The Single I'm Really Excited to Release!

Hi Guys and Gals,

After months, I can finally formally announce my latest single Disko Dive. 

This is a breaks tune that I am happy to say really sounds different. It was initially done to have some vocals in some parts but due to a lack of time, I wasn't able to but it turned out better than I expected. 

I sent it out to labels and was favored to be picked up by UK label Acidphonic Records! I was really excited about that and with this single, the plus on top was that I got to be remixed by Anarchy Rice and ACADA! Who would've thought that one day, I'd get to release a UK single with artists from Europe remixing my tunes, right? It really is a blessing! 

The release is a full on trio of pumping breaks tracks with my original mix plus the 2 remixes, which is currently a Beatport exclusive so get yours now!

With that, I present Disko Dive.

Get it here :)

Enjoy!

Thanks and God bless!

Life Begins at 40!

[[posterous-content:pid___0]]This time around, it's my first ever American Strat. It's a Fender Strat Plus 40th anniv model. 

I love this guitar to bits coz it was my first Fender. It sounds awesome as well. Having this along with Johnny gives me 2 totally different sounds. This one is cleaner for recording though coz it has Fender Lace Sensor Gold's. One thing I was excited about it before was it's the same pups on Claptons early sig model hehe And finally, you gotta admit, the sunburst really gets you. Ever since I was a kid, strats on my mind were always sunburst and I've loved it even before I was into playing music so when the time came that this was being sold, I grabbed the chance and have been smiling since :)

Debbie...

See the full gallery on Posterous

I don't really name my guitars but for the sake of the post, I figured it would be fun to name her Debbie. I think it's pretty self explanatory if you're a kid from the 80s having an older sister hehe 

I'm really a strat guy so I don't see myself adding anoth LP to the stable at all. Another Gibson, yes... probably an explorer. But no more LPs for me :)

First There Was Sunburst...

[[posterous-content:pid___0]]I've always loved sunburst guitars ever since I was a kid. After searching high ang low and waiting for the right guitars to come along, here are the remaining and last sunbursts I'll ever have :)

The strat I got the moment the owner posted it for sale. I was actually racing against other people to get it but I won (thank you, Lord)! It's now my main recording guitar especially for client work. 

The tele, well here's the short story... I once had an 83 Fender MIA and sold it to this guy... a few months or I think a year down the road, he posts this tele for sale and the rest is history. At this time, I was set on getting this I even sold some of my synths. At that time, I realized that it was better investing in guitars coz it retains its value more than synths and that's when I got it... love it! It's not as sharp sounding with that usual tele bite like most people look for in a Tele but I found that I prefer its more rounded tone retaining that "tele sound" which I really like especially when I'm playing with my band, Lovecore.

Enjoy!
