New Tunes
It's been a while since we made a new tune,what with our busy lives. But,i have just started a new techno tune and for now i have named it 'Powerminds'. This tune as you would expect from Atomic Bass© is different and powerful. There are sounds in this tune that take you to a different place. I love it to bits. When i've finished it i will put up a sample on the web.

Atomic Bass© Gig At The Late Room. A Massive Success
We did it !!!
The gig our first ever was a massive success for all of us being ourselves Atomic Bass© ,Swine T ,Bubba's Chapel of Bliss. and my mate DJ Martin.
Myself EQUINOX 2 took to the stage alone to represent our band Atomic Bass© and the crowd were outstounding,and well up for it. We got lots of support which was the best i could ask for.
Everyone wants a CD of the music i played,which i will sort out in the near future.

But right now i have lost my voice for all the shouting last night and my limbs are like jelly for all the dancing,which has knocked out my bodies immune system. So as i type this i am full of the cold and ache all over. But what the hell it was all worth it,such was the success on the night that all sorts of promo spin offs are now possible.
And what about my mate DJ Martin. He blew the roof off with his powerful techno mix which rounded the night off nicely for me. We will be working together in the near future and things are looking good.
As for Tim Keely and Matt Kendall of New Manchester Bands ( NMB ). I personaly thought they had doubts about us,but after the sound test with the brilliant engineer Paul Beckers at the helm they knew it was going to be a good night,and they were not disappointed.
There is only one word to describe Paul Beckers.
GENIUS.
We will be working on a project with his band 'BroKen' in the near future.
There will be a new album made from the tunes played on the gig night,even though some of the tunes have already been released they have a new remixed edge to them now which the crowd loved. And i'm sure you will like it too.
As for the name?
Gig2Atomic Bass©
I hope you like it.
Here is a list of the tunes that were played at the gig.

Future Music Planning
We have been discussing what we need to do for this future gig in the summer as our equipment has not been updated for quite some time now and there are a few things that need to be sorted before we put the equipment through the grilling of a any type of gig.
Looking at the music equipment to the right of me in my room as i type has not enfused me with enthusiasm to sort it all out. But i know once i've started i will get it all into shape,and then it's just a matter of memorising what does what and at what time i want things to start and stop in some sort of order.
Luckily enough i've got my work mate John to ask for advice,as he and his band have done a few gigs so far and could well be the next big thing. And there name is?
'PORTICO'
OK it's not your usual type of name in the music circuit,but it's distinctive enough to be a piece of music history if all goes well.
Their style of music is indie ie stone roses and oasis. And the press have been pretty enthusiastic about them. So when John has time to give me all the info about them,i will publish it on the net as this is a field they have not got to grips with yet,but without doubt i'm sure there name will be all over the web when things really take off for them.

Atomic Bass©2 News Page ( March 2003 )

New Job
Well i've got a new job and all is well so far.
Surprisingly there is new and upcoming band member in our office. I will wait to see how well he ( John ) gets on before i do a full report. Nevertheless it looks like Oasis have a new challenge to face from the same city that gave birth to them as well.
The management team that looks after John may be working with us in the future,if we find any time with all this office work.

Much Better Records are looking for bands to get involved in a
pseudo-sampler for the record label.
We are opening the floor to any interested parties.
'much better records' and are looking to get bands involved from around the
country (ie Britain). We do not want to limit it to purely one geographical
area as we feel this gives the press, who are lazy to begin with, an obvious
stick to hit us with.
The theory being that if we have, say 6 bands, each can put on 1 or 2 tracks
on the sampler, with  view to releasing it around September.
What we then plan to do is do the gig share thing whereby at least two bands
on the sampler get together and play a 'launch' night in one home town and
then the following week there would be a launch night in another city. This
allows us to have numerous launch nights,
increasing sales initially and presenting ourselves to different press
pockets.

Not every band will play every gig (would be nice but probably not
practical) but it does allows us to have gig shares, along with a launch
night in each city. The bottom-line being
that our collective profiles get raised in cities and towns where we do not
know anyone at the outset.
Everyone should be in it to help themselves as much as the other guys
involved.

So what we want is anyone interested to send us 1 - 3 tunes and let us get a
listen to what
you are up too.
Please send your tunes to,
much better records
Flat 24

We are in the middle of constructing a website here:
http://www.mbrecords.co.uk

We are looking for a thread of continuity throughout the sampler but this is
going to be more a frame of mind than a common sound.
Our band are called 'viva stereo' .

Check out the website if you are interested.

If you want more info feel free to email us at vivastereo@hotmail.com

This is just the begining of it, but we have set the release date for
september

Web Space Limit
There was a bit of a mistery when i tried to upload this page to my website as it refused to appear dispite my ftp software confirming upload. So i uploaded another page,which was ok. Tried again to upload this news page but it was having non of it. Fortunately our old atomicbass.co.uk site was still online under it's origional address,and so i uploaded this news page to there and made a link from this site on the index homepage.
A quick email to the Ukonline support department and i was told that it was becuase i had used up all my allowed webspace. Fair enough so i begged for some more as it was due to modernisation that i ran out of webspace, ie the 'Streaming' technology which required a meta file for each mp3 file on our site plus the Dance Room with the rather large music file.
Fortunately my begging paid off and i have been granted 11meg to try out new technologies.
A BIG THANKS David and Neil at Ukonline.co.uk

The Dance Room|
We have created the dance room and it works perfectly.,especialy if you have Broadband on your computer.
The dance tune i have chosen for this room is 'Abstact artists' as it has the right vibe,even if it is a techno tune by origin. Well it worked for us over here.
Go visit the Dance Room and enjoy.

Email Shouts
We have received quite a few emails this year so far,and so have chosen a few to shout about.

www.meltbelt.com , I was just wondering if you had any demo/promo cd's etc
you could send me to review as it would be much appreciated, thanks, Danny

Happy New Year
We at Atomic Bass© would like to wish everyone around the world a happy new year and hope that it's a good one for all.
So what now?.
Well we will be looking for new designs for this website as it needs a music room where visitors can 'club it' and chill. As mentioned in the previous news ( December 2002 ) this will be done using 'stream' technology,but to add to that you will benefit more by using 'Broadband' as this will load the music file quickly and so you can get down a lot sooner.
Obviously the best thing about the music room will be our own tunes in full,not music bites as is available so far,and i'm sure you will enjoy the grooves to the end.
Work has already begun on this project,and we will let you know when it's ready.

Dance Room Now Ready On Test
I could not wait any longer,and so i have created the Dance Room and uploaded it for testing. So far all is working and i will leave it for a week or so on trial,but first you need to read the following to get the best out of the Dance room.

1. If you do not have broadband internet access then expect to wait a minute for the Windows media player® to start the stream. Patience now. Trust me it's worth it.
If you have Broadband then the stream will start almost immediately ( now read number 3 ).

2. Continuing with standard modem connections.
When the stream starts and the music begins to play,click on The Black Stop Square in the Windows Media Player® and wait a minute for the loading of the tune to get at least to the halfway point on the Media's Play Bar ( You will see this as a growing white line which represents the amount of music loaded into the media player ).
The reason for this is because the standard computer modem will not load the music into the media player fast enough.
If you were to let the media player start the music before the white line reached the halfway point,you will see the 'Music Play Square' ( which moves on the white line as the music plays ) go faster than the growth of the white line. And so when the Music Play Square reaches the end of the white line the music stops until there is more of the white line for the music to continue.
The white line needs to be close to the halfway point to keep well ahead of the moving square.
With the white line near to the halfway point you can now click on The Black Start Triangle in the media player and the music will play continuously to the end as the white line would be well infront to reach it's full length before the Music Play Square catches up.
Broadband internet access does not have the above delay as it should load a lot faster,so you can let it play as soon as the media player opens and starts the music.

3. Last of all for standard modems and Broadband internet access,click on the refresh logo in the webpage status bar to restart the animations and then minimise the Windows Media Player® to the Task Bar by clicking on it's symbol which looks like this one ( - )
Turn the music up and dance away. Click on the animation to enter the Dance Room

A BIG THANKS to BBC Online and the fans for supporting our tune 'Twisted Mind' still at number 3 in the online chart. http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/music/topten.shtml .
