DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE - “MUSIC, A DIGITAL DRUG”

________

I’ve just uploaded a new article to my Videojug site. It’s all about sound and music and how it can be used to influence our mood and state of mind. I went through a stage of being fascinated by all of this stuff. In this article I’ll introduce you bit by bit to the incredible world that is the unconscious mind. Specifically, the way that finely tuned sound waves can directly influence our brain state - Scary right? Well, not really… but it’s certainly a very interesting idea!

MIKE FOYLE’S GEEK OUT HUB - VIDEOJUG PAGES

________

Hi all! I recently started up a resource site for general production tips and tricks, interesting articles and tutorials etc. It’s hosted at Videojug Pages which is a new networking site allowing people to share their trade secrets, recipes, how to’s, articles etc etc! Really cool interface and I think it’s going to be quite successful.

Anyway, I’ve been putting some bits up during the Beta stage of their development. So if you want to learn a bit about how I work and what interests me within the world of sound and music, head on over and take a look! Here is a link to my central hub:

A FEW UPDATES :)

________

Hi all!

I’ll just fill you in quickly on what’s new in my life… I just got back from Frankfurt where I did a live radio broadcast on Sunshine Live FM and then played at the legendary U60311 for the Technoclub night with Talla 2XLC. Had a great time and made a short holiday out of it with my girlfriend. Frankfurt is a beautiful city and I’ve met some awesome people there, so I’ll never pass on the chance to spend a few days there for free!

The last few months or so I’ve been extremely busy with new productions! The line up of releases I’ve got waiting on Armada is getting longer and longer so it’s hopefully going to be a big year of releases ahead! Here is a little breakdown on what’s coming:

Mike Foyle presents Statica - Blossom (+ Arty Remix - Melodic Progressive)

Mike Foyle presents Statica - Sundown (Featuring a lush Japanese vocal)

Mike Foyle presents Statica - Head Rush (Big room melodic progressive)

Mike Foyle - Silver Lake (+ DNS Project Remix - New piano trancer!)

Mike Foyle & DNS Project - Cayo Norte (Another piano trancer!!)

Mike Foyle presents Bolt - Rascal (Techy anthem-ish trance)

Mike Foyle presents Bolt - Buff Monkey (Summery housey trance!)

Mike Foyle & X-Vertigo - Freak (Techy trance banger with huge bassline!)

Nash & Pepper - Aftersun (Mike Foyle Remixes)

Nash & Pepper - I Killed the Love (Mike Foyle Remix)

Nash & Pepper - Changed (Mike Foyle Remixes)

All of these are queued up waiting for release so as you can see I’ve had a lot going on lately! And rest assured more are on there way. It’s full steam ahead this year, I’m full of inspiration and have freshed up my studio with some new kit :D

Keep listening and I hope to visit a club near you soon! For a full list of tour dates check out www.myspace.com/mikefoyle and don’t forget to email me if you want at mike@mikefoyle.com. I love hearing from you guys and I’ll always take the time to reply :)

Love you all!

Mike

A FEW UPDATES :)

________

Hi guys! I havn’t posted an update in a while so here a little summary of what’s new!

We all have new years resolutions… and this year mine are big. I’ve set myself new goals and targets which will see me producing 4 times as much music as i have been in previous years. That’s right, 4 times more! I’m by no means sacrificing quality for quantity, I’m just giving myself a bit of a boot up the behind to work as hard as normal people do! As of July 2009 I stopped being a student bum after 4 years of hard studying (yeah right!) and now that I’m a real person in the big wide world, I decided it’s about time I start acting like it and kick myself into gear and devote all the time and attention I can find to doing what I love to do best! I’m so unfathomably lucky to be doing what I’m most passionate about - as a career… I feel so positive about what I’m doing and SO full of inspiration, nothing is going to get in my way. Actually…I can myself starting work on an album at some point this year… but no promises… ;)

I’ve made a huge effort so far this year and have finished 3 brand new tracks in the last 3 weeks. I’m also working on 2 new remixes which will be done very soon and I’ve just finished mixing the next in Armadas compilation series “Worldwide Trance Sounds”. So it’s been a great month so far! I’m also very excited to be able to announce that “Deadly Nightshade” will FINALLY be released in February! The package also contains massive remixes from Phynn and R.E.N.O.I.S.E. It’s had some heavy support from all of the usual suspects and this long awaited track is set to be a big release, so keep an eye out for it!

You may also have come accross my new podcast which I started up in the new year. I’ll be uploading my Bolted podcasts regularly along with the odd “guestcast” here and there to satisfy your musical appetites, and I’ll also be airing my Bolted radio show on Afterhours FM on the first Friday of every month starting in February.

You can subscribe to my podcast via itunes by clicking on this link:

Or with anything else using this link:
