Arms in Motion

Bio

There is always someone who gets coined as “the DJ’s DJ” or “the producer’s producer” – someone who isn’t afraid to bring something new or innovative to the table. Arms is that kind of guy, a swiss army knife of beats. 7 years of collecting music, equipment and technique will soon erupt into a debut album “Ziggurat” which will combine many familiar and un-familiar elements of hip-hop, trip-hop, sampled based music and electronica.

Appearing on stages and festivals with all sorts of cats in the underground scene from home and abroad, Arms In Motion has honed his turntable skills and track selection down to a fine art, tailored to suit the head-nodding-appreciators and the party-goers alike. Don’t expect to relax around the PA system when he takes the stage, you might be taken on a journey to realms of beats you have never heard.

A long time member and collaborator with The Community, Arms also DJ’s for underground rap monster Mathas.

Ziggurat of beats

Friday June 25th, 2010

What it is folks! First up huge thanks to Steve from ololo for putting together this site and Mathas for making it pretty. So what have I been up to apart from procrastinating? Well, my album… is coming along and should be ready by August. Let’s say, definitely ready by then. Making music is a a very fun and rewarding process, although giving birth is harder than the creation. For some reason I am always hesitant to finish/publish things I have worked on, I’m going to make that change once I have finished up this debut album and release a lot more music from here on in. I’m kind of nervous about the whole thing, I’m my worst critic, but enough about that!

Have a listen to my soundcloud player up in the corner, there’s a new beat up which I remixed for The Empty Cup, who is conveniently located a few rooms away from me. He had the parts recorded for this track without the drums so I offered to program them in and do my own take on a finished version of the beat. I’m really happy with the way it turned out. Moby Dick…

Also to celebrate the site launch, here’s a teaser of my album artwork done by the very talented Ryan Boserio from Last Chance Studios. The album will be called Ziggurat, makes the title of this news post seem a bit less confusing.

Still, if you REALLY want to celebrate the site launch. Get on down to The Bird (William st Northbridge) this Saturday for the official launch party.

I’ll see all of you fine folks around the way!
