Drum N Bass and Breakbeat are two similar sounding genres that have coexisted together since the early 2000s in their current guise. There have been many off shoots of both genres over the years, such as Tech Step, Liquid, Jump up for Drum N Bass plus Nu Skool, Jungle, and Electro for Breakbeat, just to name a few. They are both comparable in sound, production techniques and the technology used to create the music, plus both can trace their roots deriving from Hardcore, which utilised breakbeats

A great deal has been said about the move from physical media to a ubiquitous, digital culture. Some decry the downfall of the vinyl record, falling compact disc sales, the cheapening and degrading of an art form. I’ll try to stay away from unverifiable judgements about the direction modern culture is moving in. More interesting is the way musical creation is changing as a result of new technologies, whether we like it or not. What comes to mind is hyperreality - what Jean Baudrillard called “the

Is EDM actually intellectual? Modern generations witnessed its rise from the beginning of the new century. Lives of teenagers (and older) worldwide have been influenced by it. It has become an unavoidable element for all the places in the world where joy, youth and life are celebrated. One should not be mislead by these statements, since EDM is simply more than that. It should be considered intellectual because of its variety, composition and complexity, and high knowledge of properties of sound

Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen and thank you for this opportunity to share with you today. I am honoured to discuss with you the effectiveness, in regards to technology and language conventions, of the short film Ohana. With the intention of creating a film that brought to light serious issues whilst upholding a prodigious standard as a production, this film was successful as such through the plentiful access to various technologies as well as the implementation of language conventions and codes

trying to play the drums, I didn’t understand how to do it. I had no idea that drumming even had different styles and beats. It took me quite awhile to fully comprehend how complex it really is. Drumming is not easy at first, can be very complex, and requires a lot of practice. Learning to play the drums was not easy when I first started figuring out how to play a beat. First of all, I didn’t know which pieces I was supposed to play. After observing another person play the drums, I saw that I needed

Ba Dum Tss Chilly early mornings, where the only perk of waking up at five a.m. is getting to see the beautiful sunrises. The smell of turf mixed with sweat. The sounds of laughter, horns bleating, and drums booming ringing through the air. One amazing word comes to mind when I think of these things- band. Whether it’s a Saturday competition, long class periods dedicated to rehearsal, or Friday night football games, band has never ceased to be a source of enjoyment for me. Over the years, it has

"wanted a new way to present his sampled-based productions in a live setting. He set about recruiting his own ensemble and Kormac’s Big Band was born. He found a brass section and complemented that core with an ever-evolving group consisting of bass, drums, electronics, guitars, synths, turntables, singers and MCs." Having a large ensemble of musicians on the stage is great for live performances but how has having different musicians available to him shaped his sound? "Before I worked with a 10 piece

First Days August 2009, in the dead heat of summer I awoke with excitement for the day to come. Shooting up out of my bed to look at my clock. It reads six o’clock in the morning. Going down my checklist in my head I start getting ready for the day. Today is the first day of band camp. Two weeks of sweating your ass off in the blazing Florida sun and enjoying every minute of it. First day Jitters seem to always happen to me; No matter if this is the first time or the fifth time. Its funny to think

whispers and laughter. My stomach was in all sorts of knots. I could feel my heart thumping vigorously inside my chest. It was a hot night and the giant sun-like lights that shined down on us from the McCallum theatre didn’t help at all. I held my bass guitar with a tight grip, repeating the notes I had practiced over and over in my head. Music has always been a thing in my family, a special thing most of us share. Family gatherings or parties never went without the sounds of guitars, pianos, or
