My good friend Rana June, known around the world as the iPad DJ, introduced me to Celldweller’s music, and how we got there was an unexpected travel through various social media links. We were talking about her Twitter page @ranajune and I had clicked on her recent images since we were talking about all the events that have taken place over the past year or so.
@ranajune: This is me doing my best @celldweller35 impression
We stumbled upon this yFrog photo of Rana with hot red hair and she started laughing hysterically, telling me how she looked like her friend Celldweller. She asked if I had heard of his music, and I had not. Rana and I have nearly the same taste in music, so we searched SoundCloud and found one of his remixes for Asking Alexandria’s A Lesson Never Learned (Celldweller Remix).
The studio production on this mix was mind blowing, given the sampling, real instruments, driving bass and dubstep influence, hardcore metal sounds and voices with actual lyric. This was big and thick and something I knew I’d have to listen to 100 times to get the full scope of the production.
