Wow! I was no sooner off my bike this morning than I had thoughts of returning next week and FINALLY winning the 3 in a row. I had thought this may be one of the last races of the season and because it was a Holiday weekend that I’d jinx myself and not win. Thankfully […]
For so long I have dreaded the occasions when I have needed to take my bike to the bike store and have repairs carried out. Not only do I dread the queuing, the transporting of the bike, the time away from work, the rude people but I dread most the cost. It seems every time […]
Replicant is a delay-based effect in the “beat slicer/looper” vein, with some tricks of its own that separate it from the herd. From a simple delay or panning effect, on up to massive random beat mangling, Replicant is a capable plugin well in line with today’s modern electronic music styles. Stuttering buffers and filter drops […]
Just like me, you might not be a Kaskade fan, that is until you hear ‘Strobelite Seduction’. Hailing from San Francisco this is Kaskade’s fifth album and arguably his finest work. Kaskade has remixed such top pop artists as Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears but his finest work is evident on ‘Strobelite Seduction’.
‘Angel on my […]
This one’s for the sprinters. You knew it was going to come eventually. Some question why it’s taken so long for me to Blog about what I do pretty well at each Sunday and in every race. The truth is, I have never felt compelled to write a Blog entry on sprinting until today’s race. […]
As Sunday morning reared it’s sleepy head from underneath a blanket of dense fog I too eased my way into the day enjoying the quiet calm before the inevitable storm of the race to come.
If the truth be told, I had my doubts about today. Harboring fears of maybe not placing second but perhaps 3rd […]
It happens so infrequently that I share the songs I’m playing in my DJ sets. Partly because it’s a lot of work to compile the list and also because I’m not usually asked to pull it together that often anymore. All that being said, I decided to pull together what I believe are the finest […]
Cream opened its doors in Ibiza this year with two of the biggest DJs in the world, Sasha and Paul van Dyk. Complimenting the momentum of their Ibiza club night they asked Paul to mix the latest installment in the Cream mix album series entitled, Ibiza.
It’s been two years since Paul mixed a DJ album […]
’Patience’, the comeback single from love ‘em/hate ‘em boy/manband Take That rocketed to #2 in the British charts and paves the way for the welcome return of Take That to global stardom.
‘Patience’ is without doubt the stand out lead single from the album but there’s plenty of heart felt lyrics and meaningful song writing to […]
Progressive Sounds had the chance to sit down with Sasha and John Digweed this past April during the early portion of their US Spring Tour which kicked off during the WMC. They gave some insight into Involver 2, upcoming releases on Bedrock, their hectic touring plans for the year, and much more … You can […]
I had the misfortune of traveling a little while ago. If you’ve traveled lately you’ll know what I mean. It’s painful. Enormous checkin lines; enormous lines to get through security; stripping naked to walk through a metal detector that goes off even if you were COMPLETELY naked; then there’s the unlucky for some strip search […]
What can I tell you? I am absolutely disappointed. If I look back on the race there is nothing I would change. I did everything correct but still got beaten by someone who was simply faster than I was and deserved to win. Today stung really badly!
I had two team mates […]
At long last I have finally decided which car I will drive next. I have decided on the BMW 328 XI. I chose the 3 series for many reasons but the primary reasons were; I liked the body of the 3 series specifically the Coupe the most but two doors is not practical […]
It’s time now to continue the often sporadic post of, “What’s on my iPod?”. This is a post I’m planning to do more frequently as I’m asked this same question ALL THE TIME. Rather than writing full reviews of what I’m listening to I’m simply going to share what’s currently on rotation. […]
With now less than 11 hours to the race I am acutely aware of how difficult this week has been for me. This week has been my toughest competitive week this season. The first time this season I have competed in a race mid week. Additionally, this week’s race was the toughest one yet. My […]
