Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard

Today, im reviewing the latest Waldorf Blofeld Keyboard that was shown at Winter NAMM 2009 for Future Music Magazine, looks, feels and sounds great so far. What with the credit crunch its great to see music businesses still thriving and developing new kit.I suppose musos will always need keyboards! I for one will never have enough! Just like Blofeld the James Bond Villian!

mooowowowowowoawawawawawawahahahahahahahahahaha

Roland V Piano

Rolands fantastic new modeled piano...NO samples at all! Sounds incredible...the best acoustic piano emulation ive ever come across.

JD73 2009

Happy 2009 to you all and thankyou for coming by, reading this and showing your support for all things JD73! 

Im really looking forward to 2009, especially as the new album 'SuperSexy' will be hitting the airwaves. The album has 10 tracks, all songs and all mixed and produced by myself in my 'Analogue Cupboard' Studio. I feel this album to be the strongest work ive produced yet, bearing in mind i made about 3 albums before Zeros and Ones was released, and that album contains tunes that were up to 5 years old on, if you didnt already know! 

Right now im mixing down the tracks in my studio and im gonna present a little mixtape soon of the tracks for you all to hear. Think Herbie Hancock meets Prince meets Parliament meets Michael Jackson meets meets new shit,- unique but ultimately very familiar if i do say so myself! 

Currently im thinking about how to release this album..ie whether to go with a label or release myself. All will be revealed but im excited about it. 

Rest assured the reach of this new album is going to be altogether different to Zeros and Ones and so i need to do it right!

So check back soon..

Also see earlier blogs but there will be lots of JD73 remixes dropping soon too 

All the best

For 2009

A Big Thank You- JD73 London Jazz Festival Gig

Good weekend to y'all!

Just writing this to say a massive thanks to everyone that turned up for the JD73 gig at Royal Festival Hall last night. The atmosphere was electric throughout and the vibe from the audience was inspiring and really spurned us on to play a great show. It really means a lot to feel the love in such a big way from a crowd and the gig will be etched in our memories for years to come as one of those magical moments that only happen once in a while. Still buzzing from it all! So THANK YOU ALL for your support!

Ill keep everyone posted on future shows here and abroad. If you want to pick up a copy of the album please follow these links.

Big thanks to Dennis who'd waited all day to see us play and all those that came up at the end as well for a chat.
