Ben Kama: Production Journal #8: Pick up the pieces

I hadn’t had a proper listen to the project since the last entry. Giving a track time before finishing it gives you a much more objective view on it since you can easily become deaf to issues in the mixdown when you listen to the thing over and o…

Ben Kama: HJM New Talent comp

Helsinki Jungle Mafia is hosting a competition for new DJ talent to get to play on their night Dec 10th. I recorded this mix at the last minute, right on the deadline. The recording started a little crazy but I quickly found a direction where I wanted …

Ben Kama: Journal Entry #7: Extended play

It’s been a really long time since I last touched this journal project. The reason for that is that I did feel the track that I was making but writing the journal at the same time was really not helping. But before I go to what drove back to work…

Ben Kama: Rinpoche / So Strange

After a few harder bits, it’s time to slow down, sit down and let the flow take you to the other end of the spectrum. After a year of wait, ‘So Strange’ (with over 71K views on Liquicity’s Youtube channel) is finally out, along …

Ben Kama: Work It Out / THAT Sound (feat. Dubba Jones)

These two bangers have been out for almost a week, but I’ve been on the road for a while so it’s a bit of a late call out. Available in your favourite download shop. Filed under: Releases Tagged: anastacia, bass, beatport, breaks, charts, d…

Ben Kama: Dreadmark guestmix

EDITOR’S NOTE: Mixtape taken down due to limited upload space. It is still up at  http://soundcloud.com/dreadmark   I’ve been lazy with the production journal but busy on other fronts. A studio mix by me, featuring one track from my n…

Ben Kama: DIY Absorber/Diffuser

I’m working in construction, and that gives me access to various surplus materials. This time I dragged home some Ecophon glass wool panels that are usually used in office environments. Glass wool is not an optimal material for home studio acoust…

Ben Kama: Ben Kama – The Switch (Octane & DLR comp entry)

Ben Kama: Journal Entry #6: Organized Chaos

Last time I left the track with an interesting paradigm. I got some good vocals running and All that was left was to start thinking about the track structure and arrangement. Where I left off last time (2:13 long clip) wasn’t going to make for a …

Ben Kama: Journal Entry #5: Hook & Line

I’ve been neglecting the production journal in the past week. I could make a million excuses but the reality is that I didn’t really like the vocal I created in the last entry and returning to the track didn’t feel good. I also took a…

Ben Kama: Ben Kama – With Me / Rooftops

A change of pace from the production journal to a finished piece – my latest single: Available on the major download stores, like for example Junodownload: http://www.junodownload.com/products/with-me/1773482-02/ Filed under: Releases Tagged: ali…

Ben Kama: Journal Entry #4: I Am Not A Machine

This series depicts the journey of a single drum and bass track from inception to finished product. I must admit it – I cheated a little. I worked on the track just a little yesterday and didn’t write about it right after. I checked out the…

Ben Kama: Journal Entry #3: Makeover

This series depicts the journey of a single drum and bass track from inception to finished product. It’s Friday (and a big midsummer fest in Finland) but I’m totally broke so I’m staying home and making some tunes. I closed the curtai…

Ben Kama: Journal Entry # 2: The Beat Generation

This series depicts the journey of a single drum and bass track from inception to finished product. I was keen to continue from the simple bassline I made earlier but haven’t really had time to open FL Studio after the last time. So now when I ha…

Ben Kama: Journal Entry #1: The pain of creation

This series depicts the journey of a single drum and bass track from inception to finished product. During my last 2 hours at the construction site I was really distracted from my work because I was so excited about the idea of creating something like …

Ben Kama: Ben Kama – Work It Out

L.A.O.S. got the great honour of doing a guest mix for BBC 1′s own Annie Nightingale. They included this new track of mine to the mix, check it out – for now just a short clip extracted from the mix. The track is still in dubplate phase and…

Ben Kama: Mash Up @ Ilokivi, Jyväskylä 14.5.2011

I will be playing in Mash Up 2011 on the 14th of May. It will be my second DJ gig, and the first ever in a venue with a proper dancefloor. I can’t wait to get it on! Mash Up is an event organized by Efekti and Dreadmark and looks like it’s …

Ben Kama: Home Studio Tour

I haven’t posted any pictures here before, so what better way to break that habit than to introduce the place where I make the music. I tried to get the pictures to seem less clinical than what the room actually is with lighting and camera settin…
