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 :)
