Wanted to take a sec on Mother’s Day to acknowledge our newest members @Salters Davis and @Ezekiel Bamidele. Feel free to share something about yourselves. Hope everyone is having a great Sunday. What’s everyone working on musically? Any new mixes or productions in the works? Last night I DJed a prom on a boat. It was fun group but a VERY long day. Enjoying a peaceful day with @Nikki J .

I recorded and uploaded our first video for Intro to Logic Pro. This is intended for beginners, and will give you a solid foundation to build on.

CAN’T FINISH TRACKS? START BACKWARDS. Start with the PEAK. Not the intro. Not the build. The moment everything HITS. Stack it. All the drums. All the layers. All the ENERGY. Make it KNOCK. Then— go BACK. Mute. Strip. Create SPACE. That’s your intro. Your verses. Your breakdown. Not built— REVEALED. Most producers get stuck building up. This flips it. You already know the DESTINATION. Now shape the journey. This is a core shift inside OUR INTERNAL RHYTHM DJ & PRODUCER HUB by JOHNNY & NIKKI. Not just how to use Logic— but how to FINISH MUSIC. If you’re stuck in loops… this is for you.

Just added to our "So You Wanna be a DJ? " intro course. This video covers music structure for DJs. Counting Beats, Bars, and 8 Bar Phrasing. Dropping here for quick reference.
