Breaks ‘n’ Beats Podcast # 5

1 Comment

SUBSCRIBE VIA iTunes.

Yes, I know, this is looooong overdue: a new episode of my Breaks ‘n’ Beats Podcast – now reaching episode 5. It’s downloadable of course, as always – just follow the link to Soundcloud. You can also listen get it or subscribe via iTunes.

The main theme for this one is music by great, talented guys you probably haven’t heard that much of. Being a DJ, I’m in a privileged position, since I constantly get sent music by both established artists and labels as well as those who haven’t released much music or/and who are spending their first years with music production. It’s often in the music of artists (if you keep making art and love it, you’re an artist in my book…I don’t measure success) who haven’t been making music for very long where you hear something very fresh, something you probably haven’t heard very many times before. Something non-formulaic, something creative and ground-breaking, something you’d like to hear more of. Continue reading Breaks ‘n’ Beats Podcast # 5 →

Ableton Live lesson text hack

I figured out how you can edit the Lesson Text fields in Ableton Live. I created an empty project which will hopefully demonstrate to you, too, how it works. Download the Ableton Live lesson text hack project to find out how to do it.

Feel free to share this with other Abletonians, for this is actually a useful feature if you want to share your projects and add a bit of personal info about yourself, write info for a collaborator, do an informative set for a workshop, create a tutorial, etc.

Happy text-hackin’…get crackin’!

Giving something back to the producer community: analog bass samples

Just to give something back to the community…the bass-loving community!

Grab the samples here!

This is a pack of bass sounds I’ve recorded from my analog Microbrute synth. It’s a small, monophonic beast that creates some pretty hefty bass sounds. The sounds in the pack are not anything super dirty, but they have nice (over)tones that will cut nicely thru your mix, and also, they should be something you can sculpt into many different shapes yourself.

LIGHTLESS006 OUT NOW

2 Comments

I’m glad to tell you that LIGHTLESS006 is out today (as of Sept. 15). The manufacturing of this one really tested everybody’s faith and some bad karma was definitely in the air, but not giving up is often worth the struggle in the end, and you know what they say: some of the best things won’t come easy.

I’m super stoked and proud to present this one to you, as I believe it’s one of the strongest releases I have put out on my label to date. It has received support from respected DJs such as Laurent Garnier, Grooverider, and Om Unit, and I hope you like it, too.

You can listen to it on Soundcloud.
To buy vinyl, head to Juno, Redeye, my Bandcamp, Boomkat, Hardwax, or any other major bass music store of your choice.
To buy digital, check my personal Bandcamp page, Digital Tunes, Beatport, iTunes, or any store selling electronic music.

Thanks to everybody for the on-going support…there’s a lot more music in the pipeline!

Yours truly,
Janne Fanu.
