re:produce 005: AOE – Out Now, Exclusively on RV!

Techno and tech house samples from Absence of EssenceWe just released another killer sample pack, re:produce 005: AOE. This one is available exclusively on RV, and it offers 103 MB of infectious, delightfully warped techno and tech house sounds for just $10!
 
Absence of Essence (AOE) is the Atlanta-based production trio consisting of Darius Kohanim, Knix, and Dee Washington. These artists are collectively responsible for releases on labels like Lobotomy Records, Audio Therapy, Proton Music, AlterImage Recordings, Influx Audio, Hunya Munya, and Emote Music. AOE has worked alongside, and seen their tracks remixed by, the likes of Pig & Dan, Habersham, and a host of other top-tier producers.
 
The AOE members share a passion for the technical aspects of their craft and for the creation of forward-thinking electronic music. Their re:produce 005 sample pack is the cutting-edge product of three creatively warped minds. This collection is filled with intense, twisted sound effects, rhythmical noise and synth loops, mangled vox effects, and wicked drum patterns with dirty techno undertones. Most of the samples were recorded at 126 bpm, and they are all ready for use in Ableton Live. AOE designed these unique signature sounds using Logic, Cubase, Native Instruments, and several other audio production tools.
 
To get a taste for the innovative, mind-bending sounds in AOE’s re:produce 005 pack, just check out the preview by clicking the play button below ;)
 
Enjoy!

RV Mix Contest 001 – A 2 Horse Race!

Resonant Vibes Mix Contest 001 | Resonant Vibes

That’s right blog readers, as our inaugural mix contest enters it’s final weekend two mixes are standing ahead of the rest of the field! Each of the mixes are different in styles and each of the DJs seems to have done a great job promoting their mixes to help drive their ratings up.

Now, for you readers of the blog that might not know much about our network let me explain a little bit more… Our Electronic Music Network is a section of the site where you can upload your own mixes and tracks for free. You can find great live sets by the worlds biggest DJs alongside mixes from up-and-coming DJs who are looking for more exposure; which is really what the rv network is all about. All the content in the network is ratable and free to download.

We recently updated the network to improve everything from how you browse to it’s design and feel. We also developed a way of running contests to reward the people who upload the most popular mix or track in a given period. (We know that everyone has a competitive side in them somewhere!) What’s more we’ve partnered with MixMeister to give away a copy of their Fusion software every two weeks—worth a cool $330—and now two DJs have emerged that are battling it out for top spot!

As I write this Mike Briscoe’s mix (+18/-0) has Stephen Wiley’s mix (+21/-4) nudged out for first place. What’s really impressive is how Briscoe entered with guns-blazin’ by uploading only yesterday! We’ve given people the ability to share and promote their mixes on places like Facebook and Twitter so I guess it’s come down to Mike having a great social network of friends that have got behind him and rated up his mix really quickly.

So, now it’s in the hands of people like you to play a part in deciding which mix is worthy of winning this cycle. Why don’t you check out both mixes and rate them as you feel appropriate? (View the current standings HERE.)

If you’d like the chance to win a copy of MixMeister Fusion yourself, Mix Contest 002 starts on Monday morning at midnight (EST) which gives you the whole weekend to get a new mix recorded. And don’t forget check out the rv shop to grab some new tunes for your mix!
