1. Blurring the Lines
......................
Back when radio stations spun vinyl, popular records were physically
"played out." To find the beginning of a song, DJs pulled the vinyl
backwards and forwards under the needle, scrubbing the sound right off
the track. The first few seconds of a song would be marred by static.
They called the phenomenon "cue burn."
When Michael Donaldson became a DJ, he called himself Q-Burns Abstract
Message. He's been living up to the name ever since. The DJ/producer is
prolific, spinning vinyl and cranking out remixes almost nonstop,
carving his own groove into the dance music scene. He has toured with
Fatboy Slim, Josh Wink, Chemical Brothers, Gus Gus, and Lo Fidelity
All-Stars. He's remixed tracks for The Supreme Beings of Leisure, Faith
No More, Rabbit In The Moon, and Britney Spears.
Donaldson is known for mashing the acoustic with the electric, weaving
his own guitar licks and drum fills with synthesizer beats and haunting
vocals. He uses anything to get the sound he wants--MIDI instruments,
classical guitars, 4-track tape decks, and tube amplifiers. Read how
he's added Logic Pro to the mix, using it to compose and remix tracks.
