Hi all,

Just trying to figure out how Im going to play my music live in a convincing manner with good showmanship, without looking like one of these 'laptop djs' (kinda hard when all Ive got is a laptop and a korg nanopad so far) - the thing is - I make all my music using just my laptop (FLstudio ...

so easy to lose inspiration when your parents tell you to 'get a real job and stop making music all day' - I really fucking hope gigging my planned EP will be paying the rent next time they visit - thanks for taking the wind out of my sails when Ive got a deadline to meet - yeah, a welding job will ...

hey guys, maybe Im getting cabin fever having nothing to do but scrutinize my own music all day, but I feel like maybe the beats in my new songs sound too canned - theyre mostly mixed and chopped up samples and beats from downloaded pre-made loop packages - cause Im having real trouble with making ...
