Time for one of those update thingies straight out of my virtual pen. Excuse me, got carried away a bit there. A fair bit has been happening both music and DJ wise so for those that care I’ll bring you up to speed…

Snaggletooth by JOKR is the latest release from Kiss My Bass and came out this week with my remix on it. It’s hard to know exactly how it’s doing but it’s currently charting at Beatport and Juno as well as being a featured release at Track It Down, thanks to the excellent Ben & Lex remix. I’ve finished a remix for Ape Music, the label run by the aforementioned Ben & Lex and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a track by Prosper & Old Skool Nemo Vs Benjamin Vial (phew!) called Bad Bwoys. It’s gone in for mastering which is just as well as it definitely needs a few tweaks after repeated listens. Track wise though I reckon I’ve turned it into a pretty catchy dance floor tune but we shall see what people think when it gets out there.

The other remix I’ve finished is for Myagi’s Pop & Lock label, a remix of Be Strong by Groovy Cuvy & Bennie Leung. Yes we’re going for the long artist names at the moment! It had a pretty strong vocal which I’ve cut into and distorted somewhat and this one is less catchy and more, erm, grindy? Stuttering noises and plenty of bleeps are the order of the day. I’m also currently working on a remix for Filthy Rehab which will be given away for free as part of the next Kiss My Bass release but I’ll keep that under wraps for now.

Original music wise work has begun on constructing tracks for an EP which will hopefully feature the vocal talents of Whipcrack (who featured on my Fat Loan EP for Nitrous Records) and Spitfire (local MC looking to get all over some recordings). I’m also considering mining some older unofficially released tracks for ideas as it seems a bit of a waste and there’s some good bits in there.

The main difference from my last update is the DJ bookings. I always play plenty locally in Southsea but have found it relatively hard thus far to break out. This looks like it’s slowly changing: April I will be playing at the debut of Analogue at Brighton’s legendary Volks. Live DnB in the main room with a handful of us representing practically anything with a bassline in room 2. My other big booking is for the Secret Garden Festival in Huntingon in July. I’ll be playing early evening on the Saturday on Eddy Temple Morris’s stage The Remix Bubble, named after his XFM show. I’m pretty stoked about this one as no doubt it’ll be much fun and is the weekend after Glade so means I’ll be a proper festival kid this year (minus the kid bit). Other local gigs include playing the opening night at new venue The Kraken Wakes, a venture in which Lewis @ Sumo/Kry Wolf is heavily involved. I’ll also be playing at the same venue supporting Subsource.

Thanks for your time, until April: peace!

One in Brighton, one at the Secret Garden Party festival and the rest in my sunny hometown, available for booking all other dates. For any more info or directions hit me up, hope to see you at some of these!

Another day, another dollar etc

This time I’ve gone and entered myself into the Next Generation DJ contest online which allows DJs across all formats to compete through various rounds that include voting and judges decisions to win some uber prizes. These range from equipment to a gig at Miami WMC and tons of free PR plus articles in DJ mag. I would like this please, ahem.

All you have to do for now is cast your vote on my Grindmix and if you get the time use the share functions to share to your Facebook/Twitter etc and try to get others to do the same. I need at least 200 votes to qualify into the next round.

After a number of false starts and experiments Udy Music is now fully born. Nothing fancy, this website will provide interested parties with easy access to my free music as well as the ability to stream official release. The website will feature my bio, stock photos, current bookings, contact details and an ongoing blog from myself. I felt the need to separate my own promotion from that of Kiss My Bass as although no doubt I will still post my tracks and mixes to that site I didn’t want my work to be the focus of it. I also felt the need to provide a place other than the Myspace to access my information as some people have remarked that I am hard to find on the web (a fact which some of those sick of my ’spam’ will find hard to believe).

I hope you find everything you need here but should you not do not hesitate to get in contact for information and booking requests (DJ gigs, remixes, original tracks).

Peace!

Udy.
