Hey all,

Hello Everybody!!

Just saying hello! I will be representing the East Coast and Canadian side of the electronic music scenes surrounding Buffalo & Toronto. Living in Buffalo, so much of what I post will be centered on the western NY region, but with the quality of music found out here, that’s not really a problem at all. Buffalo is a hidden gem of techno, house, and electro and is over looked on the national scene for larger spots like NYC. Although there is a lack of national acts visiting the area, the locals make up for it with a true passion and love for the music… And they do it well!

Soon I hope to have another website up with some links to mixes and productions from the guys out here, (maybe later this week) until then…

Peace,

Drew

Words of wisdom: don’t be the middle man

Nestled in the heart of downtown San Pedro, the San Pedro Brewery sits in between shops, restaurants and small clubs. Having the average selection of micro brews, the Brewery presents a small stage in the heart of the bar for local bands in the area to perform. On Friday, June 13th, the Brewery hosted Sean Lane & the Hellhounds & Somehow Still Alive to keep the bar rocking until the early morning hours.

Starting off the evening, the Hell Hounds brought a blues infused, rockabilly style sound to open it for my
local friends, Somehow Still Alive. The Hellhounds started out soulful and bluesy, getting the bar crowd bobbing their heads and tapping their feet to some of their soulful original tunes.

After about an hour, the Hellhounds ended their set after getting the bar warmed up for the main event! Around 11:45PM Somehow Still Alive started off their set with a bang, playing Frontline, my favorite track of their’s, early off in the set. The crowd was really responsive and you could feel the energy in the room. The guys played quite a few tracks off of their freshman release, Afterall as well as playing at least one new track I hadn’t heard throughout their set. By the end of their set the bar was up and arms and having a great time. All in all a great show although the bar’s stage was tiny in comparison to other hot spots for local talent in the area. Either way Somehow Still Alive put on a great performance and I am definitely looking to go see them again (maybe at a little bit bigger spot next time…).

First, there was the big bang. Next came our planet and the life present on it. Shortly after that, Sasha creates yet another 2 CD set that rocks people’s socks off, even those that were barefoot at the time!

I received an email from one of the many promotional companies that seem to posses my email address. This one came from AMG and gave details to the release of Sasha’s own emFire Collection, a 2x CD set sold both digitally and physically. Rather than trying to tell you all about it, here is the press release directly from the email:

SASHA - THE emFire COLLECTION

A definitive view of Sasha’s emFire catalogue featuring originals, remixes and his 40 minute award-winning score to the surf film ‘New Emissions Of Light and Sound’. The launch of Sasha’s emFire label was undoubtedly one of the main talking points during the last half of 2007. Four original tracks were released and the discussion raged: which was best or least favorite be it at home or in a club? Was Mongoose really Sasha? And, of course, Who Killed Sparky? Now the debate is set to continue as Sasha releases ‘The emFire Collection’ on Ultra Records. 2x Discs including ambient & club remixes from Audion, Radio Slave, Slam and the Field; the unreleased Spangled Rubdub of Coma, along with the previously unreleased score.

Now, although this may not be the latest piece of news out, I still wanted to make sure that I posted this. Main reason being is that Sasha is still a huge force in the EDM scene. His releases touch millions and everyone in the industry takes notice when a release is made. Sasha is leading the digital revolution and has, and hopefully always will be, a major player that pushes the limits of technology. This is definitely some music that is worth checking out.
