I came across Kevin Kelsey (a.k.a. kmotiv) when I was reading Silence Is A Rhythm Too one day. I went to his site to check out some of the stuff he had done and was blown away. I’m thinking to myself, ‘some guy sitting in his apartment in Arkansas is doing this??’ Nothing against Arkansas. I grew up in a nearby midwestern state and loved it. You just don’t think of Arkansas as being a hot bed for producers/remixers. At heart, Kevin is a songwriter, which is probably the reason his music is so full of emotion. It’s something I find this lacking in a lot of electronic music made by people with way more name recognition.
Shortly after I signed up to be on the mailing list, Kevin announced that he was in the process of putting together a proper album. The album is called “The Abstraction Agenda,” and will be released on October 19. It will be available from the kmotiv site as well as CD Baby. You will be able to pre-order the album sometime later this month exclusively on his site, which you should do for the limited-edition bonus remix CD. Kevin had some time to sit down and have a little iChat with me about everything that’s going on.

I have to think there are some smart, technically inclined people that visit the site every once in a while. I would appreciate any help or feedback you can give me in setting up a PC that will co-exist with my current Mac setup. I just want to get a PC box and some sort of switchbox that allows me to utilize my Cinema Display, mouse and keyboard. There’s gotta be some way to just switch back and forth, right? And please, spare me the platform-flaming comments.

I’m a little behind on my mix this month. Earlier in the month I did a mix called “Garden State: Would’ve Should’ve.” The actual soundtrack for the film is great, especially if you haven’t been exposed to some of the artists, but I thought there were things missing. Some of the songs are by artists on the soundtrack, but most of these songs are just great songs that would have fit nicely somewhere. I’ll leave that part up to you. I’ve made a few of the songs available, but you’ll have to buy the others. Don’t steal. It’s not nice.

I have 6 more Gmail invites up for grabs just be one of the first 6 people to leave a comment (saying you want one) and I’ll get one to you. Remember, just because it may say there are 6 comments, doesn’t mean they’re all taken.
