Learn about Detroit Techno 101 Lessons | Intro to EDM Songwriting using TR-808

Electronic Dance Music (EDM), also known as Dance Music, Club Music, House Music, Techno, and a variety of other genres that are a part of the broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. It is created by Producers and by DJs who create seamless mixes that are selections of tracks, by transitioning from one recording to another and matching the beat patterns. EDM producers also perform their music live in a concert or festival setting in that is sometimes called a live DJ Mix, DJ Set or a PA. We have created this lesson plan as a part of our Detroit Techno 101 Curriculum and it is called an Introduction to EDM Songwriting using TR-808 and TR-303 Emulators. It’s designed to help teachers to explore the EDM genres and the structure of song. Our goals is to enable more teachers to integrate music education on subjects of interest to modern teens at the Middle School or High School (9th-12th) levels but anyone can explore the process used to create an EDM song if you have ever wanted to create your own track. Here are the lesson’s objectives and the free materials you can […]

Rosé, The “Pride of BLACKPINK”, stuns on Fallon with record-breaking solo debut. [WATCH]

 Launched in the summer of 2016, YG Entertainment’s flagship girl band BLACKPINK is nothing short of an utter (and international) phenomenon. After releasing their first album (called “The Album”), their first full-length documentary (Netflix’s “Light Up The Sky”), and their first virtual concert “The Show”, which was virtually attended by over 250,000 of their most diehard fans exclusively on Youtube last January, the BLACKPINK name and franchise has become a juggernaut in their native South Korea and Hollywood, too. But fortunately for us, their “firsts” aren’t stopping there anytime soon. Following fellow member Jennie Kim’s triumphant 2018 excursion, the quartet’s lead vocalist and bombshell Roseanne “Rosé” Park digitally unveiled her inaugural solo project the aptly-titled “R” on Friday, March 12th, 2021.  Two years in the making, “R” features double singles “On The Ground”, a gutsy but sugary sweet Pop anthem based around the 24-year-old’s tumultuous journey towards womanhood, and “Gone”, a stirring, guitar-driven look at Park’s sizable experience with romantic heartbreak. Coming in with upwards of 400,000+ physical pre-orders, both breaking and setting a record for Korean female artists, “R’’ was an immediate and astounding commercial and critical success. Succeeding a well-received set of premieres on SBS music show Inkigayo over […]

2021 GRAMMYS: Nominations, artist reactions & where to go from here. [Opinion]

2021 GRAMMYS: Nominations, artist reactions & where to go from here. [Opinion]

For the past 60 years or so, musicians from all over the world have gathered on the picturesque streets of Downtown Los Angeles every winter or spring for a shot at a chance of a lifetime: An opportunity to win a golden GRAMMY Award. Longlisted as the dream of all dreams for professionals and hobbyists alike, fandom and the field have come to position a win or series of wins as the end-all-be-all for an entertainer’s commercial life but what happens to the health of the field when said dream begins to show itself as a logistical, cultural and creative nightmare? Seeing broadcast for the first time in the year 1959, The Recording Academy (formed two years prior in 1957) essentially created The GRAMMYs to honor a score of assorted vocalists, instrumentalists, producers, engineers, songwriters, and composers who at the time, due to differing circumstances, wouldn’t or couldn’t be formally recognized by the already established and inexplicably powerful Hollywood Walk of Fame Project. Finding its footing in the proceeding decades, The GRAMMYS would eventually come to take on a life of its own thanks to the formation of The Grammy Foundation in 1989, the formation of The Latin Recording Academy, […]

Introducing aespa: SM Entertainment creates a part avatar K-pop group and the future of music

Since opening their doors for the first time in the year 1995, South Korea’s SM Entertainment has always had rather grandiose musical ambitions. Home to dozens of acts of varying sizes, concepts, generations and sub-types, the label’s roster has essentially taken on a life of its own and a quarter-century later, SME is pushing said life to all new digital limits. Comprised of members Karina, Winter, Giselle and Ningning, aespa (whose name is a combination of English words avatar, experience and aspect), weren’t just intended to be a top-tier global idol group but a window into the fledgling frontiers of both virtual and augmented reality. Equipped with computer-generated or more specifically artificially-intelligent and interactive versions of themselves collectively called avatars or ‘’æ’’, Karina, Winter, Giselle and Ningning are anticipated to be the hi-tech muse and creators of content and story-telling the likes of which the entertainment industry and perhaps larger world has never before seen, encountered or heard and SME’s confidence in the quartet already seems to be paying off big time.   Their first single “Black Mamba” (which tells of a vague snake-like evil serving as an in-realm threat to the human and AI members of aespa) was released […]

Jhené Aiko’s Year At The Top Of The Charts | Artist Profile

Jhené Aiko Spends Year At The Top Of The Charts And Solidifying Her Hold On R&B and Hip-Hop Standing at a mere 5’2 and supremely soft-spoken, Los Angeles-native Jhené Aiko, 32, wouldn’t necessarily strike a normal passerby as a force of near-epic nature but quite often our culture’s greatest heroes and heroines come in the form of its tiniest and most humble packages. Since the start of her career in the early 2000s, much of which she spent recording and appearing alongside popular R&B boyband B2K and Swedish girl group PLAY, Aiko has devoted herself to keeping her head above life and the industry’s ever-changing waters and teaching others, including her own peers, how to do the exact same. The Album Chilombo After taking a few years’ long hiatus upon the release of 2017’s psychedelic “Trip”, Aiko announced the arrival of her new album “Chilombo” in mid-2019. The sonic culmination of several months spent songwriting on the Big Island of Hawaii, “Chilombo” (which hit stores on March 6th, 2020) takes her loyal listeners on a journey through the heart, soul and mind of a woman finally found content. Though not wholly dissimilar from her past projects, where her previous work […]

The Evolution Of Trap Music

The Evolution Of Trap Music

Music has come a long way from where it started in the late 1800s, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph round August 12, 1877. It was stated that during his research he gave birth to the sound processing devices called gramophones. From then to fast forwarding to now things change from equipment, genres of music, and how music is distributed. Which leads me to researching on how the emerging genre of Trap Music started. What Is Trap Music? Trap Music is a genre of music that started in the South in the early 1990s, and continues to grow in various areas some places more than others but its stamped. As mentioned on the Music Origins Project Site Trap Music is defined as, aggressive lyrical content and sound, where the instrumentals are propelled by 808 kick drums or heavy extended sub-bass lines, double-time, triple-time and other faster time division hi-hats, layered synthesizers, and “cinematic” strings. I agree it definitely has its own sound, and the artists have their own style which brings you into their world. By being in the trap music world, it brings you to more of a visual on what’s being scene in neighborhoods across America. To bring Trap […]

Des-pa-cito… Is the song that got the world obsessed with Reggaeton The hit from 2017, took the world by storm and represented a pinnacle attained by a relatively new genre.  The song that topped all the charts around the world. And, to everyone’s surprise, it wasn’t an English composition, but a Latin one! The first and the only one Spanish-language track in the history of Latin music which had become such a huge success all over the world. Basically, this very song started the total popularisation of reggaeton. Although, it became popular in the United States and Europe already in 2004. Today everyone knows J Balvin, the first Latin artist who could conquer American audience. This year he has become the first Latin headliner at all key music festivals in the United States. Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Nicky Jam, Ozuna, Don Omar, Becky G, CNCO, Maluma…. The list is pretty huge. But not everyone knows how this genre was created.

Bad Bunny’s blend of Latin Trap and Reggaeton Comes Puerto Rican Roots

Bad Bunny’s blend of Latin Trap and Reggaeton Comes Puerto Rican Roots

Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, known professionally as Bad Bunny, was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. While studying at the University of Puerto Rico, he worked as bagger in a supermarket. He was also gaining popularity as a Latin trap and reggaeton singer on the music platform Sound Cloud, and was signed to a record label. That was three (3) years ago. Last Saturday, April 27, 2019, he performed before a sold-out Madison Square Garden in New York City. In his music review in the April 30, 2019 edition of The New York Times (“A Pop Recalibrator Is Still Changing It Up,” Bad Bunny’s revue spanned his career. All three years), Jon Caramanica describes the experience thusly: “EVERY SONG BAD BUNNY performed at Madison Square Garden Saturday night came paired with its own specific, vivid, elaborate graphics. The visuals took over screens that hovered above the arena floor and the cross-shaped stage, which was a huge screen itself, giving the effect that the rapper was swimming in a pool of his own creation, a video-game protagonist sprouting out of pixels and into real life.” During “Tenemos Que Hablar” [“We Have To Talk”], the jumpy pop-punk song from his debut studio […]
