This Session is the Part 1/4 of ICEMOON IBIZA RMX 2010.

Thursday was the Session Night @ L'INCONTOURNABLE Lounge Club in Geneva, above 4h of House Deep Dance Progressive Underground Vocals and Some Electro. When I have reach the club and installed my Equipment I realized that I have forget my charger for my Notebook, after a 30min drama stress Mark had a charger that saved my gig on the Numark NS7/FX, is a great machine was my first Live gig with this Unit and I must say I am satisfied, less with my Notebook hehe, the instability of the Laptop crash sometimes during the Session but it can happen ;) Next time will be better with the original charger hehe ;)



Was great to have done this gig at L'INCONTOURNABLE, Ambient was very great and the people awesome, all the personal and the guests everybody makes you very welcome in this Lounge Club. I recommend.

Of course After Party to celebrate this Success full event was naturally engaged ;) But for more information you should be present ;)

L'Incontournable was the Lounge Bar Club that Mark “O” Mariotti had he's gig Thursday, Septembre 16th. Was a really great set and Mark now Mix on Traktor and external devices ;) Who would believe this without seeing it ? ;)*



I have bin Introduced to JayDee (Plastic Dreams) a very good friend of Mark”O” Mariotti, we have talk about music and become nice friends, also a nice trip with my stuff here ^^ and Mark appreciated the new produced Tracks, of course this still a Album version. Mark's favorite is “Pursuance” and he told me there is lots of content to work on remixes. More information will follow.



After Mark's gig we have had a visit to the JAVACLUB for the 5th Anniversary of the Disco, with Luciano on the Mix there was over 1000 or 2000 people in that party, crazy awesome people, greatest ambiance and music the finest. Mark introduce me to lots of people and I also have retrieve old friends all over this Jungle styled of JAVACLUB in Geneva. After that the party continue with After of course till midday lol. However I am booked for “L'Incontournable” in Geneva the Thursday, September 23.

Thursday, with a hard time to leave India I finally took the Plane back... I really loved it. The cure was done I have sleep the all trip anyway ,) .. I just realize.. I go to India and come back to Europe with a Chess Game lol .. I cud really take my time for shopping ^^ I was that concentrated in my Productions lol ^^



Days Past here in Europe and I feel Something have change in me since I am back... This was my best experience ever in my life. I am missing my words to explain my self in my own diary. I have a hard time to adapt my life style back to Switzerland, my mind still in India. Is time to adapt to these changes and back to the System in Switzerland and get to the next step of the Project.



Tuesday the 7th I have meet “Mirco Cibin” aka Mirco “Manys” (Art Director of  Traxx.fm Radio ), was a great meeting and our collaboration will continue in the future. (More information will follow soon.)



Friday the 10th was more a Family day and had some Friends home, they really appreciated the Production, Specially a Specific Track ;)*



Wednesday the 15th September I have received some new Devices/Equipment here and I am passing da fuck out ;) Soon on the Club with them make the crowd bouncing ,)

Hanging around at the new Studios, the ambient is really relaxed and creativity growing any moment I spend in India. The Days past and “Instinct” take form, but I am feeling dreamy and take my time to Compose this Track. In some short details the Orientation and Coordination of the cords was what I work on these days with Lovv. Friday we was supposed to Mix “Instinct” with Khussh but there I still have a doubt about the Cords. The Composition of the Production of this Track was Corrected and Mixed Tuesday but it still Incomplete ;)



We had a Visit on Sunday to the “Fuga Night Club” in Bangalore and make some nice contacts, the ambient was great and the Music awesome. We are planning to Make an event in this Night Club.



The 2dn September approach and is time to “make a break” and leave to reach  back Switzerland and continue the AlphaProject™ to the next step. All good things have a end but the return to India is already scheduled.

Two Full moons have past since I a have reach Bangalore to Produce, I feel really a good satisfaction about this experience.



After reorganization of the next steps of future Productions, next steps for the next 6 months of the Project and general Artwork related, I have start the Production of the 6th Track “Primitive” but this Artwork will be finish after my return to India. I fell I need a break to get some fresh creativity.



Off Day for Tuesday, was quite tranquil day, was needing some sleep ,) but Wednesday in the Evening we have meet all together with, Lovv, Khussh & Chris finally all together to discuss about eventually future projects. This is just a beginning of a big and long adventure.



Thursday early in the morning around 2am I was “Walking in the Full Moon night, the rain fails and my mood grooves”  lost in my thoughts...looking for “An Interpretation of Understanding”.. My times in India, my greatest Experience ever in my life.

Saturday was a Day of Contracts and Planning the future Productions. I have sign a contract with Lovv Mehta, he is my Co-Producer and Co-Composer Officially for AlphaProject™. Khussh Mehta sign also a contract as my Sound Engineer (Mix/Mastering) with the same conditions for AlphaProject™. ICEMOON RECORDS® & YellowNGreen Media Studios® forge the pact in a Long term Production Collaboration in the future.



Later in the night of Saturday hunting the beat of course as usual ;) Growing the Artwork of “Instinct” in Bangalore we are very proud of our performances. I try hold my comments but this track is Original and Unique again as all this 5 Productions during this 2 months.



There is a good Chinese Restaurant in Bangalore in Koramangola or something.. omj me and names..forget the name of the restaurant ^^ .. how ever there was the Party of our Celebration of our Teamwork.



I took my time to enjoy India Sunday and get some rest, get some new inspiration. My Head is somewhere in the 6th Track.



Looks like my satisfaction is happy with the progression of the AlphaProject™. I will take my time to compose the next track and give Lovv some time to produce some new bass from the “Roland V-Synth” and the “Roland SH-201” but there is another he is hunting to create some new sounds ;)

Tuesday, August 17th was just the start of four days of peace of mind and perfect Collaboration between the Artists at the Studio. “Pursuance” is Mixed and ready for Mastering. Awesome teamwork again on this Production.

After a long talk with Lovv Mehta aka RayNBrotherhood, We have plan a bit the future, We ensure a long term Professional Relation and Work for what we love.. “It's All About Music”



Wednesday, August 18th I meet Chris Avi a good Friend and also and introduced him my actually Artwork of AlphaProject™ and discuss future subjects like BetaProject™ (more information coming soon..) he cud not stop from Jam with these tracks ;) He's favorite is “Influence”. With Chris we have visit the Club 56 and had a very good dinner there, specially the Whiskey was again very very... how can I say.. hicks.!? ;)



Thursday, August 19th and Friday, August 20th was the details and clean up for “Elements” in Collaboration with Khussh Mehta (Sound Engineer). Progress also with Lovv as usual, till Saturday night August the 20th we have work on the 5th track..  “instinct” is finally the 5th song called.



I have here a 10min sound production from “my deepest instinctively sens” of funky grooves. The only way to understand it, is listen to it, enjoy that Dream Funky Dance Tribal Electro Beats and House Grooves.



“Know your self, help's judge your next”

A new atmosphere forging a good production and successful Collaboration just started with YellowNGreen Media. The team structure:

Nelson Branco: Author, Composer, Producer and Live DeeJay

Lovv Mehta as Co-Composer, Co-Producer and Live Key Player

Khussh Mehta as Sound Engineer, our Mix & Master Specialist



Now everybody understand when I talk about “we” what I mean all about.



We did in these two pasted days, some modifications and upgrades from “Influence” layers according to the new Sound Monitoring System from Adams A5, the Mix of “Influence” is done. The track is ready for Mastering.

With Lovv we have rework “Old School Frequency” and Khussh did mix it. This Mix work is the signature of a genius...

Planned “Pursuance” final touches only. “Elements” Pads, Re-leveling, clean-up, this Track is ready for the Mix.



...our breaks spended on chess games and hearing Dr. Dr 2001 he he..



“We work for something better, that's why we are together”
