Mr. Groove

Just writing a little note.

D Minor . . . .

LOL

ok that was bad musician humor.

The real reason I write, Science is at the helm finishing up his remix of Mr. Groove, and i'm bored as he noodles! :-)

Mr. Groove has been in our repertoire for 5 years, and we've never released it.

"WHY?" you ask.

Well the reason is simple: Mr. Groove is an awesome track, but it is an extremely difficult one to produce. We have attempted only a few times, and nothing proved ideal. We decided to include Mr. Groove into our next series of releases, more as a challenge to ourselves if we could get it done under a deadline. Guess what . . . we're only a week delayed (which isn't bad after 5 years).

Next week . . . "Because of you!"

BTW, you can hear these songs from our free iPhone app, that has the LIVE versions of each song, as well as loads of other material. Take a peak.

OK, He's asking me questions. I need to focus more.

Have a good week,

and until next time . . .

eyes to the sky!

2011, here we come!

After 2 days of intense projections, marketing plans, and business planning (and a whole lot of coffee), Science Vs Nature has big steps coming for 2011.

Our iphone app has been growing in subscribers by leaps and bounds. It has become our electronic press kit, a direct to link to fans around the world, and a super-fun toy to show people. After a meeting with Nov8trix (the makers of the the app), big things are on the way. VERY SOON, we will be using the app to link to our blogs, to our youtube account, and to a consolidated sales arena. Not only does this help with what we have already released, but allows us to plan for the next 5 releases slated for the next 5 months.

Yes, you read that right! 5 new releases slated in the upcoming months. If you are interested in doing any remixes of our upcoming singles, let us know. We're all ears.

New full length album in the works? Is that a whisper in the ear?

In stride with the releases, we've been making plans for proper videos to go along with the singles. If you, or any of your friends, are interested in this endeavor, we are eagerly, and aggressively, looking for videographers, VJ's, and video producers.

Gigs are already lined up in NYC for 2011. Expect a much anticipated west coast tour (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco). If you or anyone you know is interested in booking us at an event slated late spring, let us know ASAP as dates are being locked down in the next few weeks.

A lot of other things and future plans were discussed over these two days, but that's for us to know and you to find out. Keep in touch (we highly recommend downloading our free iPhone app), and don't forget, we are looking for video people, as well as remixers for our upcoming releases.

Until next time . . .

-nature (science is in the room, but i'm the one typing!)

Thanks, and looking forward to next month!

If you've been following the growth of Science Vs Nature these past few years,

you should have noticed that in the past 6 months,

an exponential growth has happened.

We have multiple releases on itunes, and recently have started our live shows again.

You can download our latest show at Downhouse at Ave X in Brooklyn in the next few days

at: http://www.svn.podomatic.com, or just look for our free podcast on itunes,

and our most recent podcast includes our latest live demo.

We are presently reviewing our collection and revamping for live shows in the future.

A video is being compiled from all our recent shows, so look for that soon as well.

Just wanted to touch base with everyone and let you know that you are not forgotten.

We will be producing some new songs in the very near future, and really look forward to your response to those.

Until then, we would love to see you out. Don't hesitate to come up to the booth, say hi, and make requests for one our songs. We do this not just for our love of music, but for yours too!

Until we cross paths,

eyes to the sky!

give our live demo a listen

We are rather proud of our latest efforts in the studio, so we thought we would share a rehearsal with you. Take a listen, comment on it, tell us what you hate, love or find interesting!

AND if you want to hear us live, tell your local promoter or agent!

We want to perform FOR YOU!

oh and . . .

FYI - - two of the 4 tracks are unreleased. The first person to tell us what the RELEASED songs are will get free copies of all four!

as always . . .

Rehearsals have BEGUN!!!

notes of interest

Greetings and Happy New Decade from the SVN Camp!

Just wanted to touch base with everyone and let you know that we're not sittin on our bumms recovering from hangovers:

1) Science Vs Nature has signed with Right Time Management. More info TK on them, but for now, know they are putting tons of fire on our rears to keep a devil dancing. Much needed, as we're already in talks with a booking manager and a potential tour
2) started a video blog. We're not sure how we're going to implement them yet, but expect a video record of all this very soon.
3) Expect a FREE EP shortly. It will include 5 tracks that we feel anyone and everyone into electronic music will enjoy. Two of which are from the most recent series of releases: "Room for Thought", and "Dreamstate". (and, if you ever listened to our first album- "Dance Like you F*ck" is getting a rework as well)
4) New toys: now that we're getting into the DJ world, Science and myself have each received a MIDI controller for Ableton Live. Not that we needed MORE gear, but its inspiring to get the ball rolling.
5) New Gear = New wiring. Spent an entire day last weekend working with lightpipe, and directly routing signal from programs into soundcards (instead of digitally doing so). Loads of fun (hear my sarcasm?), but necessary to keep your feet moving in the future.
6) In final stages of a new single with local NYC superstar Nikki McNally. Its quite unique in the fact that its a straight up NYC House record, with Progressive and Tech house elements. A very good partnership if i do say so myself. We've already talked about doing more.
7) still looking for a NYC intern to help with our social networks (online and analog). In return, we can promise studio time/lessons and quite a few drinks with us out on the town.

and thats the past two weeks.

In this podcast, we have two remixes of Dreamstate.

Also, we want to let everyone know,

Expedition Recordings will be releasing "Room for Thought" in a few weeks for digital downloading across the globe. Look for the press releases soon!

All we ask is you get reactions and send them our way.

We'll promote you on our press release in return!

We're taking a week off, so expect another podcast in two weeks!

until then . . .

SVN Podcast #15 "Room For Thought"

Our new workflow is allowing us to produce two tracks a week, remixing our live rehearsals from the week. It provides a medium for DJs to play with our music, pushes us to produce for listeners at home, and enhances the "LIVE EXPERIENCE" by showcasing the Nature and Science sides of SVN.
This podcast includes two versions of a song we play live, entitled "Room for Thought".
Let us know what you think, as this stuff is written specifically FOR YOU!

SVN's first remix release on Kult Records

Hey all.

Sorry for the delay in letting everyone know about this.

We've been slammed getting the live show up and running. Between RAM issues, CPU chokes, and the redesigning of recording templates, i think we might be nearly 80% there. :-)

We are attempting to record every sound we play for you, LIVE, so that our live performance can be recorded and distributed almost instantaneously. In the studio, it will allow us to rehearse, record and release at an unstoppable speed. If you understand how much power that requires, you understand our issues. But we're almost there!

The music has been ridiculously good, though. We are planning on releasing 4 tracks a month WITH numerous remixes if this works. Let us know if you are interested in being a part of this monumental task!

and . . . without further adieu . . . released on 4/20 . . . written by Sebastien Gazeille . . .

Science Vs Nature's first remix release on Kult records can be found exclusively on Beatport.com

https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/track/catalog/?performerId=104654&contextType=artists&contextEntityId=104654&orderBy=trackPublishDate%20DESC%2C%20releaseId%20DESC&labelId=2247

Live set posted on Website

So after conference, we realized that more than just the industry would enjoy our live set demo.

Its not available to download, but if you want it, just let us know and we'll send you an MP3.

The stream can be found on our site: 

www.sciencevsnature.com

Fun little fact, this was our first time playing together in over 6 months as we've been extremely busy doing remix work and learning the new toys. This was take 3, and once we work out some kinks, you can only imagine how good this is going to be, as it already seems pretty F-N amazing.

KEEP IN MIND, this is NOT a DJ set. We are working/manipulating every sound LIVE using pre-sequenced patterns in Logic on two sets of Euphonix mixers and controllers. 

Enjoy!

WMC 09 Day 6

Packed, and ready to wait 8 hours to get home . . .

we wandered the streets only to find one of my dearest friends on the beach from the night before. She looked like something out of a movie, disheveled, heels in hand (well, actually in a garbage bag with other belongings) still smiling, and ready for a glass of Veuve at her hotel.

I won't drop names, as she'll kill me for posting this with her name it, but i hope she takes the job in Amsterdam. It'll be the best thing she's done in years for herself.

Saw BT in the Lobby, and of course did the schmooze. Had too. It was BT.

Plane left 1 1/2 hours behind schedule, we arrived home in NYC 2 1/2 hours late.

The airline wasn't the best, and our hotel wasn't 5 stars, but after these past 5 days, we felt like we were riding the highest cloud on the planet and living the dream to its fullest. 

THANK YOU MIAMI, and WMC09. 

Eyes to the sky, and always a foot forward . . .

WMC 09 day 3

After last night, i can't believe we're still standing. Up until 5 prepping for the next day of demos, handshaking, and whatnot. 

24hrs later, doing the same thing, but with more stories . . .

Met LULA (last night a DJ saved my life), whom we did a remix of a new release from Kult records called "Overdose". We were told by her producer that our track was their favorite and could possibly be the breakthrough track of the album. Sweet. Met tons of others, but at this point, we're so exhausted that the business cards are our only recollections. 

Spent a lot of time with the SAE sessions. Learned tons of production tips and remixing ideas from people with 20+ years in the industry. These people cared to help, and it was noticed by everyone in the room. Can't wait to get back into the studio and try some of the new tricks we've learned.

and lastly . . . big props to Redbull for pulling us through the day. Without it, i'm not sure if we could have survived. 

:-P

until tomorrow . . .

WMC 09 Day 2

Our second day in South Beach started bright and early with a demo listen with Derek Scott Graves and Howard Kessler, among others. We asked them to listen to "Because of You", a track that we've been planning to pitch as a "radio" song. Great advice was received, albeit one of the panelists only said "I love the track. All you need to do is tighten it up." 

WHAT????? 

For all non-music writers, that translates basically into "I think you need more in your recipe, but i'm not sure what." Thanks for the help there, jeeves.

Quick break, and on to the marketing panel, which is always THE ONE SESSION that everyone should attend. Our packaging was well received (ie marketed well), and in high demand after the session. In all of it, though, the highlight was DJ RAP calling Science "Sweety". 

 love it.

Poolside, bumped into an old friend from college daze, DJ SHORTEE. Great to see her as always, and even better catching up with all that she's done for the year. Don't get to see her enough.

A few drinks to the wind later, we pass out, wake up at 1:30am, head to the Global Underground party to hear Darren Emmerson.

Lainie Capicotto, "He just got off the decks. His set is over."

"WHAT?????  He was the reason we decided to show late so we could hear his new stuff."

"That's too bad.  Wanna meet him?"  

"um, yeah!!!"

A few beats to the wind, and he's doing the robot dance in response to our cd cover, and seemed engaged. An introduction from Lainie didn't hurt, either. 

All in all a good day.

Our music got heard and placed in a lot of important hands, today. Now the product has to speak for itself, which, we believe, is better than we could ever promote it.

Until next update . . . .

WMC 09 Day 1

Arriving 1/2 hr early, we have finally settled in to our first day at the conference.

Unbeknownst to me, Science has gotten us comps for a Ministry of Sound Party and a Global Underground party all on the same night as a Kult party (which we HAVE to represent). It'll be cool to meet the people we've remixed for Kult.

BUT before ANY of the fun begins, we have to prep CDs for giveaways.

Let us know if you are in the neighborhood, so you can get a FREE cd, that also includes a video we've been working on with Chris Shell, a video producer from Disco Down Productions, originally from Las Vegas, most recently from San Fran, and now based in NYC!!!!

Expect daily updates while we're here.

Let the games begin!!!!!
