Died your arms - Stranger Remix

Stranger Things series really made an impact on me, and not least because of the soundtrack. And this sound inspired me to make a remix in style of Stranger Things, more or less so. So I turned the guitar filled 80's hit by Cutting Crew into a more synth driven version. Enjoy!

Keys to my Bimma

Seems like Beenie man references neva go outta style!

(Oi) You Need To Hold It Down!

HennyMan strikes again!

A take on the summer sound of 2016, a struggle between techno and house with some tribal feels (as always with HennyMan). An to spice it up, a little UK twist (Streets vox sampled). Not being a true conoisseur of genre I label it as tech house. Enjoy.

Best Content Marketing

Everyone talks about content marketing but many seem to miss the whole point. You need to have content that is relevant and excites your (potential) customers. No boring or dull stuff. And content should not be (just) about your product, but about something that is interesting and in some context with your brand. LANDR is my favourite example of a brand that does it really well.

LANDR is a company that has a online audio mastering service. Ideal solution for musicians who are not yet pro, but would appreciate to have their music mastered well. A cool service, I suppose.

But what they have done is a blog that has content that is useful and relevant when it comes to recording and making your own music. Tips, hints and reviews may not be a new thing, btu they have just done this really well.

You should follow them now!

Papier-mâché Mountain

90's is back! Remember "Acid Jazz" and the groovy instrumental hip hop tracks? Here's a brand new HennyMan track as an ode to the era.

Torcha is back!

Here is the remix of the classic Kriton track Torcha by HennyMan, released just this weekend.
The original version was released in 2008. A remastered version was made in 2010ish but this is totally a new version. Enjoy.
The best way to describe this remake is "Disco Meets Trap." Go figure.

Happy Ten Year Anniversary To Life Of Kriton

Santa, drunk santa, Jopo -bike and gay saunas of Helsinki. Those were among the first things we covered here on the Life Of Kriton ten years ago. Yes, we will celebrate a 10 year anniversary in March. Quite amazing, really. The average lifespan of blogs is hard to determine, but Technorati once quoted that 95 % of blogs will die within a couple of years.

So we're still alive. Ok, the fact is that we're barely alive, but still breathing. The reason of course is that during ten years we've seen the internet coming to and changing our daily behaviour; microblogging with Twitter, mobile and social sharing with Facebook, link sharing with Tumblr, Vlogging with Youtube, live streaming with Periscope, music sharing with Souncdloud, photo sharing with Instagram...you remember Google+??? The list goes on and on. The blogging community is bigger than ever, but the environment is different.

So we have also many other channels to contribute to and maybe we're a bit lazy as well.

After 941 published blog posts it's been cool to see 165.000 unique visits during those years. 2010 was our best year with over 30.000 visits. Interestingly the most viewed blog posts were... Well, they're about Jopos and gay saunas. These very subjects covered in 2006 still bring traffic. Thanks to Google indexing system I guess.

We will promise nothing, this could be our last blog post, maybe not.

Keep it real, homies.

Hard Copy

2016 starts with a fresh HennyMan track as it should. Take 1/4 of old disco feel, use roots sounds as the base and add some synth leads and you have Hard Copy.
