How to beatbox


Beat boxing is simple, and its just like imitating a drum kit, but you can also pretty much make any sound with you mouth after some practice.
To start with you will need to know the 3 main sounds made which are :
P
T
K
Really make the letter loud big pitch. By saying P , the first part of the sound is like a bass. Take the drag of the letter and you left with the sound of the big foot drum. Do the same with the T and K. When you have the sounds sounding ok start making little sequences and amaze your friends. You will sound like a genuine beat boxer.

What's real music?



The music you like can depend on the type of person that you are. If your like me and hate most mainstream songs that are played constantly then good for you! I prefer to listen to bands and singers that are not really recognised. Certain songs becoming popular has ruined them because you get sick to death of hearing them and if a song get's in the top 10 no matter how rubbish it is people just follow the crowd. It's so annoying. So many amazing artists don't get the recognition they deserve.

Remember Kesha's song 'Tik Tok'? It sold more copies that any Beatles single I find this shocking.

Please don't follow the crowd, find your own taste and enjoy music for 
how amazing it can be.

Skrillex - From a No-one to a someone


 As Skrillex is becoming more and more popular and is fitting in with Drum and Bass now, and 
with the release of a album, Skrillex may become one of the biggest artist who has lived. Only 
time can tell. 

Sonny Moore or better known as Skrillex is one of the world’s most famous electro and dub step
 artists out there. But how did this illusive figure become who he is today? 

Before Sonny went alone and joined in with what most 
artists these days are doing, he was the lead singer and 
guitarist for "from first, to last" 

In Sonny's burst of fame over the last 2 years he has 
stunned the dance floors all around the world and now 
can put his feet up.

Drum And Bass History


Over the last 30 years Drum and Bass has been the master on the dance floor and is one of the most preferred genre of music used by night clubs. But thing weren’t always this successful for the artists.

Drum and Bass is an electro dance like music and started its days in the UK back in the late 80’s. The genre changed a lot in the first 15 years of it existence between Hip-Hop, Jazz, Electro, Funk, House and Dance floor. For a long time Drum and Bass left the UK and travelled across seas to L.A but later returned to the UK as Jungle, later know as the famous Drum & Bass.

  The most famously known Drum and bass artist is Goldie, who has a very well recognised face worldwide.

The name Drum and Bass sprung after Radio 1 picked up on the pirate radio stations and started to play some of the underground tracks they used, causing the mainstream Drum & Bass.

Many say Drum & Bass is being over ran  by Dub-Step and its only a matter of time until TechStep fills the UK top 40.
