In this blog post I won’t write too much because a video is worth a thousand words. In this case, there will be three videos. Each one explains a different way to make a bassline, like the ones I usually produce in my tracks. Creating this kind of basslines is a very simple process as you will see, even for an amateur producer. It’s simple but effective! So let’s get down to business. (more…)

Plague In Prague
Prague was one of those too short experiences that I wished it would last longer. It was the first time I played in Czech Republic and expectations were high.

How To Use Persistence To Stand Out
“Getting what you want is simple, but it’s not easy.” This quote by Mel Robbins represents one of my life mottos. In fact, if you think about it, it makes perfect sense. We all know what it takes to achieve our goals but in practice things are more complicated than they are in theory and sometimes we feel lost and many artists cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel because they give up. The truth is, if we don’t act we will always be in the same place. And this path was never easy. Simple but not easy. And it all boils down to one word – persistence. (more…)
4 Reasons Why You Should Make More Videos
Videos – they’re everywhere! Some become viral, others can transmit a powerful message. Increasingly, videos have a big impact on social networks and consequently on people’s lives, which is quite understandable because videos are very interactive. Let’s look at the example of YouTube channels like Cercle and Boiler Room. They had a great projection thanks to their originality. They managed to create a concept that is currently recognized on a global scale. It’s not just about the music, it’s the way it is shared to the public and fans. I’ve already realized the great advantage of videos in the musical success of an artist and I keep in mind that it was thanks to my DJ Mixes on YouTube that I got a lot of fans.

Hozho On Tour – Mauritius [With Video]
Mauritius, a paradise on Earth. One of those places that we see in Google images and we dream and think if someday we will have possibilities to go there. A few years ago, I didn’t realize that all this was going to happen in my life, at least not so soon. I thought that after creating this project it would take years before music would take me to other countries. But Mauritius? Who would have imagined that such a small country, an island with about one million people in the Indian Ocean, would have a community of ravers, lovers of electronic music? (more…)

Social Media for Music Artists – Be Present & Be Different
Let’s get straight to the point! Nowadays, if you (artists) don’t have a strong presence on digital platforms you will hardly get anywhere. Increasingly, people live on the Internet and wouldn’t be a smart move if you didn’t have an artistic profile on social networks. When I say people, I say fans! However, it’s not enough just to have an artistic profile because nowadays, almost all the artists have one. If you want to build or increase your fanbase you should think outside the box. You will hardly arouse public interest if you do the same thing that thousands of artists do. And I’m not just talking about music but also about communication, the way you interact with the audience.
Continuing the topic of my last post, I will talk about the importance of social media to increase your fanbase, approaching two main factors – Presence and Difference. (more…)
