So the other day I decided I really want to jump into graphic design. So far I have messed around learning while working on web design projects, watching Youtube tutorials on how to use photoshop, checking out font websites, and slowly grasping a broad knowledge of the subject matter. Well now I’m truly diving in head first and don’t plan on stopping any time soon. One significant reason for tackling this passion of mine is that fact my company, Atomic Pages LLC is in dire need of a web/ graphic designer. I understand I could never accomplish what I expect in a web/graphic designer, but if I can build a solid background I know I’ll be able find right person for the job. One of the keys to success in business is surrounding yourself with people who are smarter or more talented than you. So far I have found two very talented programmers, Dennis Thompson and Jackson Hines, who are the other two partners of our company. Now it’s time to find that designer with the golden touch. As for my first step I have started with one of the best blogs in the industry PSDtuts. PSDtuts, an amazing blog under the Envato network provided a perfect article to get me started: Teach Yourself Graphic Design: A Self-Study Course Outline. It is filled with endless amounts of articles that cover A to Z when it comes to graphic design. So my journey begins now. Wish me luck. In the mean time check out some graphic art I have already created while messing around on photoshop.

p.s. I will be writing articles about helpful tips I learn while I go through this process. So be on the lookout!

Yet another big name in House music, Mark Knight, has been constantly pushing out ridiculous house tunes. Easily in my top three favorite house artists, Mark, who originates from the UK, is the founder of Toolroom Records. This is a well respected record label created in 2003 and now has its own concert tour, Toolroom Knights that is filled with some of the biggest names in House. As for the song “Yalta Groove” the latter half explains the whole song. Whenever I am playing a more laid back set I will always throw this groovy tune in the mix. So turn your speakers up and enjoy!

Yes, I know this is a track that has been out for quite some time now (2009?) but I had to make a post about it. I literally play this every time I have a set and it’s guaranteed to get positive response from the crowd. Laidback luke has truly established himself in the house music world with remixes and original productions like Heartbreaker, Turbulence, Natural Disaster, Rocking with the Best, etc. He has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry including David Guetta, Steve Angello, Example, A-Trak, and the list goes on. Originally born in the Philippines, Laidback Luke (Luke van Scheppingen), originates from the Netherlands. He is making huge moves in the music game and I don’t see him stopping any time soon.
