The most important tool in your arsenal.

Do your Kicks Punch?

Dr Rick Snoman Phd

The kick drum is the most important element in an electronic dance track. Get it right and you can fill the dance floor but get it wrong and you’ll empty it. In this session, we look at the different methods used to synthesize kick drums alongside the various ways to process it to punch through the track and work on the dance floor.

Funk Cartel

Presenters

The ‘Funk Cartel’ is a duo consisting
of brothers ‘Blame Rory’ and ‘Kimono Cam’
known for their rave ready flavours, bringing life and soul to the underground sound.
Closer than their relationship as brothers is their relationship with the dancefloor. Way beyond their years in production skills attributed to a close upbringing surrounded by good house music.
The brothers believe that House has an ability to bring people together like no other and that their purpose is to share this message. They have a clear understanding of what works for the crowds and this perfectly translates into their music and style. Their unique weave of deep rolling basslines, intricate keys, and clever energy fuelled percussion leaves a lasting impression on all who hear it and is a true breath of fresh air for the scene. Their sets are frequently stacked with their own distinctive productions and edits.
A relentless work ethic in the studio helps forge their sound which cannot be genre labelled as their music pushes forward in many directions. The formation of their own label THUNDR has not only showcased their own music but brought fresh talent to the forefront of the scene.
