EML Alumnus DJ Cosmic Battlefield - Darkwave set on Sat 20 June at Blu Jaz

Original Sin
Darkwave/Old-school goth/Ethereal/Folk--all in one Nefarious Night!

Singapore Dark Alternative Movement

Party - Night of Mayhem

Fans and fiends of old-school goth classics, this upcoming Saturday will thrill you with killer hits from the era of Siouxsie, The Cure, Depeche Mode and Joy Division.

ORIGINAL SIN, the first and only Darkwave/Goth night in SINgapore is where the tragedy's at, melding lush lyrics and vitriolic vignettes that snake its wispy tendrils into the bleak void of your soul. Love lost, decay, and subterranean emptiness, topped with a dose of your favourite poison--there's always the ABSINTHE SHOTS at $8--will infuse this piquant night with opulent colours of introspection and revelation.

Celebrate the fragile human condition with haunting songcrafts and otherworldly offerings of DARKWAVE/OLD-SCHOOL GOTH/ETHEREAL/FOLK from our resident deck masters MENTOR, COSMIC BATTLEFIELD and an appearance by LIQUE. So come dressed in your mourning best, for it's time to bleed out the angst, and wax eloquent about death--after all, Bela Lugosi's DEAD.

- 20th June, Saturday
- Cover of $12
- Absinthe shots at $8++, mixers at $10++
- Beers from $6 onwards

This collection provides midi files, loops, and oneshot samples. Sound folders include, long solos, keyboard cut upz, kicks, snare, percussion, hi hats, basses, pads, SFX, filtered rhythms, beat layers, and kickless grooves. The possibilities of this package are practically limitless and extremely versatile when producing just about any form of House. The main focus of Jazzy House are it's Jazzy Keys.

MORE INFO:
http://peaceloveproductions.com/Jazzy_House_Loops.html

Apple, Wave, and Rex - Duck & Pump Electro House - These loops and samples are for Electro House, Nu Deep House, and Fidget House production. Duck & Pump Electro House focuses on the Ducking effect. We have done all the ducking for you. A four on the floor kick drum was used to trigger the compression. Simply drop the Basses and Synths over a kick drum and you'll get an instant groove.

Ducking is achieved by side chaining with a compressor. The most popular result of this effect is done by using a kick drum and a bassline. Ducking and side chaining are nothing new. This technique has been used in recordings for decades. Most of the time it is very subtle but a more exaggerated version of this effect has recently become more popular in Dance music. Benny Benassi was one of the first producers to use this effect in such a way to get that pumping off beat bass effect. Now artists like Deadmau5 and John Dahlback have brought it to another level.

Sound folders include Ducking Basses, Ducking Pads, Ducking Synths, Drums, Mixed Beats, Hi Hats, Kicks, Snares, Percussion, Crashes, Transition SFX, Uplifting SFX, Unprocessed Synths, Fidgets, Unprocessed Basses, Club FX, and Vocal Bits. This collection also includes those pristine drum sounds you hear in all of the latest charting Electro House and Deep House tunes. You get those perfect kick drums that everyone is always looking for. D&PEH also includes snappy Snares, tight Hi Hats, and Crash effects.

381 Loops and 40 Drum One Shots. Recorded in various keys at 120 BPMs. 24 bit 44.1kHz Stereo Acidized wav and Applelooped aif (Rex coming soon) DOWNLOAD PRICE $29.95 USD

Hard at work on the new remix project in EML studio


Adrian, Jeff and Hafiz working hard on a remix of one of our EML tracks -watch this space to hear how it sounds (it sounds good)

EML friend JSTN's DJ gig photos


The gig was at Blu Jaz on Bali Lane - interesting bar on the 3rd floor of the shop house - playing minimal techno, a highly challenging style to play to Singapore crowds. Especially when the opening act is belly dancers... But he got the floor pumping after a while, and clapping and shouting too, good work!
