what about alfredo ?? did you even consider that ? :p

Hahahaha.. i noticed the same thing.. lol.. :p

If you are going to review a mix, at least do it properly. Here, let me review it for you .

- first mix start's at 4:00, it's a little bumpy but quickly recovered. second track come's in a little strong due to the breakdown in the first track but come's back about 12 seconds later with the bassline of the first track still very present. couple of adjustments made to keep mixes together without too much notice (but still noticeable at times). At 6 minutes, into the mix the second track starts taking place and become the primary track. At 6:40, the first track obviously come's back for it's dying 20 seconds until the second track take's over again. That transition wasn't too clean i have to admit. @ 7:55 into the mix, finally the first track disappears completely and shorly after that the second track falls into a breakdown.
- third track starts around 10:35ish and kicks in pretty quickly but unless you know both tracks, it's hard to tell that it's a new track. This mix wasn’t nearly as long as the previous mix, nor did it have to be.
- 14:50, hear subtle new sounds, possibly a mix, a quick offbeat happens but is recovered without using Fx’s. 15:38, new track kick’s in pretty strong as both track’s blend. Around 16:34, end of mix and last sign of previous track.
- At 20 minutes, another transition starts (hard to tell as the power of the out-coming track is very strong and present). 20:45, in-coming track’s bassline kick’s in over the exiting track. Dj goes back and forth between both track’s basslines a couple of times at appropriate timeframes. 21:40, in-coming track starts to take all the room. 22:00, end of that mix.
- 26:15, you can hear the high’s of the new track coming in as, slowly, it starts to take form. I particularly like this transition a lot as it’s very hard to tell there was a mix. 27 mins, tracks breakdown together and mix ends around 27:25 as in-coming track builds back up and kicks in.
- 31:14, during the breakdown, you can hear the high’s of the upcoming track. When it start’s up again, the hat’s of new track are still present and are now primary groove over the out-coming track. 32:35 is when the new track kick’s in at high level’s. 33:04, mix ends.
- 37:00, new mix starts off ( I think, it’s hard to tell). 37:19, you can hear more of incoming track. 37:49, both track’s breakdown together and kick up again at 38:07 but with a lot less of of out-coming track as it fade’s away since it was the end of the track.
- 42:29, still no new track since 38:07.. Weird, I though tracks were only suppose to last 90 seconds…..
- 42:42, ohh here it is, I was getting worried that we might have ended up hearing the entire track in this set, fiew.. 43:35, new track starts taking it’s place. 43:57, mix ends.
- 47:00, still no new mix.. ahh ohh, sign’s of another long track, damn those techno artists making 7 minute tracks. *rolls eyes*
- 48: 15, new mix starts and is off-beat for two kicks before recovery. 48:48, in-coming track’s bassline takes control but outcoming track is still very present. 49:46, close to end of mix as you can hear old track slowly fading away as new track progresses.
- 53:24, the final mix starts as high’s come in over track. A little bumpyness for about 3 seconds but, again, quickly recovered. 54:28, mix ends during a breakdown and final track kick’s back in full throttle. This mix was a little sloppier than many of the other transitions.

Please, feel free to review your own mix and state start and end time of your mixes so we can identify where and when they happen if you feel the need to compete at something again…

UPDATE : there aren't many 10$ tickets left in stores..

Interview with Tegma

First off, I would like to thank you today for accepting to complete this pre-Eclipse Festival interview.

1. Please state your full names.

-Omar Chelly and Jason Orfanidis

2. What are your nationalities?

We are Swedish.

3. How many years have you been working under the project name Tegma??
4.
We started with the Tegma project in the beginning of 2000, so it has been 7 years now. However our first release was in 2001.

5. Where did the name Tegma come from?

One day we were sitting in the reception of a hotel (Omar’s part-time job back then), and we were trying to find a name for our new project. We looked around us a bit and we discovered a first-aid kit which was labeled TEGMA. Somehow we both looked at it simultaneously and said TEGMA!, the rest is history like they say…

6. How many albums have been released under this project name and on what labels?

We have released three albums so far, the first was on Swedish label Digital Structures, second on Greek label Candyflip and the last one was on Czech label Tribal Vision.

7. After owning all three of these albums, I can say that none of them follow the same musical direction nor have you found a “mother label” to work with. Can you explain this a little?

Our idea of an album is that every album should be unique in its own way, thus not repeating the sound you explored on the previous album. For the first album we worked with Digital Structures and the sound of that album has an influence of clubbier sounds, (which was not so common back then, since most producers in the “prog-psy” scene were still producing the so-called minimal cowboy trance :)
However some disagreements between us and the label made us leave it…
The second album had more influences from psy sounds and older melodic trance influences, our goal was to create an album which would fit between progressive and full-on/psy, something of a middle ground. The co-operation between us and Candyflip was just a one-time deal and we didn’t have any plans to release anything else there…
For the third album we explored an idea which we have had for many years, to make an album with ethnic influences. It’s our biggest project until this day and we put a lot of effort and time into producing this album.
We chose to release it on Tribal Vision, because it’s a label with which we share a lot of common ideas and goals, and we intend to work with this label for the next couple of years…

8. What can we expect in the near future from Tegma? Scheduled releases??
We are now working on the fourth Tegma album, “Lo-Fi Adventures” and the planned release date is around November/December.

9. In the future, which label do you hope to release on.

The new album will be on Tribal Vision, as for other labels we don’t have any plans, but you never know about the future…

10. What was your first release and on what label?

Our first released track was “Doppelganger” and it was released on Danish label Creamcrop.

11. In your career, what track would you consider being your “biggest hit” and why??
Probably it was X-Calibur, as it was one of the most played tracks in 2001 and everybody knew about the track even if they weren’t familiar with Tegma…
12. Who made the best remix for one of your tracks ?

There hasn’t been so many remixes of our tracks but a favorite would be the recent remix of Spooked by Beauty and The Beat featuring Nuke.

13. If you were to play at any party in the world, which one would it be and why?
There are two major parties that we haven’t played at yet and those are Rainbow Serpent in Australia and Universo Parallelo in Brazil, we would love to play at both of them since they are located in very exotic and beautiful locations.

14. Do you have any side projects besides Tegma?

We used to have a project named Homer & Lazon , and it was a more club orientated project. However we unfortunately never had enough time to work on this project as we have other things going on in our life besides music…

15. Is it hard to make music since you are two brains and not one? are there ever any conflicts between you both in the studio? How do you guys work?
We work together as a team, and of course there are some conflicts every now and then, so sometime we have to compromise to reach an agreement.
For us it’s better because it’s always good to hear another person’s opinion and also combine two different musical tastes.

16. What does your studio consist of and where is it located?

It is located in Malmoe (where we both live), it’s located in an industrial area close to the harbour, so we can work undisturbed without any distractions around us.
We don’t have too much equipment, we have a pair of Dynaudio Active Monitors, a PC running Cubase SX with a bunch of VST synths and plugins, a Fostex Digital Mixer and two synthesizers; Novation Nova and a Korg Micro.
We also have the equipment we use for the liveset and that consists of:
Two laptops; A Macbook and a Macbook Pro, two midicontrollers, Echo Firewire Audio Cards and both laptops are running Ableton Live.

17. With all the other artists you have worked with in the past, which one was your best experience?

We haven’t really collaborated with any other artists in the studio, so unfortunately we have nothing to tell on this subject.

18. Will this be your first time to play at the Eclipse Festival?

Yes this will be our first performance in a North American Festival and we are very much looking forward to it.

19. What can we expect to hear from you at the festival and how long will your performance be?

We will probably play some tracks from the last album since the people in the festival haven’t heard us play these tracks yet, we will probably also put some new tracks from the upcoming album. The liveset will be around 80-90 minutes long…

20.Will you be staying to hear any other artists or do you expect to leave after your set?

We will stay on location a couple of days and most certainly we will listen to some of the artists and dj’s in the festival.

Well guys, many thanks once again for taking the time to complete this with me here today. All the best to you both and I can’t wait to hear your stuff at Eclipse Festival at the end of July in Quebec !!

Thank you for the interview and hope to see you all in the festival soon!

Interview with Metalogic + Jamie Kidd

First off, I would like to thank you today for accepting to complete this pre-Eclipse Festival interview.

1.Please state your full names.
A: Frederik Hatsav and Jamie Kidd

2.How many years have you been working under the project name Metalogic ??
A: Metalogic was conceived in late 2000 by Frederik Hatsav. Michael Lawrence joined in 2002. In late 2006, Jamie Kidd joined the project, instigating an evolution in the Metalogic sound.

3. You have a very distinct style of electronica, how do you classify it??
A: We take influence from and try to incorporate our favorite elements of all electronic music, past and present.

4.What other artists inspired you to produce this specific sound ?
A: That list would go on for pages! Electronically speaking, Extrawelt, Tony Rohr, Surgeon, Richie Hawtin, Atom Heart, The Delta. For Fred, Alex Tolstey was his musical guru for years, influencing him since the beginning. Jamie brings influence and experience from a live music background – having performed and recorded as a bassist in various funk, jazz, and rock bands.

5. When you are not producing music what are you listening too?
A: Outside of electronic music – it’s impossible to list it all – lately, we have both been enjoying one of Mike Patton’s many projects, Peeping Tom.

6.What is your home studio?
A: Well … it has a huge board, a good collection of machines, and it can get hazy – this is no software studio.

7.In your career, what track would you consider being your “biggest hit” and why??
A: A dj favorite has long been ‘Magnetic Influence’ off the debut Metalogic album released by Boshke Beats Records. Most recently, the ‘Atom Eater’ ep from ADDON, a New York based label, has received much support from dj’s we all love. Also check out Fred and Alex’s latest 12”, The Rockitmen - Premier ep has just been released on Japan’s Gemini Recordings, which includes incredible artwork by Inga Burina.

8. In the future, which label do you hope to release on.
A: Good labels of course!

9.What can we expect in the near future from Metalogic? Scheduled releases??
A: Many releases are forth coming, check [ myspace.com ] for regular updates. (website coming soon)

10.If you were to play at any party in the world, which one would it be and why?
A: Metalogic performed live for the first time in Montreal at “Don’t Try This at Home” by Noerg, so it will always be one of the most exciting places in the world to share our music. We would honestly love to perform anywhere our music would be appreciated for what it is.

11.Do you have any side projects besides Metalogic?
A: Frederik continues to collaborate with Alex Tolstey and Michael Lawrence in ‘The Rockitmen’. Jamie balances between production work with Frederik and a hectic dj’ing schedule.

12.With all the other artists you have worked with in the past, which one was your best experience?
A: One of the best experiences has definitely been the two of us working together the past 10 months. The Rockitmen project for Fred is more like a family.

13. Will this be your first time to play at the Eclipse Festival?
A: Yes. We are more than happy to be a part of this!

14.What can we expect to hear from you at the festival and how long will your performance be?
A: This will be a live performance of all original well known Metalogic material remixed and blended with improvised effects and overdubs. Our new, driving, minimal sound will be infused with deep psychedelicia, specially arranged for this event.

15. Will you be staying to hear any other artists or do you expect to leave after your set?
A: How could we leave such a beautiful landscape! We look forward to hearing what the other artists bring to this festival and how inspiring the culture will be for those 3 days.

Well Fred, many thanks once again for taking the time to complete this with me here today. All the best to Metalogic and I can’t wait to hear your stuff at Eclipse Festival at the end of July in Quebec !!
