HighBreedMusic

The music video series continues with Chris Rob.

Check out his new single “Movin’ On”

The music world has lost a wonderful pioneer today with the death of Soul Train host, Don Cornelius. His contribution to both black music and media made it possible for early modern soul to be broadcast to mainstream America and led to Soul Train’s influence on many popular artists to come.

Here at HighBreedMusic we’d like to wish Don Cornelius Love, Peace, and Soul as he enters rest.

After four months, I made it back to Brooklyn from Montreal. I dropped in to see my homies @ the HighBreedMusic headquarters. Walking up to the building all I can remember is the insanity of the evacuation in June! The building looks great, the studio looks fantastic. Sadly my bed has turned into a storage for drums :( Highbreed’s renovations have made the studio more cozy and inspiring than ever! So glad to be back here with the fantastic, welcoming crew. BIG LOVE.

Snarky Puppy killed it today at The Breeding Ground NYC. Their rehearsal was broadcast live on NUMUBU for viewers around the world to enjoy. The Breeding Ground isn’t a rehearsal space, but we are honored to host Snarky Puppy as they prepare to record their next album in December. If you didn’t get a chance to see them during the last two rehearsals, make sure you tune in tomorrow. We’ll be doing another live broadcast courtesy of NUMUBU from 5pm-8pm EST.

Today, we filmed Vikter Duplaix at the BET screening of the season 2 premiere of Master of the Mix. We caught exclusive interviews with cast members and celebrity judges, DJ Kid Capri and AmberRose. 

Was it cool? Yes, indeed. The event was hosted by Smirnoff and there were definitely a bunch of interesting people around. Season 2 of Master of the Mix looks like it’s going to be even more exciting than season 1. Check out the premiere, this Saturday at Midnight.

Now…it’s time to repair cables. I’m gonna bust out the soldering iron and get to work. See you tomorrow!

We just got back from eating burritos at Morelos…Yum. I think I’m waaaaay too full to stay up much longer, but I wanted to stop by and say hello and thank you to everyone who tuned in to our first live broadcast of Snarky Puppy’s rehearsals at The Breeding Ground on Numubu.

Snarky Puppy were good sports, answering questions, telling viewers a little about their background, and playing some awesome music for for everyone who tuned in. It was a great day and tomorrow will be even cooler. More band members will be coming through to rehearse, so we’ll have a full house. Wish I could be there too, but I’ll be filming a press event. No worries, I’ll be back to host our live broadcast on Friday. Tomorrow, you’ll get to see The High Breed drummer, Bob Edinger, host Snarky Puppy’s rehearsal on Numubu. Show him some love and tell all your friends! 

Thursday rehearsal time: 5pm-8pm EST

Greetings and Salutations!

First: Shout out to the interns - I hope you guys are enjoying the last seconds of summer. Thank you for your time and help! Good luck with school this year! Actually, now that I think about it, some of these programs might help you manage your work load this year.

Recently, we went on a search to find programs that would help with organizing projects and tracking progress. I’ve mentioned Xmind before, the cool mind-mapping tool, and now I have more to share with you.

Evernote - Helps you “remember everything.”  You can create notebooks and share them with friends or coworkers to plan events, organize trips, add pictures and links. You can make checklists, and even add video or audio notes.

Producteev - This online task management system lets you create workspaces and to do lists that are sent directly to your email. It makes it easy to prioritize and keep track of what you have to do,  assign tasks to others and stay on top of deadlines. You can use it as an individual to track personal business, or as a team to keep track of projects.

Numbers - Create charts, spreadsheets, tables. The templates are easy to navigate and it’s really easy to create formulas. You add pictures to the charts or customize the look of your tables and work space. Very cool.

If you’re looking for way to get on top of things, checking out these programs would be a great place to start.

This morning I sat in a massive amount of immovable traffic and I came to the sudden realization that traffic is bad news…mentally.  There is way too much time to just sit there and think…about the most random things.  There’s a point where you have to think positively about what you are going to do for the day, before you start worrying about whether or not you look presentable.  You soon realize that traffic’s at its most tolerable when the destination is somewhere you actually want to get to.  So, I calculated, and I patched my thought process and figured out that there are so many things for us to do here today.  We have to edit profiles, mix songs, write…lots of writing (by the way, if you notice I love to use ellipsis’ for pauses). Nikki and I are cracking down right now, actually, so till later cheers to a productive happy day.

Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday= busy, busy, busy.  Have I said “busy, busy, busy” before? Oh well, forgive me but sometimes it just takes too long to find the perfect phrasing.  Letting it slide, I’ll say that cleaning for the first part of the day, and writing, editing, mixing for the second part has kept everyone productive.  I mean, it’s pretty easy to be productive when you have an ongoing playlist of Michael Jackson and Prince in the background.  Toss in a little Marvin Gaye and you got a recipe for a happily active day.  Nikki and I have been busy editing an important letter…the joys of being a writer and trying to find the perfect ways to express what you want to say.  Aggravation ensues!

See that!  At least what we are writing for a purpose…something we can feel worthy of putting our best efforts into.  The rest of the team’s been doing everything from mixing and editing some tracks to making some sweet espressos.

Scott, Mike, and Buse are continuing their Tom highlights and song edits…it’s all coming together nicely and sounds pretty rad to me. Good news of the day (that I found out): Groundfood was really happy with our video for them!  This all makes us really proud and inspires us to work harder to please all these artists that we admire and respect.  Till tomorrow (or tonight, depending upon my mood) I wish you all a very happy Tuesday evening/night!

Morning, everyone (exclamation point). So, today I woke up feeling pretty crappy and wondering the best cure for a sick stomach; Tuesday all of a sudden felt like a Monday.  Incidentally, coffee with as much sugar as possible and cigarettes work…who knew?  That gave me a needed boost to start cleaning day after the weekend. The cleaning was actually pretty fun, though…Nikki and I just listened to music and made everything neat and cleanly.  I read a poem of Nikki’s and the girl’s got skills.  Now we’re in the studio starting some work…editing songs and writing letters.  Cheers till later!
