Exclusive Audio Interview with Alex B from The Pnuma Trio


.

Resonant Vibes is very excited to give our readers an exclusive audio interview with Alex B, bass player and producer, for the band The Pnuma Trio. (Click the play button below to have a listen)

I first mentioned The Pnuma Trio to the Resonant Vibes community back in my original Livetronica blog post. The band formed in Memphis Tennessee around 2004 and moved to Boulder Colorado where they now are proud to call STS9’s super hot indie label, 1320 Records, home. The trio is comprised of Alex Botwin on Bass, Ben Hazelgrove on Keys, and Lane Shaw on Drums. They consider themselves to be an electronic band who uses live instrumentation to create forward thinking compositions with a high energy electro feel! Download a free live show of the band performing at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado by going to The Pnuma Trio’s profile page in the Resonant Vibes Network .

Alex B is also a superb DJ, who is heavily involved with the Electronic Music Scene when he is not on the road with The Pnuma Trio. He has made quite a reputation on the live scene for his deep glitch-informed hip-hop sound and recently released a mix called “Brian Food” for Flying Lotus on the Brainfeeder record label which can be downloaded for free right HERE. Also check out several other mixes & tracks by going to Alex B’s profile page in the Resonant Vibes Network.

The Pnuma Trio is a powerful leader in the live electronic movement. They are doing everything they can to bring Electronic Music to the masses by merging the rock/jam culture with that of the DJ club scene. Check out both The Pnuma Trio and Alex B on tour right now!

RV Network Winners – Congrats Morgan May and DJ Afterlight!

One of the most exciting features of the RV 2.0 website is our recurring network competition. In just over a month, hundreds of tracks and mixes have been uploaded to our network, and the RV community has been reviewing and rating them. Our policy is to give rewards out every few weeks to the DJ and producer who upload the most popular mix and track. The first decision date was May 1st (last Friday), and we’re ready now to declare the first network competition winners…
.
Our winning DJ is Morgan May for his mix @ Twisted Modelf*cker 06 April 2009, which has racked up nearly 70 thumbs up ratings. The mix has a lot of energy, and it weaves its way through a sequence of trance and progressive tracks, maintaining a peak hour dance floor feel. I’ll be writing more about Morgan and his mix over the next few days.
.
Now, turning to our network tracks, I want to announce that DJ Afterlight is our winning producer for his track titled, “Get in to It.” This track has gotten 24 thumbs up ratings, and it has a broken beat with hints of hardcore. It’s also stirred up a string of positive comments. You’ll definitely be seeing and hearing more about “Get in to It” in the near future.
.
Now that we’ve announced them as winners, I want to say “CONGRATULATIONS” to Morgan May and DJ Afterlight on behalf of the RV team!

In addition to congratulating our first network competition winners here, I want to write a bit about the significance of the competition in our eyes… (more…)


Discogs.com – Useful Industry Website

 

A few years ago, I was having a chat with Paul Dailey and telling him about some of the Resonant Vibes work I was doing. He suggested that I check out the site Discogs.com. I did, and I’ve been using it ever since. While Discogs has other features and functionalities, I use it primarily to search for electronic music labels and artists. The name of the site would suggest that it’s most useful as a tool for viewing the discographies of labels and artists. I have not found this to be the case because it seems to take a while for new releases to make it into the discographies.

I’m sure most industry folks already know about Discogs.com, but it’s a good resource so I figured I’d share it in a quick post.
