9/11, 10 years ago, and now!

Where to begin?
I guess first and foremost, Science Vs Nature would like to honor the victims of 9/11, and we hope we can stop the violence that caused it, as well as the violence that came from it. Humans are capable of much greater things than hate; compassion and understanding should preside over all. Our prayers and thoughts are with the world so we may take a step forward, not three steps back.

Its hard to believe 10 years ago, Science and Nature were just starting to work together.

And on that note . . . while Nature was away re-centering himself in the greatest city of the world: Black Rock City, Science was hard at work on a new track that will blow minds! He found a rapper (undisclosed at this moment) that astonished us at his adlib ability and his tonal quality. His first take was the keeper!

Also, we have finished up the Science Remix of "Imagine", only to be heard by a few until the Nature version receives the same treatment.

We are looking forward to returning to our live presence which was cut away for several months due to an unforeseen collision with a 4 wheeled yellow dragon not watching his traffic lights. With the healing almost done, its time to get back in the saddle!

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!

http://soundcloud.com/expedition-recordings/science-vs-nature-live-summer-2010

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 . . .

SVN Podcast #16 "Dreamstate"

Just before the 4th, here's a little gift for everyone:

Thanks to our speedy little system, we can finally start cranking the tunes to ya!

In this podcast, we have two remixes of Dreamstate.

www.svn.podomatic.com

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!

If you are a DJ, and want to play an "unwatermarked" version, shoot us an email.

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 . . .

eyes to the sky!

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 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 . . . .

Podcast #14 up . . . Imagine!

So we're cranking away as usual. 

We've been driving beats and mixing stuff beyond our imagination thanks to the workflow the Euphonix MC Control and MC Mix have provided. Just today we received our first live keyboard/synth from Novation. Super excited to wire it into the rig and see what magic happens this weekend. Speaking of which, we'll be posting another song to our website. Stay tuned . . . as it'll be another monster for Kult records.

We've also started working with Alex Pearce (cielo, webster hall) on a track that has changed our vision of writing (maybe it's us getting ready for the live show, or maybe it's his inspiration). Either way, its not like anything we've done. Imagine tribal, deep, melodic trance. 

IMAGINE! 

Which also happens to be the name of our song on the latest podcast. 

Take a listen on itunes or www.svn.podomatic.com

Another Home Run!

So just a quick note, since we're desperately trying to stay on top of this blog thingy . . .
Our remix of "Thinking of You" by Made By Monkeys is looking to be a HUGE club monster. Kult Records should be happy next Monday when we submit it.

On other "tech" notes, we sold our third Yamaha 01V mixer, so the Euphonic MC Control will shortly be in our studio (TOUCH SCREEN MIXER!). super dope.

Already starting to make plans for Winter Music Conference 09.
Looking at getting a condo or a house instead of a hotel room.
So if anyone out there as any suggestions . . .

again and always . . .
keep the dream alive!
