Vocal Booth live 11.3.10 by andyward

Stopping off in Seoul and Hong Kong, I had a great time with some cool people.
I could write a big report, but I will let the videos tell you all the interesting stuff… enjoy

Screama Simplicity and Vocals BM are well known on the UK music circuit, hailing from Birmingham. I was sent a demo of the original mix by Stuart Morton of Monkey Beats who thought I might be able to deliver this to a wider soulful house audience. He wasn’t wrong.

What I love about this track is the sentiment in the song and the great way it has been put together. I loved the original so much, that I simply reworked all of the original parts making it more floor friendly. It may sound a little fast at 130bpm to some, nothing a slight adjustment on the CDJ won’t fix !

If you prefer your music a little more laid back, then I suggest you check out the amazing remixes from Danny J Lewis. Slowed right down and laced with soul, these are sure to get the heads knodding and give the guys the exposure they deserve. A selection of mixes can be heard on the promo video below.

Re-branded for a Soulful audience, Sounds of the Booth are proud to present:

Shaun Tee ft Leo LeVox – Rescue Me.

Available digitally from www.traxsource.com now.

If you are feeling this track, please forward this to all your contacts and help the guys get a good early position in the download charts.

Last weekend I had a great time in Swindon for Nite Life @ Envy. Rocking thru till 4am with all the crew and joined by the amazing Ash on percussion and trumpet, it was a great trip back to the UK and I look forward to a repeat performance ASAP.

Tomorrow I fly to S Korea, playing in Seoul for Soul Heaven, moving onto Hong Kong on Saturday. I am looking forward the gigs, I am NOT looking forward to the nightmare journey to Seoul with a 4am start.
I have a great few parties lined up over the coming months, whenever I can I always post the info/flyers here.

Also tomorrow, watch out for the new release on Sounds of the Booth, I have scheduled a new blog to get automatically sent with the purchase link and track details.

We are a few weeks away from releasing the hotel and area information for The Vocal Booth Weekender in September, the initial response has been amazing even though we are still over six months away from the event. If you have subscribed to the blog to get info first so you can book your room, then drop me an email – thevocalbooth@hotmail.co.uk. The main hotel is already over half full (people who came last year had reserved their places already) so get your name down now for one, you won’t have to pay anything until 3rd April when I will be releasing the info to the rest of the people… get ready for the stampede ! If you don’t make it into the main hotel don’t panic, the aparthotel is very close and may even be better for some groups.

The next party for the Vocal Booth will once again be a collaboration with Uber in Birmingham. They recently had an amazing party with Karizma and ATJazz, continuing to bring the heat to the second city will be myself alongside the residents and The Fanatix on Saturday May 1st.

Due to my Asia commitments, there will be no Vocal Booth live this Thursday, and the podcast will be a repeat of one of the first episodes.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support.

Vocal Booth live, 25.2.10 by andyward

It’s a fair way to go for a weekend, but I am looking forward to visiting Seoul for the first time and returning to Hong Kong to see some familiar faces.

Friday 5th March – Seoul (awaiting artwork)

Saturday 6th March – Hong Kong

I have just spent the day producing an exclusive radio show for Soul Heaven which also highlights the CD, with interviews from the residents plus some very special guests… info to follow after the weekend.

Started off on Thursday morning, after an early drive to the airport I was greeted with the news of a 5 hour delay with Easyjet. I’m used to sitting around in airports so made myself busy with a big fat baguette and tried to sort out my connection problems upon arriving in Geneva.
Manuel Walti, aka Miles Numan, was busy preparing for the night’s party but did a great job in gettin me tickets and onto a train, 13 hours after leaving my house I arrived in Aarau. Miles was on hand for the short drive to Lensburg.

Into the Nightshift bar where Maik Pederson was on the decks. A cosy litle venue with around 100 or so people in, waiting for the Vocal Booth to go live on Pressure Radio. Finally, an hour late, we went on air. Click below to listen or click here to download to your computer.

Vocal Booth live from Switzerland, 18.2.10 by andyward

The night was a great success and it was lovely meeting up with all the crew that came to the Vocal Booth Weekender last year and other friends. Renato, Miles, Luca, Maik, Sandro, Felicia, Thomas, Remo and the rest of the crew got the proceedings well under way. It was also great to finally meet Benjamin from Artillery, the guy responsible for putting together my lovely new site.
After the show we went in search of the illusive late night meal, which ended up being a packet of crisps and a raspberry tart from a vending machine.. rock and roll !

Friday was a chilled day, spent mainly preparing some more of my studio projects for mixdown. On the evening we took a drive to Zurich where I was interviewed on Radio 24 by Pea Weber and then aired a guest mix. Back to Aarau for some liquid refreshment, sampling a wonderful concoction of Luca’s simply called “Seriously!”
I decided against one and had a sensible early night, if you can call 1am sensible.

Same deal for Saturday, chilling, surfing the net and watching movies, preparing myself for the long night ahead. At 6pm we all went for dinner, and at 9pm it was time for drinks at the club.

A very impressive number of friends of the crew all arrived for pre-party VIP business, I was greeted by the beaming face of Valentino of ‘UDM show’ fame. We had a good catch up and watched the club fill up nicely, grooving to the sounds of Jack and the Jerk on the warm up set. Terry Lex also made the journey to the club that night and he gave me a run down on all the projects he has forthcoming in the studio, good luck with it all, mate !
Continuing the music, Maik & Miles took to the decks and got the crowd going, one of the biggest reactions of the night had to go to the “Babylonia” remix from Balearic Soul. By the time I was ready to come on, the club was packed and we got to it.
I’m not sure why, but I never totally felt relaxed whilst playing even though I was enjoying myself.. the crowd on the heaving floor were rocking all the way with me but those on the outskirts seemed to stand and watch, which made me ever conscious of every track I played. To close the party the guys came back on with some classic tunes that I really enjoyed having a boogie to and everyone went home with a big smile on their faces.

Well done Groovenite & congrats on 10 glorious years !

Be sure to check out the Vocal Booth this Thursday, where I will be airing my set from the night.  It has some of my favourite current tracks within as well as the obligatory hands-in-the-air tunes for those peak time moments.

PODCASTS

These are mixes/shows that are put on line and come direct to your inbox or iTunes folder automatically.  They are perfect for listening to on your way to work and the beauty is that you chose where they get stored and listen to them at your convenience, never missing your favourite show again.  If storage is an issue (running out of space on your computer) then clean up your main drive by buying an external hard drive and transferring a lot of the files over there.

I currently have two podcasts.  One is my own podcast with Podomatic.  This will generally be a studio mix or live session, whether new or old, and the occasional Vocal Booth radio show if it’s something special.

If you use iTunes, then click here, if not then click here and follow the instructions.  They should be very straightforward.

Once subscribing there, then you can also subscribe to my Vocal Booth Club Sessions @ SSradiouk.com.   The site only allows you to subscribe through iTunes, click here.

The Vocal Booth goes live every Thursday @ 8pm GMT on www.pressureradio.co.uk.  If you are on a pc just click here to listen.   Mac users, click here.  If you cannot make the show, then you can always listen again via my Soundcloud page.

SOUNDCLOUD

A great site where you can get the radio show again as soon as it is uploaded.  While it is a wonderful facility, the only downside of this is that you have to remember to visit the page to get the new shows. Take a look here.

How to receive all of the above in one common place:

Take a look at this very simple video explaining RSS feeds.

If you are on a mac it is very straightforward.  Simply click here, you will then be asked which programme to use, all you have to do is use the Mail.app.

As I always post a blog once any of the above get updated, you will automatically get the information yourself.  The weeks fly by so fast nowadays that it is all too easy to miss something.. this eliminates any such worry.

All you will receive from me on my blog is music related information.  If you are a friend on facebook or myspace then you really should be subscribed to my feeds here.

If there is anything you are not sure about here, feel free to send me a mail here.

Did I miss anything ?

Good times with good people, this is what house music is all about.

I will try to go through the mix and get a tracklist together at some point.
