Sound design is the foundation that brings a track to life, shaping its atmosphere, energy, and emotional impact. This is especially true in organic house music, where the texture and vibe of the music is as important as its melodies, grooves, and impact. Sinca is a perfect example of an artist who is a complete wizard at making heartstring-pulling club music that hits hard on big systems just as much as her music and its melodies linger with you long after she’s mixed into another banger in one of her DJ sets. With releases on labels like Anjunadeep, All Day I Dream, and XYZ, her unique take on one of today’s hottest dance music genres has brought her millions of streams and one of the fastest-rising careers in underground club music today… The post Sound design in organic house: Sinca shares the creative magic of Massive first appeared on Native Instruments Blog.

Something is rotten in the state of dance; clubs are closing left, right & centre, the record industry can't seem to find the next big thing, and even Ibiza is feeling the pinch. Meanwhile, the freedom to dance that was a vital part of rave culture has been replaced by all-nighters sponsored by mobile phone companies. Has the dance music bubble burst? Have corporate clubs killed the spirit of dance music? Is dance music dead........What do you think and if you say it's dead, what do you think the reasons are for it?

I gather some of us on here are DJ's - whats everyones style? Rather than just meeting up and clubbin together why dont we organise a clubtheworld night somewhere, makes sense? Me, well im into House / Garage / Hardhouse / Retro / OldSkool / D&B / Trance all sorts i like to keep an open mind, plus it means i can pretty much work anywhere - versatility is the key Also what makes a DJ Unique - well i try to make my sets unique, take for example David Morales, this guy deserves respect, saw him at the mint club a while back, learned a few things. When im playin i try to work with the crowd as much as possible the main trick i find is to take plenty of Accapella's - this way i can drop one over the top and really screw peoples heads up, hard as it is to do its well worth masterin - anyone else?
