First production release just dropped!

Big thanks to Whoisbriantech for the opportunity and guidance (and to Ize for creating some bangin' stems in the first place!)

TECH NOTES:
Remix was produced in Reason 13.
The acid line was programmed manually on my Roland TB-03, with k**b automation signals programmed into a MIDI track on Reason, and then playback recorded separately.

Available for download on Traxsource. The Follow Up With Da OG From NYC, Isaac Ize Santiago Gave it up to Tech22 with the Hot Sinster K*t How We Do and Now The follow up with Exclusive Remixes By WhoisBriantech And Introducing Dj Highstone.....

Next big one — June 15, noon to 1am, 2 or 3 stages, amazing local and regional talent, lights, and sound, at an awesome venue.
This event has it all: booze, food, dubs, wubs, wooks, indoor plumbing, something will probably be on fire, lasers, loud noise, a large parking lot, more bass than the adirondacks.

Stylus replacement and lesson learned.

makes two different stylus replacements for their Concorde series (the basic and the MK2) They look nearly the same and even use the same color scheme.

I had to replace my styli last year and _thought_ I chose the correct ones (i didn’t have the box my carts came in) It was pretty apparent I chose incorrectly! (2nd pic). I thought maybe this was expected or that I just did it incorrectly. In addition to the obvious poor visual fit, there was a bit more sound transfer happening - the stylus was a bit more sensitive. More pops and crackles too.

Several months later while doing another order I found the correct styli — perfect fit. Sound probs resolved too.

Lesson learned!

(Big ups to for the fast replacements - 2 gigs this weekend!)

Added a new demo from a set I did on whoisbriantech's radio show (Abusia Radio) last year. Some dark / atmospheric D&B. It's been a bit of an earworm for me lately -- some real ones on here.

Sat Feb 24, Here in Ithaca, at CSMA!

https://www.facebook.com/events/1049101952821785/

Returning to the Ithaca Underground fundraiser, sharing a stage with some fantastic talent (from near and far). Ithaca Underground is an incredibly critical cornerstone of our local music scene, intersectional of many genres and performances.

This annual fundraiser helps to make these events possible, keeps the quality high, and the sound loud. CSMA is a comparably important local music cornerstone.

Come down and support! I’m packing a crate with some acid techno.
