Lady Gaga Monster Ball
Read more . . . →On the Nov. 27 stop in Montreal of her Monster Ball tour, Lady GaGa was joined onstage by opener Kid Cudi. It's somewhat obvious that this collaborative stage performance would occur -- Cudi's "Make Her Say" samples Gaga's piano version of "Poker Face." And it's kind of funny to hear people in the crowd scream, "I knew it! I knew it!" when Gaga jokingly asks "who the fuck is on my stage?" as Cudi's drawl is heard over the speakers.

Ableton Live by 11 year old
Read more . . . →Having some problems hooking up your Ableton Live rig together? Take a lesson from this 11 year old who picked up his brothers Ableton rig and taught himself to do this in 30 minutes: This video just speaks to the easy concept within Ableton. It is not necessary to be a computer scientist to operate this software (although if you are . . Max for Live offers some wicked coding opportunities!).

Sebastien Leger - The People (Pryda Friends)
Read more . . . →Here is a fairly new track from Leger. It's an interesting mixture between the alternative metal version from the 90's and a solid pumping house track. My favourite part is how it manages to retain the feel of the original while still bringing something new in the way of production technique. "The Beautiful People" is a song from Marilyn Manson's second full length album, Antichrist Superstar, released as a single in September, 1996. An alternative metal hit written by Marilyn Manson and Twiggy Ramirez, and produced by Trent Reznor, Dave Ogilvie and Manson, its lyrics discuss two major themes: what...

Sebastien Leger playing a new track in the studio
Read more . . . →Very exciting to see the techniques and tools that this techno/house master is using. "I was jamming today with one of the elements of the live show i'm working on at the moment - This is a very smooth and groovy part of the live, track is called "Labyrinthe".
