Darkness. Despair. Denial. Anger. Confusion. Stubbornness. Resilience. Rhythm. Redemption.

142 BPM

This short mix was meant as an experiment, testing the Echo FX at various timings and practicing my execution.

First try at Drum and Bass, or my Brokn flavor of it anyway. Done on a beautiful spring afternoon near Montreal, Canada. Clearly a work in progress, but...

You're likely to see me mix it @Bar La Shop for my next event, Thursday June 6th 2024. Might as well call it Thirst Day, because I'm preparing another Hard/Dark very energetic closing set full of twists and surprises, spanning many genre mostly in the range of 130 to 160BPM that will surely get you sweatier than the palm of an awkward teenager about to ask the beauty queen to be his prom date! https://brokn.ca to follow me, events are posted on fb via Brokn Sound_Machine / Max Do Ré

Welcome to this wild ride that was my first ever DJ set in front of a crowd. I recreated it as faithfully as I could, but obviously couldn't resist the urge to push some more, with the good and the bad it brings.

THANK YOU D32 FOR BEING PART OF ME NOW, AS I AM PART OF YOU!!! Follow us here https://www.facebook.com/groups/261690917793152/, we throw sick parties and encourage emergent DJs, Producers and other Artists by giving them a chance to shine =]

Starts at 122 bpm and ends at 185 from many genre. I'll admit this was an ambitious set to properly learn and execute, both times, but I wanted to prove it's possible to vary genre and energies as well as beats per minute, with just a bit of focus, a touch of skills and lots of experimentation. Sorry for almost killing the set at around an hour, but if you ain't fallin', you ain't pushin'!

Think this is good and want to support a nice fella in his quest to try to make the world a better place through incredibly time-consuming sound design with fat basses and all the things, good mixing/mastering, energetic (soon to come) live performances, as well as the will to share how music production can be used as part of a therapeutic process?

This is a work in progress, five hours in.

For my second release, here's my first attempt at something more dancefloor, less soundtrack.

This one too was made in less than a day, as was First Contact. I didn't even feel like it, but persevered. Eyes on the prize! I want to see all of you on the dancefloor soon!

Speaking of eyes, here's a tweak on my logo. I'd classify this one as having a somewhat Nu-Disco, Deep House groove while staying very minimalistic in how many tracks made it to the finish line. Still dark, but with a glimpse of light shining through. T-shirts and other merch made to order, contact me for details!
