I'm a producer and a performer, yes. But some of my shows will now include a DJ set whether it's for an interlude or for an after-party. Let's mix it up party people!
I felt like Booka Shade spoke my mind when I listened to this interview:
"We never really thought about DJing, people know us for the live playing[...]. We stayed away from DeeJaying for a long time [...] cause we come from producer's backgrounds."

Here is my latest hip-hop track. This post will be the first of a series of rap instrumentals I produced throughout the years.
If you're a singer/rapper interested in using this instrumental, please let me know!
This is a preview of the song come on baby, that will be released in June on my upcoming album Quest.
Be prepared: this is gonna bump the clubs and the radiowaves!
As I finalize the master for my new album, Quest, I will publish articles about some of the songs.
We start today with a song that I particularly like and that may be released as a single later on, please welcome the "unskipable" number 2 on the track-list, New York!
I composed this song in January 2009 almost by accident. Although I had never been there, I had been dreaming about the big apple and fantasizing about NYC for about a week, when I found myself late at night experimenting with my synthesizer, looking for an original baseline. Something "pop" but that would stand out from the over-used "C-G-A-F" pattern (remember a good example of that is The Police"So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely..." among thousands of others).
Anyway, as I was trying to get away from this cadence I found a really cool baseline that fitted perfectly the imaginary vision that I had of New York. The words came naturally over the bass. It is the story of a couple who meet in Manhattan. They act as if they were in love but deep inside the passion seems to be lacking. They do not want to get into a passionate love that could be hurtful. Roses are commonly associated with love. Hence the analogy with the camellias: they look like roses but have no thorns; and even if they're not as pure, you can't get stung by them.
Take some time to listen to the track and follow the lyrics:
In the 70's and 80's, Jean Michel Jarre was a pioneer in the electronic and new age genres. In 2009, the pop band Black Eyed Peas releases a top selling album called The E.N.D. Producer Will.I.Am. said it was "greatly influenced by European electronic music".
After listening carefully to Black Eyed Peas' single "Imma be", two elements of the song seem to be a reference to Jean Michel Jarre's work:
A common synth line
In order to better show you what I mean, I made this sample that starts with the Black Eyed Peas track "Imma Be" then slowly fades out to reveal it's synth line. Then, Jean Michel Jarre's track "Magnetic fields 1" comes in and you will notice that the first chords of the song are exactly those of Imma Be's!
