Betaphatsnot your ordinary broOf Oceans - In Love, Not Limbo
A track that I was recently introduced to, ambient music always had a certain kind of connection with me. Its almost as if I need not try to understand to understand. Then again, not every music is made to be understood. Its all about nodding your head to the music.. and if you like it. You like it. Soundcloud Meetup Singapore Updates

Data Howler - Voltage
Heres a preview of probably one of my favorite tracks in Data Howler's Slow Drifter Album. I've taken a stand to kickstart his project recently and amazingly, there was enough support for him to proceed on with making the mastering happen! You don't know how great a feeling it is to take a stand to help someone produce their crafts! If you like cinematic spacey hip hop glitchy ambient tunes, you will find yourself falling in love with Data Howler Like myself.. To me, I would think what had influence his sounds is somehow like a mixture of Nueva Forma's Ambient Collections , Ratatat eccentric glitchy beats, and much original spacey blues vibes that I would think what Ray Barbee would do . Of course this is just my opinion and I invite you to purchase his album and enjoy this magical journey together with me :) I feel like I'm already in space listening to this.
Focal Pro Studios
Sure enough, I was immediately overwhelmed by how beautiful his studio was and how much effort was spent to create such an awesome space! It almost felt like an excursion trip but nonetheless, listening to the sounds of high quality wav file never fails to bring a smile on my face. You can say that everything I ever wish to own is all practically there. A Mac pro, an apogee ensemble, and a drum set, acoustic panels .. A $10k studio monitors, I mean, It has even stuff I don't even know what it does .. Indeed the 8 years spent on building his studio ground up has inspired me. It's nice to know that everyone in the industry is awesomely well connected somehow. At least in my country it seems that way. Im now officially Caught in between the realm of Gears, Musicians, Technology and Masters. It makes me Realize that everything is indeed possible.. Could definitely use some drive to start picking up the musical instruments I've laid aside for these few months . Chez Moncef: Comparison of 6 Social Music Sites (Where will musicians go after MySpace?)I've Chance upon an Article that has been recently retweeted by Soundcloud and found this article rather informative and I thought I Reblog it. The Original Article can be found here Quoting Chez Moncef, Following the recent mass layoffs at MySpace, there have been several articles trying to analyze the situation and speculate about who will replace the void. Shockingly, very few of those articles mention SoundCloud: one of the major players in the online music space. Writing for paidContent, Joe Mullin thinks the “most logical destination” is Facebook, but “it doesn’t have the same tools to play or discover new music that made MySpace so popular for music fans.” Instead of talking about SoundCloud, which does have those tools and more, he mentions The Sixty One, Sellaband, Bandcamp, Pledge Music, Tunecore and last.fm. Tunecore and Pledge Music don’t belong in that bucket because they only focus on one specific aspect of the music business. All Tunecore provides is a paid service to distribute your music to various online stores. There is no music to listen to on Tunecore. Pledge Music is basically Kickstarter, but specifically for bands who are raising money for charity. That leaves those 4 other sites and SoundCloud. I’ll also throw in official.fm. I created an account on all of those sites, and I put together a comparison for you at the bottom of this post. I’m not a designer, so forgive the looks. For a larger version, download the PDF. If I missed any features or if you feel any of the information is wrong, please let me know and I’ll update it. As you can see, SoundCloud is the clear winner. They’re the only ones who offer the following features:
As a musician and a DJ, those are all must-haves for me. Their level of social engagement is also quite exceptional: SoundClouders of the Day, meetups, Local spotlights, recording sessions, active blogging, and online interaction with their users. It’s also worth mentioning that SoundCloud is a German company. When it comes to music software, the Germans have a proven record of stellar performance. Some of the top applications used by musicians are all made by German companies: Ableton, Native Instruments, and Steinberg. Logic Pro, used by music professionals all over the world, including hundreds of celebrities, was originally created by Emagic in Germany before being bought by Apple in 2002. If you’ve been using MySpace to showcase your music and to connect with other musicians and fans, give SoundCloud a try and thank me later.
