Music Spotlight: NSB Radio

I must say, I discovered NSB Radio about a week ago and it has already changed my life. It is a 24/7/365 radio station that has 2 hour radio shows of live DJ’s spinning Nu Skool Breaks among other things. So far it has inspired me to get my decks out of storage and hook up my studio (well, what is left of it). It also has inspired me to invest in some new equipment that will allow me to mix mp3s as well. I am going to be completely honest: The shows are hit or miss. Some of them are amazing while others are terrible. But overall, its a great place to check out when you need some good tunes. You can also catch me hanging out in their IRC chat under the alias Envium. Curious to know more about NSB radio? Check out the excerpt taken from their website below.

When I was in college I used to write electronic music remixes and some original tracks. None of them were ever really that great but I had a lot of fun nonetheless. In Winter of 2006 my good friend Robert approached me with another movie idea. Robert, myself, and a group of friends had been making movies for fun over the past couple years and we always had a blast making them. He wanted to do a music video but we didn’t know any bands or musicians that we could make a music video for. We then picked a random track that had previously written – a remix of some vocals that I found online somewhere (nothing popular). Joe, one of the two bodyguards in the video, added some of the videos from the DVD that we produced. I also found the original trailer that I put on YouTube many years ago. I hope you enjoy them. It was quite nostalgic for me

We used a James Bond theme because a lot of us were huge James Bond fans. Robert made magic happen with a budget (as usual) and I put a lot of time and money into a home made switch board to set off the ricochets during the shooting seen. I think both Adam, Doug, and I all suffered from our fair share of electric shocks that occurred during the whole process. Some of the sound seems a bit delayed in the YouTube videos (not sure why).
