The Yamaha HS8 and KRK Rokit 8 are quite possibly the two most popular speakers when it comes to bedroom studios, therefore; we thought a little opinion piece and comparison may be in order. This post absolutely is not about the specifications between each speaker - you can find those online - it is simply an opinion on which monitor system is better for your home studio and why that system is the Yamaha HS8 series.

MYT Live is a channel we came across recently with some really great content. Paul has worked with many great artists over the years and is a great artist in his own right. The channel covers some great production videos as well as long form talks with industry professionals; in this case Bushwacka!
​As well as Bushwacka! There are guys like Enamour, Rinzen and Tim Green who have all participated. Go give the channel a subscribe for more great videos.

I wanted to throw up a quick blog post which introduces North Origin. 

North Origin will be a label which mainly releases high quality Progressive house and Melodic House / Melodic Techno. We wont be getting too hung up on genres and will venture in other directions from time to time. If the music is good, we will release it.

The blog? 

The blog is going to be a hub for music production information.
Are you a music producer? Well this blog may help you. We are going to explore various topics with regards to producing electronic music. Everything from writing, producing, mixing and mastering will be covered. It will also cover all North Origin releases.

Eventually i would like 'North Origin' to branch out into other creative areas and be a place for all things music and art. Baby steps. 

If you are a producer and lean toward the progressive side of dance music then get in touch with us, we would love to hear your music. We will also be seeking out people for remix duties in future. 

Our first releases will be coming, hopefully around summer 2018. 

Until then i will be personally writing some production blog posts. 

We look forward to sharing good music with you. 

All the best, 

​North Origin.
