Reason 4.0: Thor Tutorials.

I have to admit THOR has definitely been one of the toughest Reason racks to learn. I thought the Malstrom had a lot of knobs/buttons but Thor probably has twice as many. I’ve been rolling with the presets and them tweaking to get the sound that I want but I always wanted to know how to build sounds from scratch with this thing…

Congrats to M-Phazes

Winner of the 2008 One Stop Shop producer battle. This dude took the Gold all the way back to Australia. I’m still surprised how many people haven’t heard of him yet but I’m sure you will hear about this dude real soon. Chances are he’s already worked with your favorite rapper…

DJ Khalil is NASTY with Reason

Never knew this dude was using Reason nor did I know he was this crazy with it. Now I’m even more amazed by DJ Khalil’s music.
It’s good to hear Nas on top of a beat that fits his tone and cadence.

Wale inks it up with Interscope records.

Man, I’ve got to say I wasn’t really sold on Wale when I first heard his music a few years ago. But After his last lash of mixtapes & promo cuts, I’ve come around full circle. Dude can SPIT. And he talks about REAL situations. I’m excited to see where he’ll take this music thing. He’s always been about putting D.C./MD/VA (DMV) on the map so I’m hoping Interscope doesn’t suck that…

R.I.P. Static 1976 — 2008.

I’m taking a small step away from Production today to talk about the loss of one of today’s best song writers. Stephen ‘Static’ Garret. This dude wrote CLASSICS for damn near everybody in Timbaland’s camp from Ginuwine(Pony, So Anxious), to Aaliyah(Are You That Somebody, Rock the Boat, More Than a Woman). He’s done work with Destiny’s Child, Truth Hurts, Jamie Foxx…
