Hi fans, it's been a very long time since my last touch here! But here is some fresh news about DJ FYB...

It is with great pleasure I decided to participate to the Depeche Mode's remixing contest for the track PEACE. This is organized in collaboration with BeatPort, Mute Records, Native Instruments and JazzMutant.

The first step was to buy the sources at $4.99 USD from BeatPort.com to get the WAVs. It appears, shared also by a lot of participants who expressed this at the beginning, that the quality of the WAVs was not so good - at least, not what we expected in terms of quality. But this is why we spent so many money in our equipements so we can than adjust the quality from poor to high - with a bit of tricks.

My first feeling was to focus on the voices. I also planned to have a 126 bpm in a ****of house. So I started to cut and rearrange the voices to fit in the ****I wanted. Than I put some drums and a lot of toms to get a bit of tribal.

I decided to use FruityLoops 8 and Reason 4 to do this. Than comes the point where I was almost satisfy but always think about a little change here and a little change there! So the date of delivery had cut my "perfectionnist" side and I submitted as it was.

I will not say that my remix is the best one. Indeed, I listened some incredible remixes from the other participants and I know that my chances are limited. But, at least I did not heard a lot of them that have so much vocal on it, and the experience was absolutely fantastic for me. It is not everyday that I am able to manipulate music from a notorious group like DM. Just this is enough for me to justify the many hours I put on this project.

Depeche Mode is not so easy to remix as they are a bit offbeat when singing and their tempo is not - a priori - the tempo of house. I had to readjust some time where the word will appear in terms of note. A delicate work I should say!

So if you want to support my work - I invite all of you to vote today on BeatPortal.com at:

I also built a video of a simple "montage" Depeche Mode's photos I just picked from Google Photos. You can watch/listen this video at:

This method to advertise our mixes seems to be very popular as several DJs for the contest had did the same. I knew somewhere that YouTube was a possibility but I never did the jump to the idea before. Something I start to think now for my own materials as well.

P.S.: I want to take advantage of this blog entry to wish all participants good luck. There is a lot of talent and the imagination of all is incredible - considering we all started with the same source files!

Dear fans,

It is with great pleasure I am offering you my latest composition that I called "Lifecycle". But wait, it is not only one song I am giving to you today but 2 versions of the same essence:

• the Original Version
• and the Full Journey Remix

The Original Version
This version came like the ones I prefer; when imagination, time, material and easiness are combine like magic and deliver in an incredible deal of short-time but with power and fine lines of sound! This is a 4:11 to hear and appreciate where the house will be just borderline to new age and enough to dance!

The Full Journey Remix
When I finished the original, I was looking for something a bit more corky and to go higher with the song. Well, this is not an easy job as it was harder to find the right fusion to do. But with imagination and lots of delicate attentions to the sounds, a more adventurous journey will start your feet and put you in a moment of your life! This is Lifecycle - Full Journey Remix and it is made to hear loud!

---

Lifecycle is available to listen through streaming online. If you prefer to have it as a pure high quality MP3, you can visit the DJ FYB Store and buy it at only $0.99.

I invite you to come see my new look on my official web site at: http://djfyb.net.

Dear fans:

I usually start my announcement with the "I am proud to presents" but
this time, I am also very happy to have found this new way to create
music as the ****is going somewhere different! It has been a very
productive long week-end as I created La Planète Tourne En Rond and
Dance With Me; both for the album We Like You. But I decided to
execute a previous fantasy I had in mind to sing with imaginative
words as the context of Vock's is far away in the future where French
and English might be forgotten.

The track Chaane I (The Emperor) is related to the scene where The
Emperor Chaane I is doing his official entrance in the intergalactic
and imperial palace on the planet Volmar.

This is a total new direction for me and I hope you will like it
because it is just the beginning of a long journey!

To listen this song, go to the official web site at http://djfyb.net and select the song Chaane I (The Emperor) from the music player.

Happy listening!

Dear Fans:

I am proud to presents my new release: Dance with Me. I decided to
play more with the velocity with this song and the result is amazing!
Inspired with some sound effects found to create La Planete Tourne En
Rond, I found a new experience to do Dance With Me and not to mention
that I had a lot of fun too!!! The song is based on a 116 beats per
minute, which gives a new dimension to the ****Idevelopped over the
album We Like You.

To listen this song, simply go to http://djfyb.net and select the song
Dance With Me from the music player - actually first to play at this
moment.

I hope you gonna like it and I wish you a very happy listening!!!

Chers fans:

C'est avec le plus grand plaisir que je vous annonce ma nouvelle
composition intitulé La Planète Tourne En Rond. Il s'agit de ma
première composition en français dont voici les paroles:

La planète tourne, en rond
La planète tourne, en rond
La planète tourne, en rond
La planète tourne, en rond

Faut suivre la cadence
La rotation
Mais faut pas aller trop vite
(non-non-non) Ni trop lentement

Aller d'l'avant
Suivre un plan
Mais ou est ce plan?
C'est une interesection

Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète

Mais qui va faire briller
La planète
J'sais pas trop s'qu'on va faire
Mais y faut pas tourner, en rond

Faut bouger
Faut changer
Faut la faire briller
Pour évoluer

Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète
Tourne tourne la planète

Voici le lien direct pour cette nouvelle composition:

Just to give some updates as I am trying to finish my new web site (http://djfyb.net). For now, the actual version is very simple but the new version, developed with Adobe Flex and Adobe ColdFusion will enhance a lot the site with more information about myself and my songs.

I created a new song which is call Sysmatic and it's part of the album We Like You. This song was created in influence with the 42nd birthday of one of my best friends and neighboor.

Happy listening!

As I posted this version on Purevolume.com and Virb.com and received few positive comments about it, I decided to post it here, on MP3.com. This version is the same than My Hero (Instrumental version) except that it has my own voice on it.

I have the pleasure to present my new composition: Likeness. This song is destinated to the album We Like You.

Originally, the started this song to be 'Transmutation', the third track of the album Vock's where the song is linked to the story and I did not like the way this - Likeness - song was going to with the rythmn. Not that I do not like the song itself but it was not fitting the roleof 'Transmutation'.Since I finally created the new song 'Transmutation' as I wanted, Likeness has been finished and named.

Have a nice listening!
