Shapeless Lab - Ux

The REDSCALE Vinyls (four) have arrived a while back - gorgeous red and black one is redscale 001 a double dub techno masterpiece. The New ORB Album Vinyls should be on their way soon! The Ilian Tape Vinyl is here too. Latest (echospace) Detroit Vinyls from CV313 have arrived, blue vinyl is SAILINGSTARS and is absolutely sublime. The cherry vinyl is in my repost section if you want to check it out, it's CV313 plays Mike Huckaby. 

Music Label run by a long-time DJ LEM, living on the West Coast diving deep into Music Production, especially the Live Performance kind. The Label is working on its First Single/EP/Album.

It's been a Minute, New Recordings coming! STUDIO 3.0 Photos Coming shortly. New VOLCA (#6) -- Volca Bass! New Synth (with issues) on sale from Amazon - [UNO SYNTH X PRO]... 128 presets room for 256. 

[PUSH 2] has been added to the proof-of-concept rig in my living room. This is running on Ableton Live 12, as they give you a second license activation with the Suite. [Donner Essential B1] is my 3rd 303 Unit - this one I bought because of a real good phat 303 sound and 128 pattern capacity plus it comes with a very decent delay.  [Arturia Keystep PRO] has arrived in the e-lemental.Music Studio... it was the last new unit in Vancouver and came at a hefty price for a MIDI Controller but I recon with the amount of Gear accumulated here, especially the semi-modulars, the Keystep Pro will be very useful tool indeed. Pictured here with the Beatstep Pro, one Sync Cable between them offers me control of 5 Melodic Sequencers and 2 Drums, or 6 Melodic and 1 Drum. This setup got me on fire and the Roland TR-8S is the perfect drum machine companion to these. 

[Arturia MiniBrute 2S] and [DrumBrute Impact] is my favorite setup for harsher sonic territories such as Industrial and Hard Techno, but far from limited to that. Please check out  my Track named "MURKY MEMORIES" to hear these two in action. Linked with a Sync cable they act as two parts of One Unit and sonically complimentary to one another. The Patch Bay on the 2S is very useful and the sequencer is very powerful and the reason I bought this one instead of the keyboard version.

[Ambient Zero] and [Korg Wavestate MK2] linked with a MIDI cable is my latest favorite setup for AMBIENT/DRONE Music. This will likely be paired up with other Units and Ableton Live's Drone Lab Instrument, which comes in at 8.6GB.

[Behringer Triple Rack] is finally done, Neutron was my first semi-modular analogue synth, followed by the Proton when it came out, and the MS-20 clone K2 came a few weeks ago from Poland to complete the rack. That means STUDIO v3.0 Photo shoot is coming! Will be done once the Live Rig (below) and the Rack are hooked up.

NXT RECORDING -- LIVE with no playlist so completely spontaneous ALL selected from my Vinyl/Vinyl Sourced Collection of Quality Tracks mixed with ROLAND TR-8S Drum Machine Beast with its 128 excellent drum kits and 128 Patterns. This is to celebrate the TIGHT SYNC between the TR-8S and Traktor using MIDI Clock and moving one step closer towards completely LIVE UNSCRIPTED Mixes with the Drum Machine Wonder.... I will call these types of mixes FRESH and with adding live drum patterns it becomes a LIVE PA MIX. NXT Dated Lem Sessions at 120BPM is right between the couch and the dancefloor. a mix of styles that sound good at that tempo.

2025 will mark the first Track Releases (not just DJ mixes) on e-lemental.Music label. Look for a First Single, then First EP leading to First Album. I am open to other Artists joining the label at some point, but not until those three things are realized.

The numbered DJ Mixes, my ultra-prepped, concept-based Mixes that I have been doing since Traktor 1.0 came out in the early 2000s. The lined-up mixes for this year are (numbers subject to change):
#50 - Platipus Records -- A Progressive Dream
#51-53 - Berlin's Triple Threat -- Basic Channel / Chain Reaction / Rhythm & Sound
#54 - Twisted FaeryTales IV - Title to be determined - downtempo/ambient
#55 - Taken, Too - based on Jeff Mills' Something in the Sky UFO Label releases - a proper sequel to a live Mix 'Taken' that is posted here
#56 - Studio 1 Releases contrasted with modern Minimalism - TRIPLE DECK MIX
