Dance Music for Heroes
Today is part two of my mentoring session with Producer Dojo Sensei Luke Rain, also known as Trap Jesus. If you missed part one make sure you go back and listen to episode 35 because we covered a lot of good stuff on his mixing process and it will help you to understand where this session picks up. This week we talk about his thoughts on automation, the question he always asks of his sounds, and why mixing is like science.
In this episode I had the pleasure of interviewing Richard Wang, aka 6th Street Music, a Minnesota-grown Los Angeles-based music producer and performer. In 2018, he joined the Producer Dojo and since then has had multiple original tracks featured on monthly mixtapes and even had three songs featured on NBC’s World of Dance Mixtape. His first EP, “Neon District” hit #3 Overall on Beatport, with singles hitting #1 in various genres including Trap, Dubstep, and Electronica. He recently released a new single, “Eagles,” with his girlfriend Liz Bezler who provided the vocals.
In this episode I share how to prepare tracks to DJ in Ableton Live, including how I name files, warp tracks, and organize my library.
