-YETdGpjqA\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"font-weight: 800;\">Could you name 5 records that contributed in moulding the artist that you are today?<\/h5>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\">This would be a tough one.. far too many records that played a part but i\u2019ll try to name the first few that comes to my mind..<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C5xX8krgxmA\" width=\"640\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZUKMe-cdUoE\" width=\"640\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KJxJxr9RlKM\" width=\"640\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xwVfA7aWGWM\" width=\"640\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px !important;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NtNkhZMuzTI\" width=\"640\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tracklist: X1 &#8211; Tangente a l\u2019Ouest Trevor Deep Jr &#8211; Merge AD\/D &#8211; High Harmonix Butch &#8211; Jack The System Eagles &amp; Butterflies &#8211; X Josh Wink &#8211; Denial ( LB Dub Corporation Remix) Pig &amp; Dan &#8211; Growler Truncate &amp; Jimmy &#8211; Submission (Truncate Rework) Surgeon &#8211; Search Umwelt &#8211; Unreleased Jack Master &#8211;&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2209,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":""},"categories":[110],"tags":[172,18,174,173,38,20],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/ElectrocaineSession073-EddieNiguel_600.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/s1yMKD-073","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2198"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2198"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2198\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4205,"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2198\/revisions\/4205"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electrocaine.com\/sessions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
