ToneMatrix has been around for a long time now, but its appeal hasn’t worn off one little bit.
Andre Michelle, who created it, describes it as a, “simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlaying wave-map, which makes it more cute.”
Addicted, sweet and totally addictive. Go have a play.
I love Otis Redding’s ‘Try a Little Tenderness’, I love Kanye & Jay-Z together on this track, and now I discover that none other than Aziz Ansari appears in the Spike Jonze directed video. Epic.
A-Trak has released a free download of a mix he’s just released for Rapture’s How Deep Is Your Love.
Aka ‘Dub for Mehdi’, it’s in memory of the phenomenal artist that tragically died last month.
Taken from the Soundcloud upload:
“I did this remix over the summer, and when I was close to finishing it I played it to my friend, the irreplaceable DJ Mehdi. We often played each other our productions for feedback. As it turns out he and Riton were visiting New York so they stopped by my apartment. I was working on the main version of the remix, the vocal version. I knew I would make a few alternate edits during the mixdown. The funny thing was, Mehdi’s favorite part was the ending! He and Riton suggested that I have that part come in earlier. My reaction was: that would work well for the dub version. And sure enough, when I finished mixing it down I made a dub with their suggestion. When I sent it to Mehdi shortly after, he responded (as a joke) that I should call it “Dub For Mehdi”. He included it in his “Tunisian Summer” mix. And then, as we all know, the unimaginable happened and we lost our dear friend. The least I can do now is name the edit after him. This one’s for you, Memed. “
Who doesn’t love the sound of rain?
There’s something incredibly relaxing about it, and personally I find it also helps me to concentrate.
