Narkoba - Music Collaboration Front

After spending the last 2 weeks in Bella Sicilia, eating loads of fresh pesce, doing daily aperitivo's and having excellent wine, I was looking forward to another jam session with the Maschine. Last night I found some time to kick some summer breeze ass and composed the following snippet. One more round then it's bottles to the ground. Posted in Snippets Whatever

While sweat is running down my face, I am posting this taj mahal house track. It feels nice listening to because there is a nice summer vibe going on! This song was one of our first demo's made together with talented Indian musician Mathew. It was put 'in the closet' for a couple of months, but yesterday I decided to give it a boost and spice it up a little with some Maschine madness grooves... Thanks for listening and enjoy your week-end! (A little bit early, but it's good to be optimistic!) Posted in Songs Demo track

We do not need no laws! We are peace and love! Rasta Vibration! Lately I got my hands on my man Kinky B's latest demo. His band Luie Lovers, a reggae outfit based in Ghent, went to Amsterdam and skanked away a couple of very nice songs! These songs inspired me to mashup some self-made beats, blend in some rasta vibes, use a hell of a delay and get the dub atmosphere going. Oh yeah, I want to dedicate this song to my partner in crime Lex, who is celebrating his birthday today. Happy 1 to you buddy!! Posted in Snippets Outro

This week I got a funny email in my inbox. It was in fact an assignment. The email only contained the following mp3 file attached: (he is briefing me in dutch with a very french accent...) In fact the guy wanted me to make a snippet in E minor using the chord B as well. He will use this snippet for his test of solfege, he wanted me to use midi, but hey that would be too easy. So I've played some guitar and bass and came up with something nice. Posted in Snippets Whatever

Let the good times roll! Like my colleague Ox is saying all the time. And in fact he's right. I am in an optimistic mood for the moment, the Seville madness is over, a small VJ set is coming up and there may even be a show in Cochin's cricket stadium in Kerala... What could you want more? A nice narkoba snippet for example? Cheers! Posted in Snippets Intro

Still having the blues! A new snippet, this time a lex remix (the best of the best) of the No More My Lord snippet posted earlier. Lex and I made this version a couple of weeks ago, and I was hesitating a bit to put it on the site. But Lex was constantly asking me to put it up. So here it is... enjoy (especially Lex) -- music = nice Posted in Songs RemixAudio response to No More My Lord

I am having the blues people! Recently I saw a nice documentary made by Martin Scorsese presenting the blues. Immediately I was hooked. I've found a nice collection of songs recorded at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in 1947. I liked it so much so I decided to make a snippet out of it: No More My Lord! Posted in Snippets Intro

Thank Vishnu it's Friday! Yip the first working week of the year 2010 is almost over. To celebrate this I would like to share the following song with you people. In fact it's rock song in Malayalam. Malayalam is one of the 22 official languages in India. It is spoken by 35.9 million people. The track was composed and recorded in collaboration with Matthew from the Allepy band called Manthra. we have done the tracking together last week in Nijmegen (Holland).

A zen mashup video from monks chanting in the Nubra Valley. Hopefully buddha will like. Recorded & filmed by yours truly in Ladakh, India. If you listen well you can hear monks drumming in the Shanti Stupa and early birds (6 am!) praying in the Thiksey Gompa. There are also some prayer wheels involved, of course... Ohm mani padme hum
