Last week I had to take the week off as Mrs Blinky had a burst appendix. Wasn’t much fun! To give you an idea – a normal appendectomy takes about 20 minutes, this one took 2 hours!

So after much ado I’m finally back in the studio working. Last night I uploaded the clips for BeatGeek’s next release Adamski007 – Hypnotic Fusion to our usual promo sites and overnight have received a heap of great feedback. It’s the 3rd in a series of “deeper” releases that we’ve been doing to show off some of the awesome underground music that’s going on here and the mastering from Danny coupled with some awesome mix down work from Andy Hart have really made for a sold package. You can check it out here.

There’s only 3 weeks left until i head to NZ to rock out with the guys from Floorplay and last night I finally got to rip out the APC40 and run through a few ideas. I will do a proper review when I have been able to give it the attention it deserves but for the time being all I know so far is that it’s awesome fun but has a few bugs so it’s looking like it might be staying home for the NZ gig while i rip it up with the BCR one last time.
 
There’s a lot coming up in the next couple of weeks but in the mean time here’s an interview that i did yesterday for the guys at www.cityvibes.co.nz

Thanks to Oliver Chesler for lightening up out Friday afternoon

I’ve always been an apprehensive collaborator; each time I get some good creative hours in the studio I really zone in (or out might be a closer description). The vast majority of time spent in a studio for anyone is spent exploring and crafting those sounds that at first sound awful but after time spent on loop they’re whittled into something nice. But this pivotal point of production for me – the discovery process- has always been the pitfall of studio collaboration. » More: Is Three The Magic Number?
