translated music V.2.0

In late 2004 I had an idea for a music team or group of individuals where we would collaborate on a set goal or project--while at the same time producing each one's individual musical style and taste--and all come together and publish them on a website. While things never really got off the ground for a bit, things started coming together about 7 months later. I had a bit of music I wanted to circulate and make public, so I started working on a website. In May of 2005 I had the opportunity to DJ at a venue called Wordstock, and I decided to create my first mix album as a DJ/Producer. (I then later published this CD and it's now the first album of the Translated Music Group and features tracks from a few of the original members.) I then realized that this idea for a group could become a reality and began formulating a plan on how to get it going.

I first got a couple folks I knew who had done some music projects in the past and asked them if they wanted to join. I then went on to contact AudioGuru and Jays, two guys I felt had not only a unique style but music that totally stood above the crowd. I asked them if they wanted to contribute, and

be a part of this 'team'. They were great in hearing me out, and eventually agreed to be a part of my big idea. (Besides already being involved in bands themselves, they are full-time volunteers working abroad so I am extremely thankful for any time they are able to put into making my dream a reality. )

So, by the end of 2005 we had 6 members total. After launching the Translated V.1 site in 2006, we had tremendous amount of support and I kindly appreciate all of you who had in the past, visited the site for news, updates, new songs and so on. In August of 2006 we completed our first official album, Horizon. This for me was a dream come true and it was a success.

By the time 2007 rolled around we had all become very busy and for me, Translated Music fell somewhat in the cracks and got lost for a time. I was working during the first part of the year on a very urgent project that demanded extreme attention and I must admit that once I completed my contributions to this project I had become very exhausted mentally and creatively. I took a hiatus from producing music as I felt I needed the down time and wanted to just not think about music for a bit. PHilly[Dee] DJing at a venue, September 2006

Now, as we begin 2008 I have a renewed focus and determination to continue to produce electronica and other music in this broad genre. Our team members also have come and gone, but AudioGuru and Jays both are committed to staying with Translated Music. I am glad that we are "renewing" our website and giving our overall public appearance a restart.

I hope you also get Translated into His presence as you listen to our music. Thanks always for your support, and thank you Jesus for making it all possible. All glory to you, sweet Love.
