MacAngel & Bernhard in Studio 2006

~Sun, 8 October 2006 - Studio pics coming soon...
~Mon, 31 July 2006 - OK, when I arrived in Berlin, Bernhard was at the airport waiting to play chauffeur:-) Once we got to the studio I was informed that Keith Richards had hired his studio interfaces for a live recording in Italy. Superstars and/or their organisers just don't seem to have any concept of time, as the interfaces were returned 2 - 3 days LATE! This meant that Bernhard & I lost 2-3 days studio time:-( However, the GOOD NEWS is that we managed to start production... and our first track is a ReMix of a popular early 80's track... Unfortunately, I can't divulge the original track or band due to copyright & legal issues. Let's hold thumbs that once the track is 100% complete we can get permission from the original Band + Publishers so that we can release commercially...
~Mon, 31 July 2006 - Just back from Berlin & a short overseas trip. Bernhard's upgraded studio is AWESOME!!! Got tons of office work, but hope to share some news later today...
~Tues, 4 July 2006 - Guess What? I'm getting ready to visit Bernhard in Berlin! I've been working on some new material with a destinct "electro" sound and hope to start {MacAngel} #3 + another special project with Bernhard...
~Wed, 4 January 2006 - It's been a CRAZY Festive Season but 2006 is here, so HAPPY 2006 to all my loyal supporters!!! Keep watching this space for more info about the NEW {MacAngel} studio project... e-mail your questions to macangel@soundfx.co.za

Another quote after the screening of the pilot episode of Fashion House a new 'reality' series: "Hi Mac, Well the first episode opened with some very obvious & brassy title music by the show's composer and then bang, opening scene they hit us with a very fitting burst of MacAngel's - 'Bang Da Beatz' which they have incidentally used the most.
