During these months of traveling in Asia I have discovered that there is a big music scene here growing day by day. I have been living in Thailand for 4 months now and I also spent some weeks in Myanmar. Thai and Burmese traditional music have similarities and are related to many other musical traditions in the region including Chinese music but in this post I want to focus on contemporary music. I will cover traditional music in future posts. […]

Soundsnap is a platform where you can find original loops and sound effects created by its users and buy them legally. The website has something like 200,000 sounds and loops at your disposal. That’s pretty big! Finding the right loops for my new song was easy. I just had to type in my search terms, and […]
From March 24-29, 2015, I went for the first time to the Winter Music Conference, a week full of panels, concerts, pool parties and DJ sets all around Miami Beach. It was a dream come true. I was very excited about the whole thing, hoping to meet a lot of people and make new connections. It was a fabulous experience I will always remember. The Deauville Beach resort is the perfect location for the conference. It’s an ultra-stylish hotel with a very large pool and […]

Once there I met some guys in a club and they mentioned me about this two “friends of him”. I googled them […]
