J. Saxton




Everyone needs to keep their eyes and ears ready for what J. Saxton is bringing to the Dubstep scene. J. Saxton, also known as Jordan Jay Saxton, from Leeds, (UK) is beginning to make his name known throughout the music scene. Having been graciously granted an interview with Jordan, I found out a little more about what makes Jordan, J. Saxton. J. Saxton says he is mostly inspired by his parents listening to a lot of reggae and different bands: Metronomy, Jitset, Claude VonStoke, and the Black Ghost. He started off first making chiptune and stumbled his way into making dubstep. He makes his music using Ableton Live 8, Reason 4, Akai MPD 24, Novation Xiosynth, and MicroKorg. Looking up to big DJs and Producers, such as, Pirate Sound System, Ojay, and Deadmau5, J. Saxton says he sees them as inspiration and not necessarily competition. “When I first started out I didn’t really feel that I was gonna get anywhere with it so I was just making beats” says J. Saxton. His goal making music is just to make sick beats and then watching them go off. When J. Saxton is not making music, Jordan is in his sixth form at Lawnswood and being like “everyone else.” He enjoys playing Modern Warfare 2 (if anyone wants to play against him his gamertag is foobo), watching South Park, and eating fried chicken. J. Saxton is not just dubstep though, he has plans on finishing a progressive house track with Don’t Panic Dear. Also, he has a new release this early January so everyone look out for that and J. Saxton.

Stressin'




Last minute assignments, final exams, and tons of late hours stuffed up in a cubby in the library studying. This all means exam week is quickly approaching, and boy am I stressed. Speaking of stress, the French electronic music duo, Justice, released their music video “Stress” in May 2008. Justice is signed on with Ed Banger Records, along with Busy P, DJ Mehdi, and Sebastian. This famous duo consist of Gaspard Auge and Xavier de Rosnay; their rapport on stage is epic and it shows in their music and the intensity of the crowd when they play. Justice’s video “Stress” caused a lot of controversy and was boycotted by some tv stations because people felt it had a very racy message. This racy message was in enemy lines and subjected to be scrutinized, talked about, and be made into a parody. Directed by Thomas Vandenberghe and produced by Charles Villeneuve, Justesse – No Stress, a parody of the original Stress by Justice, was leaked a few months later. This is probably one of the best parody videos I have ever seen but I will let you be the judge of that.

HARD FESTS '09




Fuck Trick or Treating, dressing up will suffice, and as for the candy...well a different type of candy. Spending Halloween with some of the greatest party DJs spinning right now was my choice for a good weekend vacation.
