Kill The Noise
He didn't come to House music... House music came to him! As more aggressive and distorted tracks have grown in popularity on dance floors around the world, DJ and producer Jake Stanczak (Kill the Noise) has made quite a name for himself in the House scene. We met up with Kill the Noise in Los Angeles where he showed us around a track off his debut EP out now on Slow Roast Records.
Owl City
Adam Young, aka Owl City is a music 2.0 success story. Launching himself into stardom, straight out of his parent's basement and into the #1 spot on iTunes, he knows what it takes to make it in the music industry today. We caught up with him at a sold out show at the legendary Fillmore club in San Francisco, California and talked to him about his music, his tools and workflow.
Brazilian Girls
Didi Gutman is the keyboard player in Brazilian Girls, a New York City based trio that's neither Brazilian or Girls, save for vocalist Sabina Sciubba.
For Didi, Reason became a both practical and affordable way to get all the sounds he needed on stage without breaking his back or the bank. We met with him in his Brookly, NY combined studio and apartment to talk about how he got started with The Brazilian Girls and how he started using Reason.
