PRESS ::: Reviews of BEAT PHARMACY : Wikkid Times Remixes EP

NEW RELEASE on Wave Music :: BEAT PHARMACY :: Wikkid Times Remixes EP
Beat Pharmacy’s ‘Wikkid Times’ album gets the remix treatment from Appleblim & Komonazmuk, John Daly, Deadbeat and Intrusion on this massive EP.

Moeller, whether as Beat Pharmacy, Echologist or his own name, has spent his career releasing on some of the strongest labels in the world. The likes of Rekids, Third Ear, Connaisseur and Echochord have all called upon Moeller’s prodigious, dub-styled talents which is superb testimony to his abilities. Appleblim & Komonazmuk take on ‘Nuclear Race’ feat. Paul St Hilaire first off and create a slow burning dubstep interpretation which layers up gradually from stripped dub atmospherics to a dense, arpeggio laced crescendo. St Hilaire’s vocals drift in and out of the mix which adds to the layering of sounds and creates a mesmerising listen. Irish producer John Daly continues an amazing 2009 with his remix of ‘Time’ feat. Damon Aaron. A lazy house but powerful house beat underpins Daly’s use of chords and stabs while Aaron’s voice is used as an emotive and memorable counterbalance, making it yet another remix hit for the outstanding producer. One half of Echospace, Stephen Hitchell, dons his Intrusion cap for his remix of ‘Sunshine’ feat. Paul St Hilaire. An alias reserved as an outlet for Hitchell’s combination of his love of traditional dub reggae and his more techno excursions, Intrusion means a skanking, white-noise-washed and blissful trip for ‘Sunshine’.

Finally, Wagon Repair artist and engineering wizard Deadbeat carefully twists ‘Ghostship’ and its post apocalyptic lyrics from Spaceape around a low slung house groove. Clattering, loose percussion adds a swagger to cut while subtle, filtered stabs hint at buried melodies throughout. This is a stunning package and features some of the leading lights of dub infused sounds – unmissable.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY...
Laurent Garnier
Brilliant remixes . Perfect for the radio and for early dancefloor sessions. Another perfect release on Wave.

Darren House - Diesel / Xpress 2
Excellent. Love Appleblim rmx and John Daly. Good to see Wave doing it.

Josh Wink - Ovum
Deadbeat rmx is the one for me. Builds nicely for a lil' dub groover.

DJ Hell
Killer as always from Wave!

Yannick Labbé - Trickski / Innervisions
Totally lost in dub. Deadbeat mix is my fave.

A very "Wave" sounding record... Deadbeat mix grabbed me... will give it a whirl

Love this. The Appleblim and Deadbeat remixes are the killers for me. Big support.

ADE 2009 :: CONFERENCE PANEL:: "THE TRUTH ABOUT FLATRATES" featuring FORWARD MANAGEMENT founders Aurelie Brambilla-Cotugno & Francois K

Packed with loads of interesting panel topics, Q&A’s, key notes and product presentations, ADE’s conference program promises to be the most extensive one to date. FORWARD MANAGEMENT's founders Aurelie Brambilla-Cotugno & François K will be part of the ADE's Friday conference panel, THE TRUTH ABOUT FLATRATES, discussing the pros and cons of the controversial topic of flatrate-tax for digital contents that the trade organizations of the “Creative Industries" have tried to introduce as a new business model.

Aurelie Brambilla-Cotugno will be leading the discussion as the moderator of this high-profile panel.

At eleven months, his mother discovered he had “perfect pitch” (the rare ability to hear a note or combination of notes, and name them perfectly, without effort) when she would hum a note, and, at less than a year old, Alexander would hum it back perfectly in tune. He began playing the piano at age three, playing by ear two-voice songs from church on the piano. He first composed at age four, and began taking lessons at five. During the past ten years, Alexander has been involved with competitions, accompanying, and entertainment. He became involved with choral activities beginning his freshman year at Lutheran South High School in Affton, MO, and continued to succeed in this area as well.

ADE 2009 :: 365!LIVE MASTERCLASS & WORKSHOP featuring Francois K & Ben Liebrand

On Thursday, October 22nd, Francois will be the featured guest at 365Live's in-depth workshop on music production along with renowned mixmeister Ben Liebrand. Francois will discuss and display will demonstrate how to make a DJ mix for a compilation, with all the bells & whistles, live effects, etc. - not to be missed!

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP [source : 365mag.com] "The workshop program will start in the afternoon with SHARE: Audio Visual Playground: a concept in which many creative artists join forces for a real live jam-session. SHARE offers creative audiovisual minds the opportunity to show everyone with equal interests their raw sketches or complete audio and/or video projects. New ideas and collabs will be formed and eventually everyone will come together to put up a utterly innovating show. These amazing results will be shown in the 365LIVE! masterclass early in the evening. Wanna join and share your creations? Sign up for free at shareamsterdam.com!

After this SHARE workshop, exclusively to these masterclasses, developers of Ableton's new MAX For LIFE software will give a presentation about their new product. MAX For LIFE is the talk of the town in producer land as it allows you to build your own plug-ins (which are used to add extra effects or add digital instruments for example). They even say, a good dance producer is as good as his best plug-in. And now it's possible to create your own! This workshop is a must for the advanced dance producer who works with Ableton Live 8."
