I’ve been working really hard on it and it’s finally here – the YAWA EP, “Soundtrack to the Apocalypse”. This is actually the first CD I’ve ever been a part of releasing so it’s exciting stuff for me!
I recorded, mixed, mastered, designed the artwork and ordered the CD myself – it’s been a hell of a learning experience and I’ll be sure to blog about it from the recording techniques to choosing a CD duplication company over the next few days!
My band You and What Army has been through a lot lately, so I thought I’d bring you up to speed!
We have recorded our first single and are in talks with organising signing to a new record label, since babycakes has proved notoriously difficult to keep in contact with.
Unfortunately, some of the members won’t be able to see the rewards from this, as the mormons Darren and Joe have decided to part ways with the rest of the band and go forth to their Mormon mission/ Tesco customer service desk callings in life.
However, this isn’t stopping YAWA – always move forward. We are on the lookout for a new bassist and a new guitarist, so if you are in the midlands (Near Telford) and play guitar/bass and are interested in being in a Rock Rap Rave band that will soon have it’s first single released, then send a message to our myspace or even just comment here!
The MPC1000, being a massively versatile sampler, has a ton of effects on it (Even more with the upgraded JJOS), and two sliding controllers with which to operate these live. However, the Kaoss Pad, apart from looking a lot more impressive, has got even more cool features that make it worth using in conjunction with the MPC1000. Here’s how I connect it in my electronics setup.
It’s slapped on anything popular and new in the music scene. The Klaxons are Nu Rave. Hadouken is Nu Rave. Enter Shikari are Nu Rave. Listen to those three and they are completely different; how can they all be this one thing?
