Watch Point Blank’s Lead Course Developer do some ‘creative recycling’

Point Blank’s Lead Course Developer Ski Oakenfull knows Ableton Live like the back of his hand, and he’s also an avid record collector and all round music nerd. That’s why for their brand new video episode Shop ‘n’ Chop, Point Blank asked Ski to head to Vinyl Pimp in Hackney, east London.

Point Blank has had the honour of partnering with Richie Hawtin’s CNTRL Tour for 2015. They’ve been travelling across North America inspiring and educating the next generation of electronic music producers and their first stop was Berklee College of Music in Boston. They were joined by Ghostly International co-founder Matthew Dear for a production masterclass focusing on his brand new remix for Leftfield.

At Point Blank, when it comes to exclusive competitions they love to give you guys the chance to win some of the most sought-after kit. This month, you have the chance to win a mammoth Native Instruments production bundle that consists of Maschine Studio, Komplete 10 and the Komplete Kontrol S25 keyboard – plus they’re throwing in a PB course too!

Stimming is an artist looking to challenge the norm, pushing boundaries with his productions and his “live” sets. Part of Solomun’s DIYnamic crew, he's made his fair share of modern dancefloor bombs for Freerange, Buzzin' Fly, Pampa and Green — everything from the alternately bleepy and soulful 'Radar' alongside H.O.S.H to the lush, abstract house of 'China Tree'.

One of the biggest records in recent years, Disclosure’s ‘Latch’ not only broke the duo in the US but launched the career of Sam Smith in the process. With an astonishing 35 million plays on SoundCloud alone, Disclosure combine garage and house influences with their unmistakable pop sensibilities. With interesting chords throughout and unique synth sounds, Point Blank enlisted their resident deconstructor Ski Oakenfull to tackle the track using Ableton Live for their latest Friday Forum Live! 

Point Blank’s brand new Trance / EDM module is up and running and to celebrate they’ve got a brand new tutorial series led by module instructor, and trance legend in his own right, Mike Koglin (Armada Music, Anjunabeats, Ministry of Sound). Using his latest release ‘Kosmonaut’ on Perfecto Black (already supported by Above & Beyond, Markus Schulz and Paul Oakenfold) Mike breaks down the mix to show you how he produced the track.
