Pottz Panned to go 100% Live…now it gets real!
Read the note →: Pottz Panned to go 100% Live…now it gets real!Yes I know, the 15th of the month has come and gone and there has been no Pottz Panned – the monthly live video of one of my tracks. Well, I have a very valid excuse reason this month. I have decided that from now on my monthly videos will be streamed live on Facebook…

10oo10k June Monthly Mix
Read the note →: 10oo10k June Monthly Mix10 tracks hand-picked from the 10,000 June releases It’s that time of the month again. 7th of the month usually, but a day delayed for a little anniversary dinner this month. I’ve got a quite a deep and groovy selection this month. The Hugo Remix of Bizen Lopez’s Una Noche Sin Cafe is my favourite for the…

June’s Monthly Notes – New tracks are out
Read the note →: June’s Monthly Notes – New tracks are outYes, back into the music making game. Here’s a link to the playlist of the tracks I’ve worked on in June. All tracks are at the rough mix stage. I’ll let them percolate for a while before final mix and master. Definitely a tech house sound with this batch. Keep an eye out for my…

Pottz Live…back with Pottz Panned
Read the note →: Pottz Live…back with Pottz Panned15th of the month and, after a long break, it’s time again for Pottz Panned – a monthly live video of one of my tracks. As always, this is the first take, no going back to ‘get it perfect’, or even ‘get it a bit better’. This one I wrote last year for the Strawberry…

10oo10k May Monthly Mix
Read the note →: 10oo10k May Monthly Mix10 tracks hand-picked from the 10,000 May releases Ok, I’m back with my monthly mixes. Definitely pushing a strong techno sound this month, Dark City (Original Mix) by DJ Dextro and the Mihalis Safras Africano Remix of Joeski’s Babylon, are my favourites for this month. Each month, I trawl through all the releases, without a bias for the…

Busy rewiring the Brain! Again
Read the note →: Busy rewiring the Brain! AgainGood Habits….take time to reinstate. I should remember from the last time I came out of Corporate Rehab!! The month has already started and I’m a day late with Pottz Posts, and still no sign of any new music. I have been busy, just not nearly as productive as before I took my earn-a-buck ‘break’ for 6 months.…

Keeping the music playing…just
Read the note →: Keeping the music playing…justSo, one month of 2016 is gone, and I’m afraid Steve Pottz is still stuck in the corporate salt mines. But there is some music on the horizon (see a sample of my next release below). First Statement of Revenue – With some good news, my first statement came in from my digital distributor, and…

Starting the new year…high!
Read the note →: Starting the new year…high!Starting 2016 on a high, 40,000 feet high to be exact. No flash NYE party for me, just took off from LAX, en route back to Sydney. So, flying high – a sign of things to come in 2016? I certainly plan it to be. Here’s what’s planned for the year: Live Work: the biggest…

10oo10k October Monthly Mix
Read the note →: 10oo10k October Monthly Mix10 tracks hand-picked from the 10,000 Beatport October releases …only it isn’t. A bit of a cheat this month – dastardly invasive work commitments have meant that my music time has been eroded and I have not been able to trawl through the BeatPort bins to give you the ‘best of’… for the month. But,…

Pottz Panned – Edition 6 – Sweet Time
Read the note →: Pottz Panned – Edition 6 – Sweet Time7th of the month again, time for Pottz Panned. Something a little different this month. This track was created completely by doing a live jammed composition straight into Ableton Live (my live music app). This was actually the combination of 2 projects, the first was from Project Godard – the ‘find your distinct musical voice’ project…
