Very well, ADE 2012 has wrapped up, and I had a wonderful time: I attended several excellent talk panels with EDM industry’s gurus. I hung out with Carl Cox. I interviewed the director of music for Last.fm Chris Price. I chilled with Danny Tenaglia, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Laidback Luke….
And so, the Electronic Dance Music gig of the year begins. There are three things going on concurrently in town:
OK, it’s been a long road, but I am on schedule. My blog was released on October 8, and my main goal (other than to make it safely to Holland for the Amsterdam Dance Event 2012) for WEEK #1 was to start distributing my legacy track that you know as FuseRave. It has been remixed nicely a couple of times – mostly in Canada, US and Eastern Europe – for a variety or harder and softer dance floors, but I think the most successful version of it is the one that contains the thick dubstep section. Well, behold, cuz here it is in a new form. By the way, I called it FuseRave because I think that this word represents my personal style of music – the style that suits my artistic persona and my aspirations. The ‘fuse’ part represents…..
Amsterdam – as usual – offers surprises and fun beyond those found elsewhere. I have arrived. The flight lasted half an hour less than usual because we were inside a stormy wind pipe blowing Eastward. So the plane was shaking bad most of the way. A stewardess walking down the isle (no, she wasn’t getting married) tripped and stepped on my foot (and as a result was risking to die of causes unrelated to bad weather or a plain crash)….
EDM (electronic dance music) is what I love, and this EDM blog is where I share my story. I was born as Alex, but when on stage, my name is Luke – Luke Kelvin, or simply BPMstr – the Artist of the Tempo. My website BPMstr.com is finally up, and this is officially the first week of my quest to make at least three new tracks every month. Do you think I can do it? We’ll see. But I do need your help to succeed. If you take a few minutes to browse through the photo gallery included in this EDM blog below, you will know all the relevant marks in my life that lead to today’s undertaking. Or if you want the long version, please read on: my progress will be 10-fold faster if someone follows me and helps me along – and that would be you.
The story of my past life (which is not the topic of my blog) is simple and in some ways easy to relate to: I had a perfectly normal childhood for an Eastern European child: I had some fun, played ball, and got good and bad marks in school. I usually worked hard at things I did, and some of my activities I pursued with more passion than others. At the age of seven, I started learning piano and music theory,…..
