Dave Seaman & Funkagenda – Mighty Ming (Timothy Allan Remix)

TA — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 01:48:08 +0000

Out July 21, 2010 on the slamming Toolroom Records is the re-rub by Dave and Funkagenda, with myself and D. Ramirez on the remix duties.

Two of house music’s most highly sought after talents in Funkagenda and Dave Seaman team up for
Toolroom Trax’s next release, a devilishly dark re-rub of ‘The Mighty Ming’.

Having conquered both the underground and commercial floors, Dave Seaman has enjoyed success for well over a decade with remixes and productions for the likes of New Order through to Michael Jackson and shows no intention of resting on his laurels with this superb release. Funkagenda continues to impress with his unique, forward-thinking productions and stunning DJ sets moving the biggest global dancefloors from Ministry of Sound, London to Space, Ibiza.

‘The Mighty Ming’ is a monstrous track that takes you on a dark and distinctive foray into some gritty tones. A sharp, resonating bass grinds away beneath some tight beats and oriental tinted percussion. Eastern tinged stabs punch through the mix with vocal cuts and side-chained pads propelling this into a peak time bomb.

On remix duties is the sublime D.Ramirez, providing a mighty remix in his own inimitable style. He combines an old school flavour with warm, crisp synths and a euphoric breakdown that will have the party-goers raising their hands in the air. Timothy Allan completes the remix package on a deeper note with flickering percussion, deep bass tones and a mix of arpeggios and driving synths making for a great take on the original.

Hotel Radio EP

TA — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:03:09 +0000

Out through System Recordings is my 3 track EP titled “Hotel Radio”!

The tracks range from the quirky “Bugger It” which was the remix fodder for the successful remix comp from last month, to the chuggy “Listening to a Sample” and finally the darker “Try Outs”.

Check it out on Beatport!

Update: Previews are a go!

The track “Listening To A Sample” was an idea that stemmed from the watermark I put on my website preview tracks. I ended up making a whole track about it! Check out the preview of the funk below the cover image.

The KULT of Timothy Allan

TA — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 23:22:47 +0000

It’s about time I released some original material! Out today on the lovely KULT records is an album containing 4 brand new originals, and 4 instrumentals of vocal remixes I’ve done in the recent past. Every now and then KULT records in NY do an artist series where they release an artist album entitled “The KULT of xxx”. Well, it’s my turn to be xxx.

They’re all tunes I’m really happy with, my best work to date. They range from cruisy mellow melodic prog/tech to big room banging club. All the tracks all full club mixes as well, perfect for playing out. If I was to pull out some comparison names it’d have to be folks like Booka Shade, Chris Lake, Anjunabeats, even some Axwell.

No previews here, but there are full previews of all the tracks on Beatport, check it out here: Beatport!

Producing House Music With Ableton Live: Bass and Synth

TA — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 05:08:17 +0000

You asked for more video tutorials, and now they’re back!

My first video in the series was so well received, and so many people asked for a second one… that I’ve decided to do another! This whole video focuses on tips for Synths and Bass for House and EDM in general.

As with my first video in the series, this one is aimed towards beginner to intermediate producers who want to fast-track the production learning curve. However, in some sections I’ve tried to cater for all levels, so I’m sure that even the more experienced producers will also gain a tip or two.

Here’s the scoop on what’s included:

Almost 2 and 1/2 hours of tutorials covering goodies such as:

Making a Bass from any Sample
Tuning Sampled Bass
Bass Keying with the Drums
Bass EQ without an EQ
Bass Layering
Resampling Bass Notes
Frequency Splitting
Sidechaining Bass
Sequencing Basslines
MIDI Resampling
Sequence using your Voice
Filter & Env Modulation
Break it Down
Sub Bass Tips
Sub Bass Kick
Synth Swells
Matching Kick & Bass
Dubstep & Wobble Basslines
Creating a Bass Bomb

Some of the tips involving complex midi routing etc are pretty Live specific, but I’d say that 85% of the content can be applied to any DAW.

Preview video and more info can be found here:

Update: Music Tech Magazine has reviewed the video with an 8/10 rating. Click the image for the full review!

Fiord – Keen String (Timothy Allan Remix)

TA — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 23:38:52 +0000

Out now on Open Records is a remix i’ve done for the Fiord boys which was one of the winners of their remix contest they held a while back. I’m just waiting for the mastered version and you’ll be able to check a preview and hit up Beatport if you are… keen on it… HARHAR! Beatport link is HERE and the official release info is below:

It is in this party spirit that Open Records is giving our fans both at home and abroad a special Christmas treat in the shape of Fiord’s Keen String Remixes EP, featuring 7 top tracks including four winners from our remix competition earlier this year.

The end result was almost overwhelming and with over 200 entries from all corners of the globe, we decided the standard was so high to declare four equal winners in a variety of styles to join Open Records artists Fiord, GMJ and Eegor on our final release for 2009.

Canadian-born, Melbourne-based producer Timothy Allan immediately impressed with his sophisticated melodic progressive house interpretation, while another Melbourne producer, Blinky, also proved he is a name to watch with a driving progressive techno bomb.

Mexico’s Interactive Noise caught our ear with a big outdoor festival stormer, while New Zealand act Opiuo rounds the EP off in spectacular style with a glitchy, bass-heavy broken beat monster that has been tried and tested at events all over the globe.

Open Records are proud to work with these exciting artists and thanks everyone for their efforts in the Keen String Remix Competition.
