Read more . . . →I started listening to Lusine when I heard the Two Dots Music Video shortly after hearing a remix on Pete Tong's show. I could not find the song anywhere for quite a while (Tong is somewhat legendary for his exclusive tracks) and decided to embark upon a remix of my own.

This year I had a two hour set planed in Ableton Live with a couple underground remixes I was working on. The first one is is my LTWB 2010 remix. This song is originally by Laidback Luke, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell and Steve Angello but I felt it needed something more. The was actually sub-ing (pun intended!) in a new bass line and mixing some drums as well as including a chord progression from...

Rick Rubin Biography
As someone with an active interest in music production this is a fascinating read because it really exposes the way he interacts with bands and what his process is. ...
