Besides yourself, if you were going to sit down and listen to another eJayers playlist of mixes, who would it be? and why? List up to three.
Wookie - I just love his style and he dips into all the genres
M8y - From my home Town for one and another who experiments into many genres
I cant decide between JD Messiah and Paul Macey - In fact, I would HAVE to listen to both
their playlists :) (Sorry, hehehe - Too hard to pick only 3)
If you could offer new ejayers any advice right now...what would it be?
EXPERIMENT!!!! - A Lot of new Ejayers probably do not know how powerful their
precious Ejay program is!! - Take sounds from everywhere - Your Hard Drive, games, your own keyboard, other music packages and stick them into Ejay and
have even more fun :) Its a powerful tool, take your time and learn to use it right.
The only other advice would be to download and listen to as many other
Ejayers tunes as you can coz it is great for new ideas. :).
If you could describe your particular style of music writing, what would it be?
Boy - Thats a tough one :) - I have been trying out a quite a few different genres as
probably anyone will tell you but, now i am settling down i intend to do mainly
Trance as that is my first love. So hopefully, from now you will be able to describe
my writing style as COMMERCIAL!!!
List your favourite 3 eJay websites that you visit the most? Any of your choice.
Ejay Clubber UK
PlanetEjay
PlanetEJay Satellite Site
If you had the option of doing a collaboration with any other eJayer right now...who would it be and why? Perhaps we can arrange this for you to be so.
hmm - I think probably M8y, We live close and have been talking about hitting a
studio in Glasgow anyway so maybe that will come off soon :)
Have you ventured onto MP3 yet, and if so...are you getting the recognition your deserve from the world? List your site here too.
The MP3 site is http://www.mp3.com/RedKola - Recognition? - erm no LOL!! - My first 2 months i
made nothing but, in my 3rd month, I have made a dollar or two every day of June
so far. I have also had recognition in respect to the fact that my album "A Taste Of
Kola", has been picked to feature in the Fifa Soccer series of games Add-on called
MRA (Multi Roster Assistant). every tune in the game will be a RedKola one :)
(I'll even have an ad-board at every virtual soccer stadium you play in which will say
RedKola.co.uk :)
If you have an MP3 website, what are your best mixes on there? We will link to these as part of the eJay Masters profile to show people what your capable of.
A Taste Of Kola
A Taste Of summer
Its a Dream (Up The volume Remix)
Finally, would you say you have had good recognition in the eJay world so far, do you think that you really haven't achieved your very best yet?
I KNOW I haven't achieved my best yet - Im still learning like everyone else. I am
going to expand with a new synth shortly and that should at least, allow me to be
able to achieve the sound I want. I do wish i could make more "Purely Ejay" mixes but, everytime i do, I sit back to
listen and ALWAYS think that it would sound good with this sound in or that sound
in from my keyboard so I guess Im destined to always have an MP3 mix of my tunes as opposed to a .Mix file due to the file size. I do however, plan on a making a
few "Purely Ejay" mixes soon :)
