KLAWS (Pangea/ Pure Perception, Greenville, SC)

Klaws first got exposed to the sounds of electronic music in his native country Romania. Since then, his passion for driving, cutting-edge music only became stronger. He lived in France for several years, where he came in contact with a thriving music scene.
He later moved to South Carolina and now has played parties throughout the SouthEast US, France, Romania, and beyond as well as co-organized numerous Pangea Productions events and one of area’s fastest growing and most diverse electronic music festivals, “Welcome to Pangea” now in its’ fourth year.
You can tune in and listen to Klaws every second Friday of the month on the highly rated electronic net-radio www.di.fm on the minimal channel from 12-2pm EST. The show, “Technological”, is hosted by Klaws and DRaigosa and brings you the best in today’s techno and minimal.
Together with the Pangea crew Klaws is constantly pushing the boundaries of electronic music to create driving, hypnotic, atmospheric dance music. Styles range from minimal/tech to dub/tech to electro. Influences come anywhere from funk to jazz, Detroit melodic techno to harder European minimal sounds, always keeping it deep, spacey, and with a driving groove. ( www.soundcloud.com/klaws )

IXNEE (Asheville, NC)

Ixnée has been rocking dancefloors across the country since 2007- from the legendary Freakeasy and Resonate parties in Chicago, to some of San Francisco’s top underground venues, and countless outdoor festies including the craziest party of them all: Burning Man.

She lives on the edge of the norm to keep her audience on their toes, literally. Driven by the beat, the breaks, and the bass, she isn’t content to stick with the status quo. Ixnée’s goal in life is to make people happy, and it shows the creative madness of her dj sets.

She never forgets that we are all in this adventure together, and that we come together through music and dance. Whether she is melting minds with a full-on breaks set, enticing the curious with intriguing chill sounds, or getting your ass to the floor as she drops the bass, Ixnée will never let you down.

Resampling opens up a lot of creative potential when producing music in Ableton. I find it especially handy when I want to add a bit of randomness to a composition, because you can record the random variations in and edit them down into what actually sounds good to your ear. Let’s say for example you had a BeatRepeat effect with variation turned up. Normally, each time the loop plays new patterns are generated, although if you resample it (ie. record the variants on their own audio track) then playback will be the same each time, and you can pick out parts you like and move them around in the arrangement freely. This is also useful when you want to capture random variables created using follow actions.

How to Resample a Track in Ableton

Step 1:  Create a new audio track (cmd+t mac or ctrl+t windows)

Step 2:  Make sure your Ins/Outs are enabled

Step 3:  Use the audio from selector on the new audio track to choose which track to resample/record. (note:  Selecting resample will record all tracks and returns which are playing at once.)

Step 4:  Record arm/enable the track by pressing the record button at the bottom of the track. (figure 3)

Step 5:  Press the play button on the transport to record audio into the arrangement view.

Once you’ve recorded the audio you can switch to the arrangement view by pressing Tab, and edit/process it for interesting results. For example you can right click on the audio clip, and choose “Slice to New Midi Track.” (this will chop the audio into shorter clips and lay them out in a drum rack automatically), or you can apply other audio specific processing such as reverse or time warping. The possibilities are truly limitless!
