Been sitting on this one for a while. Not that I am not happy with it, but the previous mix was just phenomenal! ;)A little moodier with this one and playing around with stepping down through the keys - which I think again creates a more 'swampy' mix instead of an upwards progression.Follow me over on my site - bromidedub.com - more mixes, thoughts…

Been a while. Instead of watching TV tonight, I decided to cobble this together. A few tunes I have been listening to - thrown into Ableton and assembled into something else. Was a little liberal on the warping - so some of these are chopped and screwed a bit. Time Warped, I shall say.Follow me over on my site - bromidedub.com - more mixes, thought…

With the recent name change, I thought it was a great opportunity to highlight the work that is been done over the ditch by another good bloke by the name of Mike Dyson.Mike runs Good Blokes – a facilitator for a range of events and courses focused on well, building better blokes!While doing the research for the name change (which honestly, I had a…

This is a segment of a conversation with the legend that is Mike King. I have had some thoughts about the subject brewing in my head for the best part of a year now and was keen to start talking to some people about the subject.Mike King was a logical first choice – his work relates to it, though we (the firearms community) have their own take that…

As is often the case, after you finish the 'official' recording, many great conversations are had. This is the 'after hours' clip from my recent interview with Rusty from Impact Dynamics in Australia.The original interview can be found over here – https://precisionshooter.co.nz/rusty-from-impact-dynamics/ – but it really made more sense to have thi…

Rusty, Rusty, Rusty. The man behind Impact Dynamics, The Precision Shooting Podcast and much more. It has been a while since I caught up with him - and though an end of the year, state of the nations catchup would be good.I have seriously enjoyed watching Rusty and his many projects grow and grow. From the Podcast to the huge amount of video conten…

This one has been a long time coming!Thomas Haugland - known as THLR, or simply Norway in NZ - this guy is one of the originators of online content when it comes to long-range shooting.If you don't already know his work (you actually, likely do) - then pop over here to check out his youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmKvQfvjqbUakUo…

We need to be working with kids, parents, people, all of us, to help us ever get to the point where we ever really even need to seriously think about self-harm. It shouldn't even enter our conversation - as we should feel the support, love and self-worth the lets us know we have value on the planet, in whatever way we choose.And what a mission it i…

It would be pretty hard to have missed the recent incident involving firearms on a movie set recently.I had Andrew on, a Movie Armourer who has worked on several large sets about firearms safety during filming and in general – because the same principles you apply day-to-day should be used when hunting or when handing or taking a firearm.Also discu…

Ammo. Factory, custom, reloading, handloading - what really is the difference - how much difference is there - and what is the most 'bang for your buck'?There is a lot of information, misinformation and borderline confusion over ammo on the internet. In this video, we all try our best to add to it!Diversions tonight include some history of internat…

Ah. The Filterbrats.What happens when you take a Black Metal drummer and songwriter and a Minimal Techno Music Engineer – A Filtered French Disco Duo. Of course!I originally met Clayon many, many years ago playing at the Papakura sound bowl. He was playing with the band, I was the in-between-bands-DJ. By memory, the set I played involved a lot of O…

Dub music means different things to different people.My introduction was, I think, through the likes of Smith & Mighty – certainly my introduction was by way of Techno – so I lean more on the sparse, deep and moody side of things compared to what I would call Reggae Dub – ‘skank’ with more organs, guitars and references to ‘Ja’.I guess, to me, Dub …

Welcome to Good Blokes - the podcast I have been wanting to make for over 20 years now. This is a chat with David Benfell, an NZ and Bristish Vetren who faced the very real possibility of never walking again after a Parachuting Accident broke his spine.It’s a great chat. Two guys dropping their guard a bit and just talking.There is so much in here.…

Thanks for all the great feedback from part one! It was very cool to talk to Dan about the business. This time though, we promise to talk guns as well!Focusing on the history of the Hybrid and the future with Project X – Dan gets deep into the technical side of things, and of course, through some knowledge bombs in regards to running a successful b…

Basically, I wanted a mix of some tunes I have been listening to recently to form a good background for a pile of work I have been trying to get done.I find this style of D&B gets the creative/typing juices going, so it keeps the brain at high revs while I try to get some ideas out. Enjoy!Follow me over on my site - kerry.co.nz - more mixes, though…

Feedback loops, data gather, mindfulness behind the rifle, all these relatively new terms are really providing modern names for something that has always been true. If you pay attention, have an intention, and train and shoot accordingly, you will improve.What Chris is doing reminds me, in a way of Thomas Hauglands THLR Proficiency challenge – anot…

If you are in New Zealand, it is unlikely that I need to introduce you to Hardy Rifles or the man behind the company – Dan Hardy.Hardy Rifles have been a mainstay of the NZ firearms industry and community for a long time. From their extensive range of suppressors, bringing carbon wrapped barrels to the market, and now with their Hybrid and Project …

Another quick mix. Listening to my last one, I realised I do have a habit of jumping all over the place. I think this is a result of spending quite a lot of time playing back rooms/chill-out rooms for long, long sets - so you do get to wander. Now I am recording much shorter sets, but still wanting to cover off a dozen genres in one go!So - this is…

Another mix.Though - I still face a little bit of a conundrum with this one - because I am not sure if I should call it a mix or a construction.I recently picked up a small midi controller, which came with a copy of Ableton Lite - so this was 'constructed' within there.Ableton allows me to be a little more creative with speed changes and 'optimise'…

This one took me two goes to record. The first was a mess.However, as it says in the title. I figured it out.I was trying to hard. Or - I was trying to inject too much of myself into the mix and make it more complicated than it really needed to be.It dawned on me, out of a little bit of respect to the music I was playing - which, ironically, I was …

Not much to say on this one. A bit of a ropey mix.It does, however, include one of my favourite audio illusions - a risset tone - also known as a rising tone. A modular producing a risset and a 909 could almost be the perfect track for me. Maybe with an 808 breakdown.presented by The Bloke

About three mixes in I came up with the description for this one. It takes a sharp left turn and I am still not 100% sure how I ended up where I did.It was also one of those odd mixes where I didn't feel 100% in control at most points - tricky mixing, with a tricky direction leading to a sense of being in the mix, but at the same time just watching…

Our first show for 2021!Kerry (Precision Shooter), Graeme (TLRS), Blair (Section22) and Dirk (Rookie Precision) get together to catch up, welcome the new year in, talk training, gear, a long diversion into hunting ethics and safety, as well as lessons learnt from 2020 and what they are looking forward to in 2021.Follow us over on the main site - pr…

'Not bad' was my thought about halfway through this mix.It started off wrong - about a mix in I canned the recording, took a step back and started again. I guess I was trying too hard. I was trying to shoehorn something together that was 'intellectually smart' but musically just not going to work.I started again. Let the first track decide what the…

Hold on because this is a bit of a ropey one!I enjoyed mixing this one. It's a style of mixing I get into - drop the record, push the faders up, sort it out in the mix. It might not result in the smoothest, cleanest mix in the world - but you know there a human behind the decks, not just an algorithm.I swing back and forward on the 'method of mixin…

I was a little surprised when I started mixing again. I expected to struggle a bit with the beatmatching - having not done it for quite some time.Much to my surprise, I didn't have that much of an issue. I got pretty much back into the groove with the expected rollercoaster of keeping a mix in sync. I have always had this, as most DJs do mixing vin…
