Phew, what a year!
Added 2024-12-20 14:13:18 +0000 UTCWhat a year it's been! I thought it might be interesting to look back and see what went down
(Btw leave a comment and let me know where youβre from and how year went...I wanna know and hear from you!)
πNon-stop mixing and mastering music. Over 450 songs incl. full mixes, stem masters and stereo masters.
Full-time affair, clients varying from superstar DJs to hobbyists to major record labels.
RIAA award + Billboard nomination.
Ended the work year on a high note: another major mix (Warner/Atlantic).
π My Patreon page kept growing, hitting all-time high member count (800+ as we speak). Been doing exclusive production and mixing content non-stop.
New series βBreakbeat Of The Monthβ has been a highlight.
Trust me, ain't slowing down! Will continue to create content for paid members.
π§ Doing mix/production feedback/tuition on the side.
πΉ I managed to finish a 10-track album for Straight Up Breakbeat that I love dearly. It comes out in March 2025. Phew, I am so proud of itβ¦watch out next year!
πΆ βBalcony Acidβ EP came out on Metalheadz sister imprint, HeadzStateβ¦My 4th Headz affair.
πΆπΆ My βStarsβ remix vinyl for absolute DNB legends Source Direct came out on Odysee.
πΆπΆπΆ Was honored to have a track βPisceanβ on Laurent Garnier COD3 QR 016 vinyl compilation.
πΆπΆπΆπΆ I curated and released a DNB compilation βBreakbeat Brigadeβ by lesser heard artists on my own dear Lightless label. Iβd love to do way more of this if I had more time.
πΆπΆπΆπΆπΆ A jungle single, βGreen Fields Foreverβ, came out nicely before end of year. Thanks ODJ Dizzy for believing in my music: youβve been inspirational since mid-90s.
ππΉ Involved in NDA hardware testing for various devices
I am extremely grateful for all the demand and the fact that I do all this 100% as my living, from my work chair at home.
Hasnβt come easy and has taken (and does take) years and mountains of work, but itβs so worth it.
I couldnβt have it any other way: a decade of doing all this full-time and official now.
Now, a little break to work on more music.
Thanks to everyone supporting me βπ» β€οΈ

2024-12-20 17:01:23 +0000 UTCCongrats on a great year! We were listening to "Green Fields Forever" last night and I knew it was yours before my husband even told me what he was playing! Great track! ππ» I had a really good year. Made a number of connections, shared my music with people who have helped me get it ready to release, and I added being a vocalist to my repertoire. I don't hate the sound of my own singing voice anymore. All in all, a fantastic year where my hard work is starting to become evident. Still not paying off, but hopefully soon! π€π»
