Nah, you know I'm kidding right? I'll get it for free as a DJ, but I'm gonna still buy it to support good music. So should you.

To preview the album you can go here.

Some crazy French site or something. Anyways, enjoy...

LPre.

I'm Back...

Wow. What a trip... westcoast to eastcoast... it was a lot of fun. For my NY pics click here and for my LA pics click here.

So much to say, so many stories... but I'll try and hit the main points...

The BumSquad DJ'z retreat in LA was great... got to hang with my boy Latin Prince, and met his friend Philly from Croatia. good peoples. Also hung around the Universal office down in Santa Monica... shouts to Dreezy and Justin who hold it down for me when I'm there. Oh yeah, they alway laugh cuz I get excited to raid their corporate fridge which is stocked with cherry coke and other drinks for their staff and guests. pretty nice eh?

Well the highlights of the LA trip were meeting Nicole from the Pussy Cat Dolls, Common, the yacht party sponsored by Interscope Records, seeing all the crew from the Squad, meeting Scott Storch, bumping into the Roc down in Malibu, meeting Papoose, and hanging with my boy Ru who took me to one of his studio sessions while I was in town. Good looking out...

Oh yeah, we also got to see an exclusive early preview of Rush Hour 3... pretty funny.. Chris Tucker stole the show in my opinion..

As for NY, well... it was my first time, and it was pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.. got to meet alot of very cool people, producers from around the world, Felisha from Dynamic Producer, my boy DJ Swivel who took me to a studio session in the Desert Storm offices where he engineers for the likes of Fabolous, etc.. also met Just Blaze, who was a really cool, humble cat despite all his major success... and of course checked out all the major tourist sites, which didn't disappoint ... the empire state building, central park, WTC area, Times Square, Apollo Theatre, wall street, fifth avenue, etc.

Also shouts to Chris at Boilin Pot Entertainment for taking me around Harlem and inviting me to a video shoot out there. I'm looking fwd to seeing it and will post it up when it's done for y'all to see. I was kinda tipsy off the grey goose, so hopefully I'm not acting too much a fool..haha

Oh yeah, I'm a big Seinfeld junkie so I also checked out the diner and the soup kitchen which they based theirs on in the show.

However, the main highlight was getting a round of applause at the conference I was at when they played a mountain dew commercial I scored for one of the panels. It feels good when people acknowledge your work like that. Also, having the A&R for Ludacris' label DTP saying he was feeling my tracks was good too.

Other than that, it's back to the grind. also, this week check out the new Remix for Sean Kingston feat Pitbull produced by yours truly. You can read about it and listen to it here from the good folks over at Hip Hop Ruckus: http://hiphopruckus.blogspot.com/2007/08/remix-sean-kingston-beautiful-girls.html


All for now...

LP

LA 2 NY

It's just after 12am here on the westcoast and I have to get up in 4 hrs to catch my flight...but I didnt want to hear my boy Justin say "update your blog mannnnn.... people wanna know"... so JP, this one's for you.

I'm off to LA this week for the BumSquad DJ reunion. Last year was pretty crazy... hanging out at the Universal Records office, having the best sushi EVER, meeting The Game, Daz, Lupe Fiasco, and running into Snoop Dogg at a house party. So I have high expectations for this year.. but I think it's gonna be off to a good start as we are supposed to be attending the Hollywood premiere of Rush Hour 3. Sweet...

After that week, it's off to NYC to hang out with some fellow producers and hopefully check out a bit of the city. It's funny because I'm there mainly for business but everyone is giving me their wish list for presents... yep, even my mom is hitting me up...it's all about the shopping I guess... lol

Anyways, here's a few pics from this week... the first one is myself and Charz (from Sketch Bros.) performing at the BC Lions (CFL) pre-game show. The second one is me DJ'ing at the Puma Clothing store here in Vancouver, BC. Thanks for the free shoes & hoody guys.

Ok, time for bed. I hope they have good snacks on the plane.

Yoo...

It's been a minute since the last update..but that's a good thing I guess... it means things are staying busy. So what have I been up to?

Well.. I was asked to submit a remix for a new artist signed to Universal Canada by the name of Roz Bell. It's radically different than the original so I don't know if they'll use it or not, but here's a link for you to check it out. So far the feedback's been good... Let me know what you think . http://www.zshare.net/audio/255231024ba541/

Also, just about finished a new remix for Sean Kingston's 'beautiful girls' song. I kept it upbeat and added in some serious drums and low end for the clubs. I think the DJ's are going like it. I think you will too.... i'll post it up when it's finished.

Other than that I'm off to LA at month end for the BumSquad DJ's family reunion. Last year was alot of fun... and this year I heard something about a yacht party. Crazy.

Right after that I'm thinking of attending a producers conference in NYC...but I need to work out the details still, as the Power Summit is just down the road in October, and I need to decide if I should hit one or both. Time to sell some more tracks!


Until next time...

Worldwide.

Ah, my second installment. Today I'll let you in on a secret...

Ok, it's not TV-scandalous or anything, but every so often I like to google myself. Why? Just to see what is being written, reviews, links to my sites, etc. It's like a measurement of who's paying attention to my music. So far so good...lol

Anyways todays title is because I was quite shocked to see one of my remixes (Beyonce's Ring the Alarm feat. Pitbull) had been released not once, but twice.. without me even knowing about it. Now, I'm cool with out getting any loot, cuz hey its free exposure and I really dont own the rights to the song anyways...but it would have been nice to at least know about it, and get a free copy or two ya' know?!

So the first one was pressed up on vinyl and released in Europe... I think UK and Germany from what I can tell... it's on a compilation called 'Asiatic Flavaz vol.4' Here's the cover:

The second one was released on a dance CD in Russia. It's called 'Party Up'. Here's the cover:

It's good to know my music is travelling around the world...

Welcome.

Ok, I'm sure everyone starts off the first blog entry the same. So, lets avoid that... actually I guess I just mentioned it's my first entry so there goes that idea... ha

Well, in that case let's summarize the year so far..

Some songs I produced in '06 have started to finally come out and get released, which is nice... including Shadez "It's Alright" feat Rob James who you may know from Canadian Idol. If you want to check it out, go here http://www.livingprecision.com/ and it's under the music section.

Hmm.. what else... did some volunteering again with the Canadian Cancer Society in May... that is always fun... and it's a great cause. You can check them out here if you're interested in helping out- http://www.cancer.ca/ Also started working a bit with Big Brothers.. another exceptional organization. If you've ever thought about volunteering or helping out, definitely give them a call. I find it very rewarding... and kids have an amazing way of keeping you humble.. lol

Also did a show with Sketch Bros in May at AuBar.. DJ'ing for them is always a good time...

My Dad came up from London to visit for a while too, so May was a really good month... I also went to Costa Rica with my roomate Kevin.. and that was incredible... friendly people, amazing natural sights, and of course beautiful women... not to mention the surfing too.. it was a great experience... I'm hooked! I have a few pics up from the trip in my facebook... not sure how to link it, but you can look me up under my alias... Jaie Kendale

So far June is shaping up to be pretty good too... I released a remix for R.Kelly's "I'm a Flirt", and the feedback has been very positive. It's also on my music page available at http://www.livingprecision.com/

So I'll end this first edition of my blog by showing you a pic of the latest keyboard I picked up for my studio. It's pretty old-school by todays standards, but it was a classic back in the early eighties and used by bands such as depeche mode, the cure, and a bunch of others. It is the Yamaha DX7... And if I've done this right, you should see a pic below :)
