November Newsletter - No Formatting though...

November Newsletter - (no photos, audio links, or production tip... join to get those). -=)

Now that's what I call a party. - Halloween was a blast. Thank you
to everyone that came out, those that were there know it was
something special ;). A big shout-out to my man Myles Bigelow for
laying some sick Afro Cuban grooves on top of my set. Intense!!!! I’d
have to say this was my favorite ‘Get Together’ yet! Next one is
scheduled for New Years.

Last Thursday (long weekend)the legend Donald Glaude came to Tokyo
Lounge, he stepped on just after 1:00. Rev and I dropped some electro
funk goodness to start the night off right. He’s quite an entertainer
with his hands in the air; scratching with his face…The place was
going crazy! Photos can be seen below! It was great to see a lot of
faces there that I knew! Some out of the woodwork, COREY, JAMES!

This month I have a good buddy Shawn Ward featured, he's been a busy guy.
Although he's off to Mexico mighty quick, you can check him out
November.17th @ Overproof (that's at the Lotus), to send him off
right. Read about Shawn Below.

I’ve included a production tip in this newsletter, and will continue
to do so every month. There’re a lot of tricks that I’ve got in my
head, so I might as well share them with everyone.

I was featured in a online magazine "Beyond Robson" last month,
Check out the quick interview here

You can also checkout the trailer for a game music I worked on 'Super
Mario Strikers' here. Video One features some music that I made for
the title.Launch Video Here.

Upcoming shows to checkout… Bassnector will be @ Richards on
Dec.9th, put on by TwentyHz. Blueprint has the Tiefschwarz @ Shine,
for an intimate Christmas party Dec.19th. Vivid has LTJ Bukem and Mc
Conrad, Jan 21st @ Commodore. Of course all Saturdays at Red room for
Believe are always off the hook as well.


Shawn Ward - Featured Local Artist

Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, Shawn Ward is a musician, producer,
and DJ. He's been busy creating music with his unique deep house
style that infuses his influences of Latin, Funk and Jazz. He began
his music career at age 7, taking 8 years of classical piano
training, and later learned guitar from his Dad. Proving his musical
skills and passion to produce, his first EP "In The City" on Turbo
Recordings was released in 2001 to critical acclaim. Tracks from the
EP appear numerous com`pilation CDs, including Tim Fielding's Journey
By DJs and Timmy Regisford's One Night at Club Shelter NYC. Since
then, Shawn has quickly built up an impressive catalog and following,
with strong releases on European and US house labels such as
Polyphonics, Tweekin, Blockhead, Sensei, Fabergé, and Elevation, and
has recently received excellent exposure in the house scene for his
releases on the legendary Nottingham label DiY Discs, as well as
Dallas-based Fair Park, and the popular new Flat & Round imprint. His
music has been supported and played by Miguel Migs, Ben Watt, Mark
Farina, Fred Everything, Bob Sinclair, Halo, Kevin Saunderson, and
Ralph Lawson to name a few.

Shawn has also been busy DJing his groovy deep house style across
the globe, taking him to the UK, Sweden, Miami (Winter Music
Conference), Los Angeles, San Diego, Mexico, and South America. He
has played with DJs such as Jesper Dahlback, Rasoul, Johnny Fiasco,
and Lego.

December Newsletter - www.kylenordman.com

Well decembers halfway done... it's been a busy month for me.. well on the hill =). But I got some new clips up for you of my remix for Parallel Sound. New dj sets going to be posted next month.

I had a last minute gig scheduled at Gorgomish last friday, alongside Ferry MSH. Thanks again Farzhad and Padra for having me come down and play, it was a good time... hands down best sound system in Vancouver! Some pics below! I've also included some photos from my Japan trip earlier this year.

This month Im featuring a friend of mine, Paul Keeley (aka, Gyges, Bob Doelle etc..) Some may remember him as the other half of Amnes...LIVE with myself when he was living in Vancouver. But the east was calling him back, so he made the move. Take a listen to his live set from 'Elektra' Festival in Quebec City, wicked! This saskatchewan born prairy boy had a huge influence on the way I listen to music and produce it. No Dj'ing here, all live, original compositions when he plays out.

Don't forget Tiefswarz Dec.18 @ Shine, Every Saturday @ Red Room (Believe), Colour Sundays @ Shine (Tyler Lewis and friends), and LTJ Bukem, MC Conrad @ Commodore Jan.21st.

Until next month, peace and beats! - Kyle

December Production Tip
You Lush!

Have you ever wondered how a lot of tracks have such strong, depthful pads with movement, textural elements and generally farely rich sounding... well it's not simple. There are several levels to creating a very texture and aural satisfying pad. These include (but aren't limited to) alternative timbers being used, a lot of layering, movements within LFOs, Modulation, proper effects modelling, and automation....

One trick I use is to bit reduce a re.....

Rob Anhofer AKA. Aklimatize
It's been known for peeps to check themselves after they realised they were grinding to filthy re-edits of The Beatles and The Clash by this producer/DJ from Vancouver, Canada, but if you've ever lost yourself on a tropical dancefloor, amid a haze of smoke and hypnotic riddims, chances are you were flexing to the Aklimatize bounce. Future Elements Recordings is proud to introduce and release music from one of Canada's freshest brokenbeat producers.

In demand, with a busy year recording and DJing from Puerto Rico to Italy, Barcelona to Miami, this talented artist has an EP in the works with the Puerto Rican label Amalgama, a remix compilation forthcoming for Future Elements , successful releases with Moody Allen and Flying High Records Netherlands, remixes for Fidgital under his BS moniker and numerous projects forming worldwide.

Last year was spent representing Canada in production sessions with Zed Bias of Phuturistix, Ommas Keith of SA:RA and a talented cast of international delights in Rome at the Red Bull Music Academy. Throw in a Daz-I-Kue/Col. Red remix for Bugz in the Attic and we know your speakers will be pouring more love from this talented producer in the upcoming years. Aklimatize's melds the afro-latino presha with the bruk and soul . With undertones of a Detriot sound, he brings some exclusive heat from his travels through Europe to South America with a dancefloor directed sound. -Ay Calor!

Hear what industry pro's are saying about Rob's work!

"Throwing the Latino vibes and a bit of Puerto Rican into the broken, this tune is set to rock the westsides of any city. Good start for Future Elements. Play it out loud"
- Michael Rutten, Compost/Soulpatrol radio

"The track is wicked...you don't need a Bugz remix"
- Mikey Stirton, Manager -Bugz in the Attic

"Sick!"
- John Beltran, Ubiquity

Production Tips..

Sampling 101 or 102, 103, 104...

So what are samplers? an instrument that can capture and play back other sounds. The first sampler was relased in 1963, the mellontron keyboard. It was built on the array of 70 + tape machines. A separate tape player was connected to each individual key. Then came the rolands, the akais, the emus’, and the digital revolution!! Nowadays a lot still stick to the hardware; but I personally like the flexibility, massive libraries and ease of use, of soft-samplers like KONTAKT, Battery, or the EX24mk2 in logic.

Tracking
Tracking is when you take a recorded sound, and stretch it along an array of keys, so that it’s pitch and or time corresponds to the keys you play. For example... if you play up the keys, the samples pitch goes up, if you play down, the samples pitch goes down. Its an easy way to tune your *instrument* to a song, if the original sample is in a different key.

Loop Start, End, Loop Tricks
Quick trick for getting neat effects for vocals, pads or anything you want to experiment in. Load a sample into your soft-sampling program... Set a loop point so that if you hold down a key, it will loop from start to end, and re-loop the sample until you release the key. In programs such as Kontakt you can set a sample envelope on the release function so that it doesn’t stop abruptly when letting go of the keys.
*Trick: Try assigning your loop end points value to a midi controller, so that as you hold down the key and turn your midi knob, it will adjust the loops length, either retracting it or expanding it... you can get neat stutter effects, and or interesting rhythms and movement in pads by doing this.

Music Is.. February News and Shtuff

February already, my birthday month, I’d advise everyone not to speak to me much, the weekend of the 17th to 20th, because I doubt I’ll make any sense. =) This months featured guest is the little girl with the big voice, Ashlee Ball, shes nutso... talented, gifted.. you got it. I've added some clips from her band, an old track she and I did together and some other goodies.

Great first monthly (4th Friday of every month) night at Gorg-o-mish January 27th, wicked turnout, and lots of nice looking women, bumping beats, huge amount of friends showed their faces.. and most important, the vibe was there! This is definitely a hot spot now for the end of the month debauchery. Come see what all the fuss is about on the 24th this month, featuring REV.

Kaskade photos are at the bottom, what a show.. Sold out as per PH1 events! Packed, lots of friends came out, mucho respect for the support and free drinks! I played a little funkier than usual, and… really it was a lot of fun. I love the Tokyo lounge, great people and it has a killer setup for parties.

I’m closing the night off after Perry Ferrell of Jane’s Addiction on March 3rd at Richards on Richards; you can get tickets from www.ph1.ca . Last time was a blast, get there early as it will be packed.

Some new news concerning Borderline Ensemble coming soon... featuring tunes and remixes from some of North and South Americas best, cross genre business, check this space to find out more in coming months. Congrats to M.O. (Myles Bigelow/B-Filthy) on finishing his first album, more information to come soon. I mixed a few of the tunes, and gave them a little love. ;)

Podcasts are available from my set on Art of Beatz, First hour was me.. second EVE and Kuma.. Download the set here: MP3, and view Tracklist.

Enjoy, Till next month!


Who the F*#%$ is ashleigh ball?
Well, ashleigh is a graduate from the canadian college of performing arts. since graduating in '03 it been a busy couple of years spent doing what she loves most. To start, she is one of Vancouver's rising young voice-over stars having booked over 50 roles (mostly cartoons) working for Disney, Warnerbros and many other major 'toon networks' and in only a year and a half into her career.

She is also becoming heavily involved in Vancouver's music scene. A front singer (and flutist) for the surf-folk, funk band "Hey Ocean". She has taken the crowds by storm with her enormous stage presence, vocal agility and yes, Le jazz flute.

Ashleigh continues to write her own music and has collaborated with various musicians ranging from the ferocious 12 piece juggernaught Five Alarm Funk to the unique broken beat styling of Myles Bigelow (M.O.). Ashleigh is very excited to get into the studio this February and start recording Hey Ocean's full length album... what is next for this girl ? only time will tell. (dun dun duuuuuun)

Listen up......... some clips she's sung on below!

Hey Ocean - Madera

Hey Ocean - Peach Sleep

M.O. feat. Ashleigh Ball - Impulse

KN feat. Ashleigh Ball - Lions

You can download the clips if you sign up.

Production Tips
Using Reference to get your material to commercial quality sound.

I highly suggest using reference material when mixing tracks, or in creation process or your recordings. Taking a song you find big and bright, and using it as reference for your own song is a great way to compare and contrast what you can do to yo................. Sign up to read the rest.

The Function

Kevin and Roxy met around 3 years ago and had a mutual love for both music and each other. Together they started writing music not really knowing what sound they could call their own. Having moved away from Vancouver for a couple years they really started discovering a sound that they both enjoyed and wanted to apply to their own music.

Kevin found inspiration from older jazz and funk music particularly from keyboard players such as Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Quincey Jones to name a few. A particular sound intrigued his ears that kept on surfacing amoung newer brokenbeat records. That sound was the sound of older analog synths in the hands of jazz musicians.

Roxy took the same direction with her vocals listening to the greats like Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire and Marvin Gaye. She spent many hours practicing singing, learning scales and harmonies as well as learning jazz and theory before continuing on to record more tracks and take her vocal skills to the next level. Now it has been 2 years since anybody has heard anything from this duo..... Kevin and Roxy are back to showcase there new sounds in the form of Brokenbeat’s and Nujazz. Stay tuned for upcoming releases under Vancouver’s first and only Brokenbeat label Future Elements, and Borderline Collective.

April News and da Bombs

April&rsquo;s been a great month, lots of sun, lots of music, great talent through the city, and positive energy everywhere, possibly because of summer coming, or just the moon is lining up with the tidal waves&hellip; yeah.. that&rsquo;s it ;).

Some wicked shows were played the past 30 days, first off Gorgomish was a gong show, packed eye to eye, lots of disco bass being thrown down by Julian Chow and Myself... and tight attendance, quality peeps!! Doing that again on April 28th for THE SHOWDOWN! Monthly featuring Myself and Guests.

Last Saturday Lee Burridge, Myself and
Tyler Lewis severely welted the bass at the Red Room. Thanks to Ph1, Blueprint and Believe for hosting the cities finest event this year. Lee stays true to his sound, pushing quality music, with the humor that goes along with it. Pics can be seen below!

Infusion from Australia came into
town, and showed us all how it&rsquo;s done the live way at Plaza Nightclub after I got off the decks. Thanks to Jamie, Frank and Manuel for being such solid performers and having class light years beyond us all ;). Some bloke Phil K was in town as well, wicked show at the Lotus with Luke Chable. Rough dirty bass with tight drums all tight.. Showing us all how to push the envelope. Pics from Infusion below.

It was the Aussie invasion weekend, so who better to feature than one of their mates, Dan Mangan the radio host on KissFM, Triple J, head of A an R for Trojan Records (Luke Chable&rsquo;s Label). New Tracks on Trojan Records linked for your listening pleasure., and a 30min mini mix with a Paul Keeley Borderline Collective tune in it.

Thanks to Nathan Hall for having me down to Addiction, nice mixed crowd, and felt good to feel like I was converting people. Pics are below.

Till Next Month!

Dan Mangan
Dan Started off in High School working a stint at a local record distributor, Mushroom Distribution Services. A steady career in I.T was on the cards until one day Frank G, the man that Dan blames for everything since, handed him a pile of records and asked him if he had turntables. &ldquo;No&rdquo; was Dan&rsquo;s response. &ldquo;Get some&rdquo; was Frank&rsquo;s. From here, it all unfolds with a tedious inevitability&hellip;

Skip to 2001 - Australia's national youth radio network; Triple J. The gig was broadcast live to air on the Saturday night &ldquo;Mix-Up&rdquo; show from Revolver Nightclub in Prahran, Melbourne. This was his first public gig ever and about a minute before he had to go on, he was informed that about half a million people would be listening to him.

Since then, Dan Mangan hasn&rsquo;t just established himself in Melbourne's evergrowing scene, he&rsquo;s grown to become one it&rsquo;s leading DJ&rsquo;s who&rsquo;s sound is as upfront as it is diverse. In five short years, he&rsquo;s used his versatility and technical skill as a DJ to warm up, hype up or wind up a night, and has racked up (residencies) at club nights like Out Of Order, Fractured, Escape, Fuji, The Late Show, Broken Home, PreSSure, Quality Control, Q-Bar and Sunny. His name can found amongst the
fine-print on flyers with names like Infusion, Nubreed, EK, Tayo, Adam Freeland, Anthony Pappa, Danny Howells, James Lavelle and many many more.

Dan&rsquo;s immediate circle are luminaries such as Phil K, Luke Chable, Keltec, Ivan Gough, Nubreed, Andy Page and Sean Quinn, so he&rsquo;s was extremely lucky to have the odd chance to pick up a production trick or two. As a result, some of his tracks have found their way to the public on imprints such as 3Beat Breaks, Heavy Rotation, Vicious Vinyl, Audiotherapy, Trojan Records and CP Recordings.

In June 2005, Sean Quinn invited Dan to co-host a daily show on Melbourne's freshly revived KissFM. Called Space Between The Beats. With a music policy based around new music it&rsquo;s the station&rsquo;s highest rating show, and guests have included Dave Seaman, Nic Fanciulli, Trentemoller, Satoshi Tomiie, Carl Cox, Lee Burridge and many more. Tune all the way to the left at 87.6FM, or stream via the internet from http://www.kissfm.com.au weekdays from 2-4pm to catch the show.

March 2006 Dan was invited to keep Kid Kinobe&rsquo;s seat warm at Triple J while he went on tour for four weeks and present the first hour of the show he was &lsquo;unearthed&rsquo; on in the first place: the Mix-Up. Only since that mid-2001 night, the listenership of the Mix-Up had jumped to an average of 700,000.

Just so he made sure he absolutely no time left whatsoever, in March 2006 Dan took up the role of A&R for Luke Chable's record label, Trojan Records. Looks like that steady career in I.T will have to be put on hold for a bit&hellip;

Keying, Your Bass with a Kick Sample
Sometimes when I make a track, I feel the bass and the kick are
fighting for room in the low frequencies. I&rsquo;m sure everyone has
felt this way one time or another.. The easiest and best way to defeat
this is to &ldquo;duck&rdquo; the bass out when the kick is playing.
In turn this is known as putting a compressor on your bass sample,
and using the kick channel to side chain the gain reduction.

DJNemesis is an unknown quantity at this point
Good stuff Kyle and nice one on featuring Shawn.. if it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't ever have become a dj back in the day. When I first learnt to beatmatch it was on his jungle records back in 95!
