When the shark bites, you're "Shark Bait"

IndabaMusic.com's weekly contest that started on August 15, 2012 is on the theme of sharks. I put together an aggressive track I entered called "Shark Bait".

"Lost in the Sun" by Ivy remix contest entry

Didn't spend a lot of time on this, simply added some interesting FX to the various audio stems that were provided for this remix contest of a song called "Lost in the Sun" by the group Ivy. My remix sounds like the original except that the instrumentation, due to the FX used, is a bit more in your face. I couldn't really make out the lyrics in the original and you definitely can't understand them in my remix!

"Night of the Living Coffeemaker" contest entry

Unusual contest from Samplephonics to create a two-minute track using a single sound source. I chose a recording I made in 2011 of my coffeemaker. Sliced it all up and applied a lot of sound effects to the different audio to come up with an ambient horrorscape I called "Night of the Living Coffeemaker". Have a listen if you dare. It might make you appreciate your coffeemaker even more.

Voting now open for KDM "Bend It Over" remix contest

Public voting is now open for the KDM "Bend It Over" remix contest I entered sponsored by Vinyl Related Records and DivisionBass Digital. My track is the Trance Doctor Remix. As they say in the trade, there's some quality shit here.

Update for August 10, 2012: Did not place in the top three.

Olympic 2012 opening spectacular

Watching the 2012 Summer Olympic opening ceremony. Highlights so far were the Industrial Revolution transition and raising of the Olympics Rings, Daniel (James Bond) Craig and HM the Queen together, and Rowan (Mr. Bean) Atkinson in a spoof of "Chariots of Fire" -- music and the film. An amazing spectacle for sure.

My first digital music store opens at Nimbit Music

I created my digital music store through Nimbit Music. My Trance Doctor storefront's not fully enabled and there's only one track there for you to listen to or purchase (a mere $0.99 of awesome tribal-techno beats), but have a go at it and let me know what you think. I have at least 3, maybe 4, audio CD's worth of music to upload (yes, audio CD quality, not MP3s). At the moment (July 13, 2012), that's the only audio format Nimbit Music is supporting. You can pay by four major credit cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) or by PayPal.

Entered KDM "Bend It Over" remix competition

Decided on a Canada Day (July 1) 2012 whim to enter a remix contest sponsored by UK's Vinyl Related Records. The remix is of the artist KDM's track "Bend It Over". The music is of the dubstep/drum and bass genres. I liked what I heard of the original and love a good musical challenge, so over two days completed and submitted my entry.

It's online at http://www.vinylrelatedrecords.co.uk/competition/ and the track is titled "KDM - Bend It Over - (TranceDoctor Remix)" (SoundCloud link). Have a listen and favorite me!
