Trance, a primer with Blake by will
January 23, 2008Trance music is melodic beats with beautiful vocals, music that touches the soul. For the past five years its kept Blake up when he was down and even happier when he was already flying high. The general perception is that trance, techno, or house is the dance music you hear in clubs, but once you listen, it becomes so much more. Blake encourages all of you reading this to give it a shot, whether youre listening to it while working out, driving, or relaxing trance music will soothe your soul in ways you can’t imagine. There are so many different types of dance music its ridiculous!! Lets see there is Trance, Techno, Electro, House, Psy-Trance, Hard Dance, Hardcore, Tech House, Chill, Progressice House, Progressive Trance it keeps going and going! If you so desire go check out www.beatport.com they have all the genres with a HUGE database of all the top Dj’s in the industry. There you will be able to listen to every genre and get a feel for what you like best!
Blake just started mixing a month ago and its been an unbelieveable experience. He’s starting out right now making mixes at home on the computer and mixing LIVE on stickam which is really cool cause he has a little audience. =] So far people have really enjoyed what he’s played and its a really good feeling! “Like i said ive been listening to Trance for about 5 years now and i feel like im developing a really good ear for it! Its my passion and its one of the funnest hobbies ive had! Well almost, i really enjoy flexing for you guys too.” Most of the stuff he plays at the current time is music Top Dj’s have produced. There are two types of people in the music industry, people who mix and people who produce. The best do both! Right now Blakker’s is working on his mixing skills and hopefully down the road he can dive into producing his own Trance!
Trance can be done on the computer but the best way to do it, according to Blake, is the old school way, 2 turntables, your vinyls, and a mixer! Though the industry seems to be going digital now instead of having two turntables. Still, its alot easier to mix a wav or mp3 file from you computer then it is to have to carry around a bag full of vinyls! He think a lot of his training just came from listening to the music for so long! It almost seems like its coming naturally for him! Basically he went on ebay and got a mixer that he thought would work for him and then he just started! The only downfall so far has been paying for the programs that you have to use with the mixer! They are outrageously priced! If anyone is wanting to start, Blake advises ”Just DO IT.” The more practice you get the better you will become. Anything you put your mind too will be learned and over time you will see improvement!
In the Camwithim forums he has uploaded ALL the mixes he did for FREE! You can listen to some of the newest and best trance out by downloading his mixes. Blake says, “I hope to keep you all entertained by Cam and by Stereo!” xoxo
thanks Blakkers!

January 14, 2008Hey guys and girls, I just wanted you all to know I started back at the gym after a 5 1/2 month break but straight up eating and drinking, I moved back home to finish my schooling and I feel that I may be back on track. All and all, I wanted to inform you that I’ve been having some problems with my member/chats lately and I am trying to figure out the technical problems, some think it’s my wireless router, others think it’s a firewall, yet I still can’t come to a conclusion. I am trying to get onto the P-chats a lot more and hope that you all will come in for a visit. I will keep you posted with my progress in the upcoming future.

January 13, 2008Hey eveyone, this is my first blog post. Just wanted to give everyone an up date on whats happening in my life at the moment. I am trying to sell my house so i can move back to the city. I’ve been in a small town outside the city (the town i grew up in) for about 5 years now and its driving me crazy. It’s way to boring but as you probably know the housing market sucks right now and I am having a bitch of a time trying to sell my house. I am looking at buying a new loft in the city. They are about 1,000 sq feet all open with 15′ high ceilings. New stainless steal appliences, hardwood floors, marble tile in the kitchen and bathroom…real sharp looking. They are also in the heart of the city right were all the action is and for now thats were i want to be. I will try to download some pictures of the lofts and post them soon. Take care ~ wishing everyone health, happiness and prosperity in the new year.
-Kevin

January 7, 2008Hey bloggers…Happy New Year! I hope this year will be as productive for you as I have it set for myself. I’ll be going back to school tomorrow and it will be a HARD semester for me. I’ll be doing 18 credits with three labs in Chem, Bio, and Physics…Yuk. I’ve been enjoying my three and a half week vacation away from school and with doing memberchats once again. I’ll be absent from memberchatting since my campus blocks certain features that CWH uses though I will be P-chatting often so I hope to see you online chattign with me.
Best wishes,
Dom
