Upcoming Events
Summer is fast approaching and there are lots of new events popping up as my schedule really starts to ramp up. You can keep up to date with my latest events on Facebook here:
DJ Sonny D Events. Make sure you catch Fridays at
Rouge Premiere Lounge in Moncton for Trust The DJ where I play all sorts of new promos, the latest remixes, and whatever I am feeling at the moment. Check out my monthly video dance party at
Oxygen Nightclub.

Ableton Live 8/Soundcloud
If you're an Ableton Live 8 license holder, you can get a Soundcloud Pro account free for 5 months by clicking here:
Ableton/Soundcloud. The latest Ableton Live 8.3 update allows you to upload your tracks directly from the Export Audio/Video window by turning on the "Upload to Soundcloud" radio button. If you haven't tried Ableton you can download the trial version and run it free for 30 days. If you're a Serato user then you really have to try The Bridge which incorporates the Ableton Live interface right inside Serato. You can link Ableton to the track you are playing or even load your Ableton set onto one of the decks and beat-match it yourself. It makes mash-ups a breeze, add instruments, or add one of Ableton's many incredible effects.Ableton is an essential tool in my DJ kit, whether it's for effects processing within Serato, sending midi notes to control my lighting or video programs, or remixing audio or video. Do it.
Mix of the Week
DJ Myagi/Soleclaw has released his second artist album:
Ape and Essence. "Drawing its title from the novel of the same name by Aldous Huxley,
the album is a statement of reinvigoration and evolution, a return to
the roots of Myagi’s experience with music after 10 years of releases
and 6 years of worldwide gigging and traveling.
With one foot placed in rock and funk and the other in acid house and
dance music culture, it has already been described as his best work to
date, with its lead single “Chaos // Quokka” garnering a whopping 9.5/10
in the August issue of the UK’s esteemed DJ Mag.": source Myagi Soundcloud. Myagi gives us a preview of the tracks on the album through a mix on his Soundcloud account here:
Myagi on Soundcloud. You can check out the entire release on Beatport here:
Ape & Essence on Beatport.
Be sure to check out Myagi's newest project: Cooking with Myagi in which he displays his culinary skills through a series of Youtube videos, preparing all his favorite dishes. My personal fav is the Maple Pecan Crusted Chicken seen here:
Chicken Video Link.
