Slugabed

I randomly stumbled across Slugabed. I was browsing myspace and saw him on somebody else's top 8 (or whatever it's called nowadays). He's part of a genre which I believe is called post-dub-step. His music is head scratching to say the least. He creates vastly unique sounds that are always interesting sounding. The thing that is really strange about him is what I heard elsewhere described as his off kilter beats. All of his music doesn't neccesarily seem like it's in time with all the other elements. When you listen to the song Quantum Leap it doesn't seem like all the elements are really moving at the same tempo, but it all somehow works. Sometimes I can't tell if Slugabed knows nothing about music, or he's a music genius.

Make sure to check out his new ep Ultra Heat Treated. And his remixes of Rick James - Superfreak, and ODB - Got your money. As well as this remix of La Roux.

La Roux - In For The Kill (Slugabed Remix)

Also Check out his criminally underviewed video for Quantum Leap. Which is one of the coolest music videos I've seen in a long time. The world needs more head banging cats.

Synth Army & Other Stories

As far as my actual music is going. I'm a in a little bit of a funk at the moment. I can't quite make anything that sounds right, Hopefully the new tools will help with that. The Ocarina Of Time remix project is coming along. I've got the basics of each track constructed, and I need to refine them all and then compile them all into one big mix. Oh yah. I need to name it as well. I let my brother listen to a bunch of bits from it, and he didn't seem to hate it, so that's a good sign.

I haven't been recording much original stuff recently. The files for my new song got corrupted due to user error, so I pretty much have to scrap that song (it's ok though, it wasn't that great, I was already thinking about relegating to being a b-side). I think I'm going to start recording some new stuff this week though.

I still need to get that Kid Cudi remix out as well. Hopefully sometime in the next week or two. I kind of want to wait to work on it until I get my KP3. In other news...

Just bought a (kinda) new synthesizer. It's a casio CZ-3000. It's a beast. Found it used at Guitar Showcase for just over a 100 bucks. I also included a pic of all my synths in one area. I picked up a Korg KP3 off of eBay as well. That should be coming in the mail some time soon.

I got a ton of new music yesterday, and I thought I'd post what I'm listening to at the moment:

Starscream - Future And It Doesn't Work












Slugabed - Ultra Heat Treated EP












Minus The Bear - Omni
