Fifteen or more "must listen" to Definitive Deep & Tech House productions you need to hear on Spotify

Introduction



I promised an entry on more law stuff, but because it requires a substantial amount of information and time to write, I am putting that off for another couple of weeks. Also, I "redesigned" the layout template, so that it's much "cleaner" looking! In today's brief post, I am going to be sharing the recent "collaborative" playlist that I created on Spotify. If you are a user who enjoys listening to EDM (Electronic Dance Music) and are interested in more of the "underground sound", rather then faux paux commercial stuff that is played on the radio, you will definitely appreciate this playlist. It's a blend of Deep House and Tech House. Briefly, Deep House has been around, since the early 90's and consists of usually deep resonating bassline, "soulful" vocals, shorter track lengths (on average of five minutes), and a mid-tempo BPM range around 118-122 BPM. Tech House usually complements Deep House. It's the opposite and is considered more "minimal". It uses a combination of the percussion from techno (usually short micro-tonal kick-snares) along with exotic basslines, "melodic" percussion, and lead melodies (that are usually written in a half-step minor/major key). It also has a mid-tempo BPM range around 120-123 BPM. If any of this sound exciting to you, then you will need to check out the playlist that I am putting together [1]. It will be up to you determine and decide if any of these productions have any "intrinsic" value. You might like some of them, and you might not. Let me know! Below I am going to my top five favorites from the list of about sixteen or so, that I have created. Some of these productions are new and some of them span about seven years. Enjoy!

Happy listening! I will be back next week, with a brand spankin' new entry regarding a topic my choice! That's the best part about "The Labyrinth" you never know what you are going to get! I hope everyone has a lovely work week. See you next week! Take care. ;=D.

Encoding Opus files in Linux with opusenc for your own collection and HTML 5

Introduction Hello everyone! I am finally back to writing a new blog entry, after taking a very long month off. I hope all of my U.S readers had a great Fourth of July and are enjoying the summer. Today, I am going to be discussing and showing you how to encode with the the new IETF working audio codec called "Opus". Briefly, Opus is a combination of Xiph.org "CELT" codec and Skype's "SILK" codec combined into one project. It's a low-latency audio codec that was designed with "scalability" in mind and does things "fundamentally" different, even though it should sound the same if not better in different situations for speech and music. The project was finally completed this past winter and standardized and will be used in the new WebRTC project (for video conferencing), Skype (for video calls), and other companies that wish to use it. Google is NOW (as of July 2013) incorporating it, into the next generation codebase of WebM, wh

Encoding Vorbis files in Linux using oggenc for your own music collection and HTML 5

Introduction In today's topic, I will be showing readers different ways you can encode your music collection, if you just moved over to Linux from Windows using open source codecs! You do not have to encode your music files with Vorbis, due to the fact that MP3 is also supported in Linux and HTML 5, but there are some substantial benefits to doing in this day and age (at least from the perspective of an open-source nerd 8-)). The first is you don't have to worry about royalty's and licensing rates (especially if you are opening up a store for indie musicians). The second is that both objectively and subjectively Vorbis sounds substantially better and has been greatly improved with the help of dedicated "audiophiles" and the open source community, since it's first public release over a decade ago, way back in 2002. Today, I will show you some tips and tricks if you are new to encoding your music collection in Linux using the oggenc command-line program in Li

Transcoding H.264 files to Google's WebM format (VP8/Vorbis) in FFMPEG 0.6 or better using Linux for your own collection and HTML 5

Introduction Note: I want to stress that I DO NOT CONDONE using this guide to encode movies that are infringing upon international and local copyright laws (which include the WIPO Treaty in Europe and the DMCA in the U.S). These examples ASSUME your encoding material in which you OWN The RIGHTS too! I will not be held responsible for individuals that are using it to encode copyrighted material in those respective countries! If there are disputes about this or any other questions please DO NOT hesitate to contact me right away! Thank you. This week I am going to focus on showing you how to transcode videos to WebM, which is playable in both VLC and most HTML 5 compatible web browsers including Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and I.E 10! If you recall way back several months ago (if you had been following my old blog) I showed you some code snippets for how to encode directly to WebM using an older version of libvpx 0.6.1 code named "Bali", that came out last year, but has since be
