  • yumla knows:technasia (charles siegling dj set)

    Wednesday, Oct 7, 2009 3:56AM / Members only


    Technasia is already a household name here in Asia, hailing from Hong Kong and with a massive following in Europe & Japan; the former production duo is now being pushed on as a solo live, production and DJ project by Charles Siegling.

    Yumla is proud to be hosting an exclusive DJ set from Technasia on Saturday 10th October 2009. Supported by Yumla residents Wendy Wenn & Ocean Lam, perhaps Hong Kong's finest minimal / tech-house DJs in their own right.

    The labels & artists surrounding all that is Technasia pretty much form the backbone of all that's good about contemporary techno; Jon Tejada, Joris Voorn, Dosem, Renato Cohen, Christian Smith, Steve Rachmad… the list of collaborations and connections is endless. 

    Be sure to check out the Technasia operated label – Sino Records – by browsing the tracks in the embedded Beatport player (below, requires Flash).

  • music sales

    Monday, Sep 14, 2009 1:49PM / Members only

    One thing I like about the digital age – is that when people *do* make the effort to buy music – the sales are packaged up with a huge amount of data: When & where & what file formats & with which other tunes from other labels were bought at the same time.

    Thankfully my distributor (Beatport) makes all this available in real time and for me, this data is actually the reward for making the music, and the breakdown of where my stuff is being consumed is by far the intriguing. So sales volume by territory for my most recent single:

    Australia

    USA

    France

    Argentina

    Spain

    Japan

    Hong Kong

    Austria

    Switzerland

    Luxembourg


    That's the 2010 world tour sorted out then :) ... Strangely missing are the UK and Germany, but I guess they have their own big local scenes and do not look so far afield for new music. I made no attempt to promote this record except on my blogs and did not try to get any press. Part laziness, part trying-to-get-above-the-background-noise requires more energy than I have to commit to music these days.


    Just finishing the last few touches to the next single this week, keep an eye out for that!

  • Black Eyed Peas suck ass

    Saturday, Sep 12, 2009 4:54PM / Members only

    I couldn't have summed this up better myself. Check the video below for a nice little internet rant.

    I saw the BEP track accidentally on MTV at the Marriot and quite frankly this pile of shit was worse than the latest auto-tuned effort from Madonna which preceded it... right after BEP finished there was some other crap featuring P.Diddy and/or Kayne West and/or Obama or whoever the hell it was deemed necessary by the label to appear on some otherwise anonymous track in order to sell ring-tones... I was still in shock from the BEP atrocity I couldn't even remember who was in the following video. 

    Equally bad was some electrofied UK cross dressing bint called La Roux who was trying really REALLY hard to be the day-glo comic version of Nick Kershaw. Awful. Seriously – and I can't stand Lady Gaga's music – but Lady Gaga was the best produced track during the 15 minutes I had MTV switched on. And I switched it off halfway through her current video. No wonder she's popular. There is no competition.

  • finding wisdom in the strangest of places

    Friday, Sep 4, 2009 2:23PM / Members only

    Sat watching some movies on the flight back from Thailand; I am not a film snob at 30,000 feet so switched over to watch the end of Pirates of the Caribbean III ... 

    I must've missed the following dialog at the cinema – was probably asleep. Johnny Depp's first line is not necessary but helps with context, it's the second line (delivered by Keith Richards no less) which caught my attention and brought a smile to my face:

    Jack: What? You've seen it all, done it all, you survived. That's the trick, isn't it? To survive.

    Capt. Teague: It's not just about living forever, Jackie. The trick is, living with yourself, forever.

    allo Dan, hope you are well.

    i was chatting with Davy the other day and he mentioned that you sometimes look for vocalist, i was at Yumla a few weeks ago and i think it was you spinning, but i didn't know that you are "Dan F", therefore i didn't come up to say hi.

    anyway.. i'll be in town til mid Sept, then away again until Oct, if you need someone to collab just let me know!

    my number 62537314

    peace!

    Hey Dan,

    It's been a long time since I've checked you out but I was going through my blog again today and I remembered about the reply you gave in regard to the collaboration album me and Ghost Souljah put out.
    It's been about a year and a bit now and I felt my stuff had improved enough for me to release my own debut album, and its now officially out.

    I'd be extremely grateful if you took a look at it, gave it a listen and told me what you think.

    you can read the quick blog entry about it there and then download it, or just download it straight from this link: http://www.filedropper.com/soundsfromthesoul

    cheers man, hope your summer and travels to japan where as good as you write they were!

    Etchy - yeah, I don't get it really ... we saw *no* fucked up people in the club over there (absolutely wasted and going for it, yes ... but no zombies) plus even at the point where local gangsters turned up later in the evening, it really didn't have that much of an affect... they just came out to drink & party like everyone else.

    I may have had an altered view due to the people I was hanging out with (DJs, promoters and the ppl who introduced themselves throughout the night), but it certainly *felt* a lot less dodgy than HK.

    Had the same venue existed here then there would have been a number of K-heads asleep on the floor by midnight, probably some tension between triad kids at some point then the Police turning up at 2AM to ID everyone and/or shut it down due to noise / capacity / suspicion of drugs. Fucking depressing actually.
