I'm in a house music producing contest where the winner gets to play with the biggest name in electronic music at one of his shows. Deadmau5. You also get the remix signed to his label if you win.

So if any of you guys could give me some votes it would be greatly greatly appreciated. All I need right now is 20 or so votes to get in the top list (some people are up there with only 16 votes) and if I'm in that list I can get more people listening and potentially voting.

All you have to do is go here:

Thank you to anyone who votes!

Plus you were able to go on the beta forums. And yes I still have the game on my computer. When you launch the icon it brings you to their website to login.

I need to sign up for text alerts.

Wow. You guys are sick at what you do! I'm testing out phase 4 and its awesome. Will let you know if I find any bugs. That is if I can get passed this riddle. I SUCK at riddles.

Yeah I'll post in the randomness thread. Completely off the subject but is there anyone who can do a signature like the ones you guys have for me? They look sick.


Back to the subject I'm signed with Cobalt Records/Special Recordings (same label) and Wish Industry. I'm not doing any shows yet but I know I deserve to. The local scene hates the shit out of me lol. They wouldn't book me for a show if their life depended on it.

The story with them is ever since I first started they told me I sucked and should give up. Told me to f off and quit dance music. This is back when I was just a DJ. They gave me one booking and I ripped it so hard. The entire dancefloor was screaming and filled with people. No one was standing around. The local DJ's are notorious for boring the crowd. People stand around all night.

Then I started producing and they of course told me I blew and to quit. It ended up just being blah blah blah all day from them. Next thing I know I got signed by a small label called Zer0 Digital. I did a release with them and it charted number 10 on junodownloads.com for that week. They never paid me. I got in a huge arguement with the label head and that was it. lol.

Got picked up by cobalt and wish industry shortly after. Wish Industry will eventually be handling my bookings. They're doing a tour right now with an act from brazil. Their ads are in dj mag brazil too so its pretty sweet.

Right now I'm just chillin back making music. Preparing a release for Cobalt as we speak.

Here's my tiny itty bitty studio:



Oh yeah and I used to mess around with tons of sample packs and layer sampled stuff back and forth but nowadays its all about synthesis.


Here's what my workspace looked like when I was using samples:


Here's what it looks like with synthesis:


Each one of those orange bars is a VSTI synth.
