James BlakeSoul Music for the Digital Generation James Blake is not the first artist to marry confessional singer-songwriter sensibility to the more formulaic extravagances of electronica; he is, however, close to unique in his ability to straddle those two musical worlds in a manner simultaneously organic, inventive and not even remotely contrived. Blake's second album, Overgrown, finds the 24-year-old former dubstep DJ/producer pouring his troubled psyche over a blend of dub-heavy beats, R&B and gospel, as best evidenced by the album's standout single, "Retrograde". Self-described as a song about falling in love, it balances the solemn soul of Bill Withers with periodic bursts of exuberant passion, as Blake captures the precise moment of Cupid's arrow impact via a visceral whoop of "Suddenly, I'm hit!" Will Blake prove to pack the commercial punch of fellow blue-eyed soulsters Timberlake or Thicke? Artists such as Brian Eno, RZA and Kanye West, all of whom have worked or are in the works with Blake-related projects certainly think so. For now, Blake continues to walk the line between the sultry bedroom vibe of R&B's resurgent Quiet Storm movement and the minimal mystique of a British "bedroom" artist on a path all his own.

Digital DJ Tips
From DJ to Producer: 3 Myths Exploded About Digital DJ Tips Digital DJ Tips helps people learn to DJ using modern digital DJ gear. With news, features interviews, reviews, show reports, and tutorials, it is one of the most-read DJ tech websites in the world, and has over 60,000 students on its paid and free DJ courses. It's the eternal DJ/producer conundrum: To have the best (maybe even any) chance of making music your life - of changing your life through music - you are going to have to figure out how to be both a DJ and a producer. So today I thought I'd look at some of the totally understandable (but nonetheless destructive) myths / excuses / objections raised by DJs who are smart enough to realize that they need to learn to produce as well as learn to DJ, but who really can't see a way to begin. 1. "I will never be able to find enough time to DJ and to produce!" This is the big one. If you currently don't think you have time in your life to both DJ and produce, you are not alone. Our lives are busy and getting busier (especially with the ever-growing mountain of shiny things to distract us) Add the demands of a day job, family and social life, and that lack of time can seem like an impossible obstacle to overcome. And it is. That is, until you start. We all know how tasks seem to expand to fill the time available - and that often, deadlines and lack of time can make you more creative, not less. Ask anyone who's given up their job to work full time on something creative and the first thing they'll tell you is their productivity plummeted. So if you are short of time, then you are in an ideal position to do your best creative work - as long as you develop the mental skills of focus, willpower, decision-making and planning. The key is to find methods, practice your skills, and get seriously good at doing more in less time right now, not wait until that fictional moment in the future when you'll have all the time of the world. Because trust me, you'll never have all the time in the world - and what's more, for your creativity you don't want it! 2. "I'm going to need tons of equipment to do both, aren't I?" Actually no. With both DJing and making music, the best approach to take when you're getting started (in fact, even when you're not) is to use the least equipment and software possible. Why? First, it's much less overwhelming. With every single bit of equipment you add to your set-up, the more you have to learn, the more you have to think about. (When all you really want to be thinking about is the music itself!) [Keep reading...]
