The hardest thing when you make a track is to come up with a track title that covers the feel of the track. You don’t want to name it something stupid. This new track has a big city feeling to it, therefore I came up with the title ‘Urban Emphasis‘. Does this fit the bill? I have no clue. The track itself is a simple electronica piece with only a few sub-tracks. I had it in my projects list for quite some time. It took me a while to finish it, as I thought it needed more elements, but in the end… less is more. So there ya go!

Already my third post on the music that I found through my interactions on Twitter. Like mentioned before, to me Twitter is a big pool of experiences. Many of which is music and people who made that music. Below are again some findings I find more then good (like great!) and definately worth checking out:

• Adriane Lake – So Beautifull – what a great track, a mixture/combo of ambient, electronica and sweet, sweet vocals!
• Ronald Jenkees – Guitar Sound – It is not my style but every time I watch this video I start rocking to it!!!!
• Sennen – Bizarre Love Triangle – Beautiful cover of one of my favorit New Order tracks
• The Found Sound Orchestra – Memorabilica – Free download this great album.
• Cinnamon Chasers – Luv Deluxe – A great video to a great dance track. Really cool! I recently bought the complete album, … awesome!
• Tiff Lacey – Show Me The Way – A beautiful small simple song. Incredible!

Enjoy these great musical beauties!

I just finished my entry into the Röyskopp – Tricky Tricky remix contest. I really enjoyed this one, as I enjoyed the James Yuill remix. It is very cool to have the opportunity to work with high quality vocals.

I have mentioned before that Twitter is like a big pool of unlimited information. Many people share their like and dislikes on so many subjects. My personal favorit is when people share their love for music. I LOVE music. For me it is exciting to find new artists recommended by other Twitter members. So here are (again) several music tips that I really enjoyed. Maybe you will too!?

• Team9 – Just plain cool music projects…
• CocoRosie – God Has A Voice, She Speaks Through Me – So weird but so cool!
• 3kStatic – Projected Tones – my favorit…
• Tiff Lacey – Check out Still Here, beautifull track…

Yes, yes. This turns out to be a great week for my music. First I get featured at Tara Busch’s Analog Suicide Free MP3 Monday. And yesterday I got an email from FilterMagazine that I have been chosen by James Yuill himself as the winner of the ‘No Pins Allowed’ remix contest. What an honour! If you don’t know the original it is a poppy, dancy, electro track. My remix continued on that and I made a full blown dance remix for it.
