I'm still REALLY enjoying the updates to FL Studio. I was a bit scared of the changes they made in v10 until I forced myself to work on a new project. This is more of that first tune I started on FL Studio 10 where I'm forced to see things in a different way. Within about 10 min, I was lost in this project and I was excited about the changes. It's super-valuable to have a tool you like working with. Huge thanks to those that have put their time and energy into making FL. I'm very thankful to have it.

I don't have an ETA on RJCD3 yet, but I definitely have enough fun material for it. I'm at the point where I need to keep a notebook on my desk and start keeping notes on what exactly needs to be worked on. Organization is not a natural thing for me in my production but without it, I end up going in circles without finishing stuff. HAHA

I hope your holidays are filled with fun tunes and good times. Here's some more newnew for that RJCD3. HAHA. I got ready to post this 3 hrs ago and just kept working away on it. Thanks a million for soundcloud/facebook/whatever comments on these tunes I've been posting. I read them all and I'm super-thankful for them.

A fella by the name of Patrick Watson sent me a tune he made in FL Studio and asked me to mix/master it as well as to put my style on it. I don't get to do this kind of thing much with album work happening but his tune reminded me so much of Mario Kart that I couldn't pass it up. Mario Kart puts me in a good mood so even though it took me way longer than I thought it would, it was a blast. When it was all done, Patrick renamed the track Mega Mushroom. Whatta cool guy. HAHA

The track is part of a soundtrack for an independent film called Polypore and is now available for purchase on iTunes.

I want to save the rest for CD3, but here's the start of it.. Thanks a ton for listening!!!

RJCD3: Sidetracked by ronaldjenkees

Anyways, this is a section of one of those songs, and it's the "minor" part (the way I think about major vs. minor: minor = serious, major = happy). It's very different from the other parts of the song. I'll share those soon too. Maybe I will have married the two parts by then.

This first tune is called Error Me Out. I'm going to start it in the middle of the song for this post and let it play out to the end. I'm really digging it right now - I love getting in the zone and working on this one.

The next one I want to post I threw up as a ringtone you can buy on iTunes but only got a few responses from it, so I think it needs to air out more here.

Thanks for listening and sorry for the super-delayed post!! More to come for sure.

Finally done! I'm extremely excited. I had a lot of neat things accidentally happen in some of these songs. Took longer than I thought to get out, but I'm glad it did because of the way a few of these tunes progressed over time.

The album art was done in watercolor by Kori Michele Handwerker. She's the reason I can't wait to see what the actual physical copy looks like. I'm ordering them in a matte finish. They should be really neat.

Here are some more things about the new CD I think some people might want to know:

- iTunes: It's finally up! Click this hyperlink to buy from iTunes
- Physical CD: You can now order my new CD! All pre-orders (before Sept 10th) were shipped on schedule (Sept 10th). If you live outside the US, shipping usually takes 10-14 days, sometimes less.
- Physical CD Signing: I will still be signing the CD's if you buy 2 or more, including if you buy the old+new CD.
- New MP3 Store: Starting at about 2PM today, all downloads come from a new server. That means if you buy my CD, it should download pretty fast. Yeeah!!
- MP3 quality: 320 Kbps

PS. Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the about this new CD. REALLY REALLY appreciate them.

Or click here to download in MP3 or FLAC directly from STS9. My track is second to last, but be sure to check the rest out.

This is a remix album that STS9 put together called Peaceblaster (The New Orleans Make It Right Remixes) - 100% goes charity. The STS9 collab thing I did on youtube is on this album.

Details on the charity can be found here. Basically, the sales go towards building some futuristic/green homes in some hard-hit areas of New Orleans. Katrina seems like a long time ago, but to anyone who's been there since, it's easy to see they still need help.

I think the whole album is awesome. If you like electronic music, there's a really good chance you'll dig the whole thing. Big thanks to those guys for helping a good cause and for including my collab tune on there. Too cool!!!
