Hardcore Producer
Phenex
Hardcore producer Phenex grew up in Sweden and Germany with an avid interest in hardcore. He started producing hardcore with a great passion, initially releasing his songs on the internet in an attempt to reach out to people all over the world. In 2008, he (together with vocalist Le Kat) released "So Naive" for free, which grew popular over night, and as a result securing himself a spot on Nukleuz' "Hardcore Nation" album series. Supported by major hardcore producers, DJs and label owners, he has since come to be featured on the "Hardcore Underground" album series and with a list of strong upcoming releases is actively pushing new talent from Sweden, making sure that the land of the midnight sun takes its place in the wider scene.

I’m going to write this workflow starting from the point where you have an acapella and want to create a track around it. You can apply any of these techniques in your own original tracks and in acapellas that you got off your mates/colleagues.

The shirts will again only be available in black, but this time the logo is outline only, and printed in high quality white (which looks awesome under UV / blacklights). Stock is very limited and as last time we expect these to sell out very quickly.

Introduction
Today I’m going to talk about books. More specifically books that I believe every producer should have in his library. All of these books are the most popular ones in their category on Amazon.com and as such, I think that’s a good indication of their quality, which is why I’ve included them here. The books covered are as follows:
- The Dance Music Manual: Tools, Toys and Techniques
- Complete Idiot’s Guide to Music Theory
- How to Make a Noise: A Comprehensive Guide to Synthesizer Programming
- The Mixing Engineer’s Handbook
- Mastering Audio: The Art and the Science
- How to Write a Hit Song: The Complete Guide to Writing and Marketing Chart-Topping Lyrics & Music
- How to Be a Hit Songwriter: Polishing and Marketing Your Lyrics and Music
