Painting and music

I've been busy with painting for an upcoming exhibition in Kumu. It's the big national museum of art in Estonia. The dream of every painter. The opening is this Thursday. I haven't been painting for some time and it was cool to do it again. Out of 5 paintings I painted, 2 will be shown and one of them is the portrait of K8 Mosh. The exhibition will be in Kumu until 10.10.10 so go check it out.

I'm taking things to a different level and it will be influencing many aspects of my music. It is a crucial time in my music. As some of you know I'm changing the default tempo from my loved 150 to a calm 135 in the beat. The songs will get their power from the other instruments. Also I am putting more emphasis on having a vocal in my tracks. Some of the songs will have mine and

some will have female vocals. I am reworking some of the older tracks also which haven't been released. Among them also "Everyone's a princess", which is something to look forward to. Look out for my myspace as I will post some new tracks soon ;)

LIVE weekend

This weekend I am playing both nights in Tartu.

rhythm of the dancer 133bpm

I haven't written in quite some time, because I've been busy with music and also school stuff.

The "Dance marathon" in Tallinn was a positive experience. Our dance was different from the others. Using more technology and contemporary imagery. My contribution was more on the music although I did move around aswell. We should have the dvd soon and we are planning to perform it elsewhere as well. Here are some photos from our rehearsal, sadly I don't have any pictures from the actual show.

After the dance marathon was over I rushed over to Salvador, because I had a live there. I had 40 minutes to get there and get groovin.

I'm working on some new banging tracks. I'm going towards more house sound (everything is house nowadays isn't it). The tempo will be more dancer friendly, it will be between 130 and 145 but probably be 133 in my live shows (bless abletons warp). A lot of bass will be present and also some brazilian influences could be probably found from the percussions. I'm also

Remixed

The main news is that I finished and uploaded my remix. I remixed Heat by Mimicry.

Mimicry is a contestant in the Estonian Song 2010 for Eurovision. This is not the song in the final, but another one. As usually(for the second time) I just used the vocals sang by the beautiful Kene Vernik.

A new remix is on the way for a famous Estonian artist not yet to be revealed;)

Also I am doing a dance show with a very talented dancer on the 20th of march in Tallinn. At the Tantsumaraton "Made in Estonia" in Kanuti Gild.

In other news, MTViggy blog has this to say about my music. It's a nice surprise to find something new said about your music.

"Lo Mejor incorporates trickles of conversation, old film clips, Gameboy soundtracks, cartoon wham-boom-pows, and jumpy 4-note basslines into his laptop-driven, synth mess."

...and...

"So why am I selling you a product that can get you sick? This is also a sound that’s guaranteed to get you and your futon-bound friends jumping around. "
