show this saturday!

So I've mostly just been getting ready for the show this Saturday, and I always have issues with deciding which tracks to play, and whether to try to finish something new up in time for the show, which usually doesn't happen yet sometimes does.

Some tracks are more fun for me to perform than others, while some songs may be crowd favorites for the music or they like it on the album, they can be less interesting to sing, which is what I'm doing most of the time on stage. Seriously, I'm trying to entertain myself up there as much as anyone watching..

Right now I'm facing a cover track I started a month ago that sounds good but maybe too "nice" for a stage show. I'm thinking about reprogramming it to make it less perfect and more chaotic and random. Funny, right? Electronic musicians face this problem all the time... how to make the music sound like 20 real instruments in front of you. So, yeah. I'm not sure yet, we'll see. Wish me luck.

Also, the Vigilante Remix I did a few months back was released on their EP, "Juicio Final", and I'm happy about it. The disc overall is a Spanish version of several of their regular tracks plus remixes by Funker Vogt, Z Prochek, me, etc, it's pretty good, you can get it on Black Rain or distributed through COP here.



Thanks for your interest!
