Once Again We Say, Thanks

Once again, good looks to all the supporters this past Saturday @ BLDG. From the looks of it, we might be on to something. Stay tuned as we continue to post updates about events, new venues, and more. We're pretty tired right now, but it's all worth it when the family has a good time out. Shout out to Miha, all the staff at BLDG, and Louis, our dj cohort for the night. He held it down too and our transitions were seamless. Gotta love a well oiled machine... Yuuup!

DJ Mr.Wonka Handling Bidness..lol.

Thanks to everybody who came out to support Surround Soundz this past weekend... Some funny stories to walk away with and a learning experience all around... Maker's, or Bar 29, or what have you was a good situation on Friday..! Alot of cool people, good music, good drinks, and a very competitive pool table kept the evening at just what we expected it to be. Relaxed, yet really fun.. And no one expected people to dance, but they did...hey why not! lol. Please believe that it goes down again this Friday with Surround Soundz... Expect some new faces, more competition at the table, and more good music from the team. Saturday was a great look for us too... With a rotation of four different dj's, it can be a confusing situation, but actually, it was a smooth transition between all of us. But we HAVE to say it, alot of the party goers could tell when we were spinning and when we weren't. One of the dj's actually asked us to stop going in..! LOL... But hey, that's apart of working together as a team right? *shrugs shoulders*..lol. BTW, shout out to Tom, the last dj for the night. This dude ripped it for the last set of the night, so shout out's to him. Real Talk! Til we link up again, thanks again for the support fam... Peace

And the Story Continues....

This Saturday, that's (counting on fingers) one, two, two days away, Surround Soundz will be at the brand new, BLDG, formerly known as The China Club. It will be the opening night for the newly renovated space so special treatment is in order. Free entry for all people all night and open bar from 9pm to 12 am. We'll be spinning from 9pm to about 2am opening up for Funkmaster Flex, so definitely come thru. The address is 268 West 47th Street, right on the corner of 8th avenue. Be sure to come out and support the family as we grow! Remember, "we're all about progression" so as we expand, we want you to be there with us! Hope to see you on Saturday, and don't forget, it's FREE! Have questions, email us at surround_soundz@yahoo.com. O yeah, and tomorrow, we keep it chill at Maker's afterwork so don't miss out.... !

SSZ signing off... Peace...

Just Chillin'

Come get your pool game on, grab a cheap drink, watch a game, and vibe with Surround Soundz as we chill this Friday at Maker's. Definitely a good look to end the work week. Friendly faces along with a full size pool table will definitely keep the night interesting! Whether you're coming from work, just hanging out, or in the area, stop by and see what's good this Friday... Tell a friend to tell a friend because it's the right way to chill after a stressful work week. No large crowds, no overly loud music, just relaxation... See you there! And bring your pool game!

The Beat Machine- MPC

The MPC is one of the foremost instruments in the music industry used to create a large majority of the beats heard nowadays. It stores, records, and utilizes samples for creation of rhythyms. It can loop samples, beats, sounds, and more. It allows the beat maker the ability to chop up a sample, mix and match, and when the right sounds have been blended properly, record it. It’s a very good tool to have when producing because it’s very moldable to the sound that the beat maker is looking for. Once the right drum kit and tempo is in place, the sky is the limit with where the beat can go! Of course, there are different models and some have more features than others, but overall, this is a must have tool for the beat enthusiast. Just watch how each beat builds and comes together in a complete package. Look at a couple of dudes on their MPC’s and see how each style is completely different, and that’s based mostly on the samples and kits they are using...Tough…

We Just Wanna Be Successful..Or In the Zone, Whatever Works!

What defines success? Success is usually looked at as the ability to achieve a set goal. In our eyes, success comes from the ability to fail more times then succeed. Because although we may fail (boring venue, sound failure, bad mixing night, etc.), we become successful at learning from those mistakes, and the next step? Move on.. Guaranteed that out of all our failures, success will come of it..So when we do hit 1 bit of success out of 100 failures, we get in the zone! Be safe this weekend.... LOL..

For Soldiers Only!

Best believe, one of this years highly anticipated albums is "Soldier of Love," Sade's first studio recorded album in 10 years. Will it be one of the best albums to come out this year? Can't say for sure but based on just the hype of it all, it's possible. From just her first single, it's pretty clear that her earthy touch to her music is still there. That "reach out and touch the listener" skill is still intact and I doubt it's gonna be going anywhere. But best believe we're not the only ones looking forward to her album release next Monday, Feb.8th, worldwide. Look @ the line up for her upcoming shows. NUTS! She's back to the public grind! Welcome back... lol

Where Are YOU going to be this Thursday?

What are you doing after work this Thursday? Nothing? Cool. Neither are we, so join us at a new spot as we spin some classic hip hop and rnb for the masses. Come dressed as you are, as long as it's presentable and kick back and enjoy $4 well drinks, domestic beers, and a host of mixed drinks. Play a little pool or watch a game as you unwind from the week. We'll be at Maker's, THIS Thursday, 405 3rd Ave between 28th and 29th Street starting at 6pm. Free entry all night, so no need to worry for all those on the budget right now! See you there..
