How to Save Eurobeat — PRODUCERS: Experiment, Experiment, Experiment!

This one will come as no surprise to my long-time acquaintances in this genre; on forums and in several other places I’ve been incredibly vocal about Eurobeat expanding its horizons and trying new things. Of course, in a genre in which simply suggesting that the genre make the best of a less-than-stellar situation gets you [...]

HOW TO SAVE EUROBEAT — VOCALISTS: Raise New Ones, Refine Seasoned Veterans

I had to do another one of these some time. One of the things I really like about Eurobeat is that so many of its stars and key players are still around from the very beginning. We have Giancarlo Pasquini (Dave Rodgers), Claudio Accatino, Frederico Rimonti (Franz Tornado), Giacomo Maiolini, etc. still producing after 20+ [...]

Another quick thought on modern music and Eurobeat

In perhaps a more positive light this time, I’d like to revisit the subject of modern music and what Eurobeat stands to learn from it. There are, of course, those who continue to surmise that “American Top 40″ will continue to kill the genre and that all hope is lost and yadda yadda (because God [...]

Sure wish I was getting a chunk of this.

http://www.legalsounds.com/download-mp3/eurobeat-brony/super-ponybeat-vol-1/album_452408 It’s one thing to pirate my stuff. That’s gonna happen. But turning a profit on it? That’s a new low. It’s a ripoff anyway; on my store, it’s available for FREE. Just sayin’.

Just a quick note

I just found out that my most recent song on Super Eurobeat shares a title with a collection of English-language instruction books in Japan. This is clearly a sign… that we must start using Eurobeat to teach English in Japan.

Of Steak Sauce and Eurobeat: Why too much of a good thing can kill a well-intentioned compilation

211′s samples give me a glimpse of a Eurobeat ‘steak’ changed all too drastically by too much Slow/Italo ‘sauce’. Without more cautious management of new tracks, future steaks could be equally ‘oversoaked’.

Possible New Year’s Resolutions for Eurobeat in 2011

WOW! It’s been quite a year in the Eurobeat world. Instead of going over any of its history this year, I’ll instead propose some potential New Year’s Resolutions for Eurobeat as a whole this year, at the risk of sounding as if I have enough awareness to say such things. LOL, AUDACITY. Anyway, here goes: [...]

“My Backstory as a Pixel”

http://odysseymusic.bandcamp.com/album/my-backstory-as-a-pixel-vol-1 My newest release has the acapellas and instrumentals from the Eurobeat entries that had vocal work on My Life as a Pixel Vol. 1. I’m sorry I can’t have MLAaP Vol. 2 out to you so soon, but I’ve been super-busy lately as it is, with University work. Hopefully I can have some tracks [...]

Of Eurobeat and Design Firms: A way to relate Eurobeat business to the layman

Technically speaking, I should be doing my homework now. But, before I do that, I wanted to share something real quick. I was walking out of my class and couldn’t help but come up with an analogy of the Eurobeat business with an already existing field of business. The after some thought, I realized that it was a fairly decent analogy of the Eurobeat business for someone uninitiated with the music business, so I thought I would share that here.
