re:produce 006: Stewart Walker – Out Now, Exclusively on RV!

Techno Samples from Stewart WalkerWe just released another high-quality sample pack, re:produce 006: Stewart Walker. This one is available exclusively on RV, and it features over 120 MB of sounds, including lead synth lines, bass sounds, percussive rhythms, and three exclusive Ableton Live 8 groove arrangements. All of these elements reflect Stewart’s characteristic style and attention to production detail. I should also mention that we’re offering all of these production tools to you for the bargain price of $10!
 
Based in Berlin, Stewart is a restless innovator. He started his career on labels like Force Inc. and Tresor and eventually ended up a member of Richie Hawtin’s vaunted M_nus roster. Today, Stewart runs his own imprint, Persona Records.
 
Over the years Stewart has had a considerable impact on the development of current club sounds. He consistently chooses the road less traveled, working as a live producer in the world of DJs and injecting emotion into every performance.
 
Stewart’s sound is as unique as it is impressive, and now he’s made it available for you. Enjoy!

RV Exclusive Prerelease and Chart from Tony Craig!

Tony CraigAs you know, we’ve been working tirelessly to simultaneously improve our new site and to make sure we’re back up to speed on everything we had to offer on our 1.0 site. One of the things that has been missing since RV 2.0 made it out into the water… exclusives. Thanks to Dublin Xpress Recordings, we’re putting the wheels back on the exclusive cart. On the 23rd of November, we will be the only outlet for Tony Craig’s Dog Head release. I’ve been listening to it over the past few weeks, and I think you’ll be as pleased with these tracks as I have been. This is not one of those releases that has a decent original and a host of throwaway filler remixes. Mr. Craig’s original is spot on techno. The solid sparse beats lay down the foundation, and are complimented by several well-placed builds and transitions. My favorite remix is the Cricky Lyttle cut, which has major crowd-pummeling potential.

Tony was kind enough to send us a chart of his top 10 tracks of the moment. This should give you a good idea of where he’s coming from. (I know, a preposition)
