Lx7#043 - The Renovations Are Still Going On
The renovations are taking alot longer then expected, but here are some of the results of some of the renos that have kept me out of the studio. While this might *NOT* be the studio... it's a huge milestone in the project plan. Think of this less of a music podcast, and more as a vLog update.

Lx7#042 - Renovations At The New Studio
My life is in boxes, physical boxes in various storage lockers around the city. Here is an update on the new studio space and a brief tour of the layout. It might not look perfect, but definitely a step up from my previous basement.

Lx7#041 - The End of my Studio 1
This episode is a goodbye to my current studio, but the Lx7 podcast is not over. It's been a summer of planning, for season 3 of the show. After 2 years of working in the basement, it's time I got organized and had something more.

Lx7#040 - A Short Visual History of EDM Hardware
At Beats Breaks and Culture, Play De Record sponsored a gallery installation that tracked some of the hardware used to make electronic music. What all started with Leon Theremin has evolved into an ever increasing array of synths and software that is technology music. This installation is interesting but brief. I like it because it shows some of the major innovations in user interface from the SP1200 through to the tr-909. Check out some of the gear that makes our music possible.

vLog#009 - Sunday Afternoon @ Cherry Beach check...
On the edge of the Toronto docklands is a small park called Cherry Beach, or M5A 1A1 if you go by the postal code. And for the past couple of years Promise has been busy holding free electronic day events. A summer ritual that started back in 2000. The event started out as a rengade event, and has had it's share of hurdles to overcome. I've spent a couple of sunny sunday afternoons and evenings hanging out at Cherry Beach for these Promise events. The guys who run it (Dave Macleod and Irving S...

Lx7#039 - Theo Parrish do it cause you're _____...
I've been a fan of Theo Parrish (Last.fm | Discogs) since i first heard First Floor. I'd been traveling to Detroit buying pretty much anything that I found at Record Time that sparked my interest, and that album was just so deep and so interesting. So when he was here in Toronto I picked it as a prime opportunity to grab the camera and share his thoughts. If you haven't read my review of the event at Crosstown; it was stellar. I had thought of recording the event itself, but figured it would b...

Lx7#038 - A NIN remix with the Butcher of Detroit
I've known Sean (The Butcher of Detroit) for ages from his visits up to Toronto to buy records and hang out for Carabana. So while I was in Detroit for DEMF, Sean had me over to check out his basement studio and run through some of his favorite the records and mixes before the Detroit Techno Militia release party. He has quite a collection of records and a number of vinyl gems that I was drooling over; but out of nowhere, he pulls out a NIN 12'inch. I'm a fan of Trent Reznor and the music he m...

Lx7#037 - DEMF - Camera Chaos With Anthony Shaki...
My attempts to spend some time with Anthony Shakir (Last.fm | Discogs) on camera seemed fraught with problems... every time I planned on interviewing him, he would disappear. Having been a fan of his music since his release Club Scam II on Frictional Recordings, I've always wanted to meet him. Add to the mix, stories about his production skills and off beat personality, I wanted to say hi.. and introduce myself. While we had been writing through a chance meeting on the 313 mailing list, it was...

Lx7#036 - DEMF, DJ Di'jital Oldschool Tracks and...
When I first started visiting detroit I had a chance meeting with DJ Di'jital (Last.fm | Discogs) outside of Record Time. He had no idea who I was,... but for years after the chance conversation haunted me. I bought an ASR-X off of another UR artist who releases by the name Perception, and the three of us talked briefly about making music on the machine.Running into him at DEMF was the perfect opportunity to finally ask him some of the questions I always wanted to know... so with fading sunlig...
