Hank Shocklee & FaltyDL - Dubspot Live Stream Jan. 30 2012
I grew up on Public Enemy and have all their albums. I even blagged aka conned my way into photographing them during the Public Enemy/Anthrax tour back in the day when they came into Birmingham, AL. (Ask to see my photos of the show sometime!) What got me into them wasn’t the rough politically tinged delivery of the legendary Chuck D or the antics of Flavor Flav; it was the bombastic urgency of the beats that pulled me towards the group.
Hank Shocklee (Public Enemy, Bomb Squad, Def Jam) was the mastermind behind PE’s sounds. He took the sounds of hip hop in a totally new direction that was urgent and of the times. We (as in the internet collective) are lucky enough in this day and age to have him do a live streaming workshop with the soon to be legendary in their own right Dubspot.com Monday January 30th from 7 – 9 pm EST.
Hank Shocklee along with dubstep producer FaltyDL will be showcasing Propellerhead’s Reason 6 software during the workshop. Without giving too much away, please head on over to dubspot’s blog which gives you all the info you will need plus video interviews of both Mr. Shocklee and FaltyDL.
I’m tuning in, are you? Ken_UF

It’s an hour and forty eight minute class on producing “Popstep” or “Dubstep”. If you haven’t checked out Sonic Academy before, do yourself a favor and head on over to their site now. They have all types of tutorials on producing all styles of dance floor tunes. Tell them you heard about it from Urban Fabric!

Interactive IconTV Webcast with Mark Knight & D. Ramirez 16th of Feb 2011
Feb 14th
Chat LIVE wiht Mark & Dean Feb. 16th 2011
If you ever wanted a chance to speak to Mark Knight (Toolroom Records) or D. Ramirez (Slave Records) about their production process this is your lucky day. IconTV will host an interactive webcast with the guy’s on the 16th of Feb 2011 via a Ustream broadcast. I for one can’t wait to hear what they have to say about their production process or how Dean keeps such a killer beard. (OK maybe that’s just me thinking that?)
Even if you don’t produce House Music and are more inclined to rage out to Drum and Bass or Dubstep, you should still check this webcast out.
Till the webcast on the 16th feel free to check out the video below to their massive night they just recently held at Avalon in Cali. Looked like everyone there had a great time judging from the video.
Also, check out Icon Collective as they are the ones to thank for bringing Mark and Dean together for this event.
