I feel this is quite a big milestone for me, for about 3 or 4 years now i have been working towards this point, i started out DJ'ing when I was 17 with a different plan to most other bedroom DJs, my plan was that being a big DJ would never be my main goal, it would only be a stepping stone to the next level... production.
I have studied music production at various different levels and analysed music inside and out, however, when it came to making my own i was confronted by quite a large problem... what is my style?
I'd never thought of it before, when i DJ i play whatever the hell i want, house, electro, techno, minimal, 80's, 90's etc. But when it comes to production everyone has their own unique sound. I had no idea where to start.
So i came up with a plan, and quite a good one i think. A concept album... sort of. I would make four tracks of different styles which i enjoyed the most, and from that i could work out where i wanted to go.
My first would be the distorted electro style, a sort of 'Ed Banger/Boys Noize' inspired sound, Justice, SebastiAn etc. But with a bit more of a beat.
My second would be the classic old school house style, fused with the similar Institubes style such as Surkin and Bobmo.
My third would be a minimal style inspired by various artists such as Gui Boratto, Andre Crom, Oliver Huntemann and Booka Shade.
And my fourth, well i'm still not 100% certain, but i'm thinking a style based on Daft Punk's Discovery album mixed with the old Italo Disco style.
So far i have made two of the four tracks, and here they are:
Correct Effect - Smoke and Lasers (Classic House)
Correct Effect - Effective (Distorted Electro)
These tracks are also on my new myspace page: www.myspace.com/correcteffect
My third is in the pipeline as we speak... I'll keep everyone updated.
