The following is my submission for the remix competition currently being held by Run The Red Light. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did creating. Please take the time to share it with everyone and visit Run The Red Light's Facebook @ facebook.com/runtheredlight and let them know how much you enjoyed the On Life Support remix. With enough support they'll actually release the track!
As always send any feedback you may have my way!
Sorry this took so long to get out, it's been done for about a week but I have an evil neighbor that felt she should call the cops every time I tried to mixdown and master this track.

Remix In The Works. 3:52 PM
As we speak there are 2 new tracks being prepped for release. Starting with an electro breaks remix of The Game feat Ne-Yo - Camera Phone. The final touches to the mix down and mastering are being done before release. I would expect these out within a weeks time.
Coming up right after that is my remix submission for "Run The Red Light" competition. I'm working on an electronic remix of "In Too Far". Run The Red Light is another independent artist like myself from Canada. Their sound really caught my attention, it was like putting Mutemath and Dredg in the same studio and forcing them work together. I urge all to take a quick listen to their work @ Run The Red Light.
Stay tuned, and subscribe to my feed on the right to stay up-to-date with the latest On Life Support music.

FREE Music! 10:05 PM
Free, that's how it should always be with music. I've been feeling like such a hypocrite posting my music to sell for a profit. Two reasons, one it really limits how many people it will actually reach and spread what they hear and two, it should be free! In the past the only reason it was setup in a charging module is because it was the only effective way to monitor it's download habits.
That's no longer the case. I found a service to keep track of downloads and offer the music for free. I'm not trying to get rich quick with my music, that's far beyond my intentions. I have a great career and I love what I do for a living. Music is and has always been a passion and the only way to share that with everyone is freely! It's always been about the experience and getting as many people as possible to listen to my tracks. The Creative Commons license has come a long way and it finally fits my needs perfectly.
Now with that I'll point you in the direction of up. Up there you will see a link that says "Music". Now I hate to spoil it to everyone, but it basically leads you to where you can download my latest tracks and EP for FREE! Or you can click here. You may also use this link if you're feeling like you're in the giving mood. I mean it's the holidays and all! http://onlifesupport.bandcamp.com
Included in the free downloads is the "Read the Fine Print" EP released early last year. So what are you waiting for?!
All I ask in return is an email address, which I promise not to spam, sell or any other evil things. Just basically to keep track of who's listening and keeping you up-to-date. If you feel that to be too much of a burden there's always going to be an easy "unsubscribe" button underneath all emails. Lastly I just ask that you share this music with as many people as you can and link them back here. Like I've said before, there's no get rich quick scheme on my part, just looking for as much feedback and listens as possible.

Artist Biography 11:35 AM
Biography
As usual it started at a young age. Starting with an introduction into computers at a young age. I can remember enjoying the many games provided at the school library's computers in elementary school. Learning file structures and determining how to copy over Oregon Trail to floppy media to distribute and use in computers I may run into as I did not own one myself.
Eventually my now long-lost father got me an old Windows 3.1, 233 MHZ processor with a turbo button that over-clocked to 266 MHZ. Did I mention a 13" B&W monitor? At the same time I was introduced to Carlos Serpa. Sparked my interest and showed me everything I needed to know, the good, the bad, the legal and the free.
My name is Dannie Armas, and I play any instrument I can get my hands on. The productions I involve myself with are usually in the electro, nu skool breaks, hip hop and rock genre's, but definitely not limited to those only. As an Artist, being conscious of the many genre's and people I could potentially work with becomes a main focus. Melodies, progressions, depth and quality are most notable with On Life Support productions.
Productions are 100% independent. Artist networking is a must and I encourage any artist to contact me if there is ever an interest to produce anything together. Genres, experience, tools are not limitations. The only limitations are the audio production tools that I can afford.

A learning experience and reflection of events and favorites during the time of the production.
Artist History
Like most artist, my musical past is vague and embarrassing at times. Starting as far back as 1999, productions consisted of pre-generated loops. From 2001 to 2004 I played in many bands in high school, mostly bass for a variety of rock sub genres. During that time I began to learn different DAW's and began producing gabber and other hard styles.
Began a brief study of music theory between 2003-2006. Once that was set in stone, I started to produce different styles of music. During this time I began networking, and/or working with other artist. Artist like ThaChief a.k.a. Cuban Bread, Tom Denney previously of A Day To Remember, Edgey, Chuck Hopcraft, DJ Litespeid.
The name On Life Support for my music productions come from the driving force and the importance of music. No matter what life may bring I could always turn to music for resolve. I'm not looking for rich monetization. Any monies involved will always pay for the support of my music. For me the experience, the distribution the feedback is the most important aspect. I'm just looking to help my music reach as many ears as possible.
