THE LEARNING CURVE PROJECT

This is a my personal, yet public, journal of my attempt to learn and put into practise the art of making house music to be played in a club. Like many hobbyists out there, I would like the chance to take my music from the bedroom to the main room.

I will not be cutting any corners as I venture on this journey as I go from point A to B and finally to Z in the next year.

Along the way I will be investigating the different genres of house music. Anyone that has an interest in this style of music knows that there are more styles that I can shake a stick at, but I will do my best. I’m also hoping my peers who have made a success in this industry will provide feedback, give professional advice, and answer any questions I may have. It doesn’t matter what style of music or how big they’ve made it, we all have to start somewhere and hopefully, they can share their experiences with me.

I invite you to get involved as well by sharing your story, no matter what it is you do and maybe we can all learn from each others gains and losses.

Final note: I have recently learned that there is a rock band called "The Learning Curve" after setting up this page. I have nothing to do with them and apologise for any confusion.

HitMe1 invasion PT2

As promised this is a follow up to the last review on HitMe1. Been using the site over the last couple of weeks and I can reveal it has been a good experience. I have been able to learn a few more things about the site.

I MISS YOU UPDATE+COLLAB PROSPECTS

Yesterday I entered my track into a competition and it’ll be judged by professionals and hopefully get to the final stage. In the meantime I’ve been instructed to not allow my track to be downloaded and have to set it to private. If you haven’t already got a copy or heard it then I give you my sincere apologies. You can, on the plus side go to last.fm and hear the instrumental version via link in on my page. Or you can join Soundcloud if you haven’t already and inbox me, and I will add you to the list.

Also, I would like to put it out there that if you can sing and/or rap, I would like to work with you. All you need is a decent microphone to record your vocals and I will do the rest.

The HitMe1 invasion

I got an almighty shock when I saw the HitMe1 post without my knowledge on my page. At first I thought, “Bollocks, I’ve been hacked!” I really have no clue how it ended up there and I intend to get to the bottom of this real soon.

In the meantime, for anyone who was not interested enough to look them up I’ll give you a quick unbiased review:

HOW COST EFFECTIVE IS A REMIX?

Getting a remix done of your track can result in a world of wonders. For starters, it can give your track a refreshing new start, not only in the genre it was originally made for, but also a chance to cross over to a wider audience, depending on what type of remix you get done.

CREATING YOUR OWN RECORD LABEL

At first, I was going to sit down and start a long post about how to set up a record company. When it came time to research stuff, I remembered why I never started my own legally registered company. I just find it boring as hell. Even thinking about it was putting me sleep. When I tried to fight it, the sleep deprivation was making a phone call to say hello.
