thanks for the clairification .. :)

I think Deadfunk is right in a certain way.. Electro is more of a sound rather than a style. Kinda like Trance in a way, where anything with a melody can be classified under trance music.

It just gets confusing when you have a vocal track with melodies and electro sounds.. lol. !!

As for recommendations, well, check out "Push Rec+play" for some dirty electro !! :p

AMEN !!

never heard of him.. he must be Milas's brother !

By GT, i mean Grand Turismo !!!

how come some of the tracks don't say "Scott Brown" next to them ? i'm just asking cause it said 100% scott brown .. are those his side projects or something ?? :)

it really depends on what types of games you like.. sure, xbox has 100's of games already on the market, but yet, all those games are like clones of eachother. They are all first person shooter type games that i am sure you could already find on your home PC. PS3 offers still a few exclusive games such as FF13 + GT to name the most popular.

BlueRay is the next gen of technology in CD developement meaning that microsoft is most certainly in the works in making another console to top-up to the PS3.

I picked up the PS3 for FF13 only. and to me, its enough.

its not always about quantity, but quality !!!

J'reviens pas que tu te crois autemps comme producteur de musique. Ces toi qui chante dans "tes" tounes ? ces toi qui ecrite (oui oui, ecrite) la musique ?? faire du "copy/paste" dans soundeforge ces pas ecrire du beat mon gars.

get a life !

ROck on ColdGroove !!

lol.. thanks James.. you just wrote my bio in french for me.. hahaha :D

Donc Mr Dj qui produite.. comment tu fait pour produire tes beats (cree tes super rythms) avec l'equipement mentionnez si haut ?? HUmm?? Tu prends donc tes CD's et tu tapp dessu avec ton micro?? Ou p-e tu prends ton casque d'ecoute et tu frappe ton ampli??

hehehe.. tu continue a te callez mon gars..

It depends really. if there is a parking lot (pavement), it should be free.. if car's are parked on land (grass) we should have to pay for parking because the money will most probably be used to repair the land !!

Awsome work Alex.. they gave you the rights to distribute there new album ?? that's totally awsome !

yeah.. meme si ils essaye, ils serais perdant !!

Whatever, i think he's much like Zidane and is trying to win the game by using his head !!! ;)

oups, je voulais dire que tu devrais utuliser ta tete pour y arriver, tout comme Zidane !!!

un remix ces quand tu donne credit a celui qui a fait la toune avant toi. :)

Interview with Protoculture

First off, I would like to thank you today for accepting to complete this pre-Eclipse Festival interview.

1. Please state your full name.

Nate Raubenheimer

2. How many years have you been working under the project name Protoculture ??

Since 2001, so about 6 years

3. Why did you choose the name Protoculture ?

It comes from a popular anime show called Robotech that I used to love as a kid (and still do by the way) Protoculture was an alien science, which eventually turns out to be human love and emotion.

4. How many albums have been released under this project name and on what labels?

I’ve done 2 studio albums, a dj compilation, and loads of singles for other compilations. The albums were released on Nano Records, but I’ve also done work for others such as Alchemy, White Label Republic, Gatecrasher, Mind Control, Turbo Trance, Tip, Exposure, Spiral Trax, BNE, and too many others to mention.

5. What was your first release and on what label?

That would be “Super Highway Samurai” on Spiral Trax in 2001

6. In the future, which label do you hope to release on.

I’m currently in the process of changing labels for the third studio album. I felt it would be good to have a change, and Im currently speaking with BNE, although we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

7. In your career, what track would you consider being your “biggest hit” and why??

It’s a toss up between “New Directions” or “Avalon”. I think “new directions” was the track that really put me on the map though…

8. What can we expect in the near future from Protoculture? Scheduled releases??

I’m currently working on the third album, not sure when it will be done though. I’ve also almost completed work on the Atomic Culture album, which features Protoculture and Atomic Pulse. Besides that I’ve got some other interesting collaborations in the pipeline, including some work with Binary Finary which should be very interesting.

9. Who made the best remix for one of your tracks ?

I have’nt ever given out too many tracks for remixing, but I think Atomic Pulse’s remix for “more directions’ was killer, as well as Pop Stream’s Remix for “circadians”.

10. If you were to play at any party in the world, which one would it be and why?

Its gotta be Japan, it’s the one place that Im always excited to visit. There’s such a wealth of interesting culture, cool people, amazing parties, and shops full of geek and tech toys.

11. Do you have any side projects besides Protoculture?

Yeah, Atomic Culture as mentioned before, as well as Sentrafuge, a progressive/electro/minimal/techno/house (whatever you want to call it) project which is currently released on Plastik Park.

12. With all the other artists you have worked with in the past, which one was your best experience?

I really enjoy working with Tamir from Atomic Pulse, we tend to see eye to eye on most stuff in the studio. I also enjoyed working with my good friend Rinkadink, but I think that’s due to the state of mind we were in at the time.

13. Will this be your first time to play at the Eclipse Festival?

Yes

14. What can we expect to hear from you at the festival and how long will your performance be?

My Live performance is usually between a hour or hour and a half. It’ll be featuring one or two of the new tunes for the new album, some other stuff which was recently been completed for compilation, a massive remix to binary finery’s “1999” and possibly one or two oldies thrown in for good measure.

15. Will you be staying to hear any other artists or do you expect to leave after your set?

I like to hang around if possible, usually I like to spend a bit of time at a party before my set. It all depends though, as due to a busy schedule, I’ve gotta be out of Canada on my way to Israel on the 30th.

16. What do you use to make music ?

Primarily a PC running Cubase SX 3, a bunch of plugins, with a Creamware Scope Fusion Platform. Additionally I’ve got some other hardware, including some synths from Waldorf, Novation, Freeform Analogue Technologies, Nord, and Roland, some outboard like fx and extra convertors, a Yamaha O2R mixer, Tc Powercore, and Genelec 8040 Monitors.

17. When you are not making music, what do you listen to ?

Pretty much anything. I love film soundtracks, and Im also quite big on electronica and other interesting yet more chilled out type stuff.

Well Protuculture, many thanks once again for taking the time to complete this with me here today. All the best to Protoculture and I can’t wait to hear your stuff at Eclipse Festival at the end of July in Quebec !!

Interview with Metalogic + Jamie Kidd

First off, I would like to thank you today for accepting to complete this pre-Eclipse Festival interview.

1.Please state your full names.
A: Frederik Hatsav and Jamie Kidd

2.How many years have you been working under the project name Metalogic ??
A: Metalogic was conceived in late 2000 by Frederik Hatsav. Michael Lawrence joined in 2002. In late 2006, Jamie Kidd joined the project, instigating an evolution in the Metalogic sound.

3. You have a very distinct style of electronica, how do you classify it??
A: We take influence from and try to incorporate our favorite elements of all electronic music, past and present.

4.What other artists inspired you to produce this specific sound ?
A: That list would go on for pages! Electronically speaking, Extrawelt, Tony Rohr, Surgeon, Richie Hawtin, Atom Heart, The Delta. For Fred, Alex Tolstey was his musical guru for years, influencing him since the beginning. Jamie brings influence and experience from a live music background – having performed and recorded as a bassist in various funk, jazz, and rock bands.

5. When you are not producing music what are you listening too?
A: Outside of electronic music – it’s impossible to list it all – lately, we have both been enjoying one of Mike Patton’s many projects, Peeping Tom.

6.What is your home studio?
A: Well … it has a huge board, a good collection of machines, and it can get hazy – this is no software studio.

7.In your career, what track would you consider being your “biggest hit” and why??
A: A dj favorite has long been ‘Magnetic Influence’ off the debut Metalogic album released by Boshke Beats Records. Most recently, the ‘Atom Eater’ ep from ADDON, a New York based label, has received much support from dj’s we all love. Also check out Fred and Alex’s latest 12”, The Rockitmen - Premier ep has just been released on Japan’s Gemini Recordings, which includes incredible artwork by Inga Burina.

8. In the future, which label do you hope to release on.
A: Good labels of course!

9.What can we expect in the near future from Metalogic? Scheduled releases??
A: Many releases are forth coming, check [ myspace.com ] for regular updates. (website coming soon)

10.If you were to play at any party in the world, which one would it be and why?
A: Metalogic performed live for the first time in Montreal at “Don’t Try This at Home” by Noerg, so it will always be one of the most exciting places in the world to share our music. We would honestly love to perform anywhere our music would be appreciated for what it is.

11.Do you have any side projects besides Metalogic?
A: Frederik continues to collaborate with Alex Tolstey and Michael Lawrence in ‘The Rockitmen’. Jamie balances between production work with Frederik and a hectic dj’ing schedule.

12.With all the other artists you have worked with in the past, which one was your best experience?
A: One of the best experiences has definitely been the two of us working together the past 10 months. The Rockitmen project for Fred is more like a family.

13. Will this be your first time to play at the Eclipse Festival?
A: Yes. We are more than happy to be a part of this!

14.What can we expect to hear from you at the festival and how long will your performance be?
A: This will be a live performance of all original well known Metalogic material remixed and blended with improvised effects and overdubs. Our new, driving, minimal sound will be infused with deep psychedelicia, specially arranged for this event.

15. Will you be staying to hear any other artists or do you expect to leave after your set?
A: How could we leave such a beautiful landscape! We look forward to hearing what the other artists bring to this festival and how inspiring the culture will be for those 3 days.

Well Fred, many thanks once again for taking the time to complete this with me here today. All the best to Metalogic and I can’t wait to hear your stuff at Eclipse Festival at the end of July in Quebec !!
