As the 70's settled in James Brown helped defined the future of dance music, the future of groove and the future direction of black music with one single, solitary song of brilliance. If you are looking for a definition of funk Get Up, I feel Like being a Sex Machine is the quintessential anthem. With a groove so infectious you had to Dance. It set the standard for danceability, rhythmic groove, lyrical content and artistic delivery for generations to come.
But the song that rose to fame as Rap music emerged in the 80's was a little ad-lib number called out and conducted on the fly by James Brown - that song is the legendary "Funky Drummer." This song was the quintessential Brown number from the middle of the deconstructionist funk playbook. It was live, danceable and well, shall we say, very funky. The break in the middle of the song where James gives the drummer some [Clyde Stubblefield] is so great a superlative that it literally launched the Rap genre when the samplist of the 1980's got hold of it. The loop appeared on literally hundreds of recordings for such luminaries as Public Enemy, LL Cool J, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, NWA, Eric B & Rahim, Beastie Boys, Ice-T, TLC, Run-DMC, Mobb Deep, George Michael, Prince, Melissa Ethridge and many others.
Clyde will will make his first New York appearance in years at The IMSTA FESTA at SAE Institute. Clyde will be signing autographs and be featured on a panel moderated by Hip-Hop legend Marley Marl. Don't miss this once in a lifetime event to meet a true legend of music.

However, there are lots of other big new features we have not shown and I will be showing a lot of those as well!
Q. Will you have any VIPs coming down to your room at IMSTA FESTA?
We are planning on it, however at this time I have not confirmed any artists just yet!
Q. Would you have any prizes, contests for attendees?
There will be T-shirts and perhaps even some Refills - you gotta visit our room to find out exactly.
Q. What does IMSTA mean to you James?
In my personal opinion, using cracked software is the same as walking into a music store and stealing a piece of hardware. If more people would understand that it takes just as much time, effort, energy, money for a company to create a professional musical software program as it does hardware (sometimes ever more!), they might think differently about using cracked versions. If the people who make that software do not get any sort of compensation for the work they do to make the software you love to use... it could disappear.
Thank you James and Propellerhead Software for joining us at IMSTA FESTA.
With more than 3000 SSL-equipped studios and facilities operational today, the excellence of SSL consoles is universally recognised for unrivalled sonic quality, superb ergonomics, outstanding automation and an international support infrastructure second to none.

The Steinberg Media Room at IMSTA FESTA
We talked to Brian McGovern and Alan Macpherson
One of the exhibiting companies at IMSTA FESTA is Steinberg Media. We had the pleasure to have a quick interview with Steinberg North America's Marketing manager, Brian McGovern and its Director of Marketing, Alan Macpherson.
Q. Are you as excited about IMSTA FESTA as we are?
Alan: Yes, we feel that IMSTA FESTA is the right vehicle to not only ensure that the message of buying the software you use remains in the spotlight, but that members are able to show their product to pros, semi-pros and other interested consumers out there in the Big Apple.
Q. What will you be showing there?
Brian: We will be demonstrating Cubase 5, the new HALion Sonic workstation virtual instrument, the CI Series and the MR816 Series audio interfaces, and the CC121 controller.
Q. Could you please tell us a bit about the main features of Cubase 5 and the New Halion?
Brian: Cubase 5 is the latest generation of Steinberg's groundbreaking Advanced Music Production System with innovative pitch correction, audio/MIDI plug-ins and beat creation tools. Steinberg's NEW HALion Sonic is the perfect workstation virtual instrument with over 1,000 sounds, 16 part multi-timbral operation and it includes numerous arpeggios.
Q. Will you have any contests, prizes, or giveaways?
Brian: Steinberg will be contributing products to the prize pools which will be given away to the first, second, and third place winners of the Song Competition at IMSTA FESTA.
Q. What does IMSTA mean to Steinberg and why did you join IMSTA?
Alan: I believe that IMSTA's core educational direction – one that favors consumer education over punitive measures - makes it a noble cause and highly worthy of Steinberg's support.
Thank you gentlemen for taking the time from your busy schedules to participate in this interview.

CLYDE STUBBLEFIELD
Clyde Stubblefield is the very foundation of Hip Hop with his timeless feel and magical touch he performed what has become the most samples music in history "The Funky Drummer." Clyde joined James Brown's band in the mid 60's and played on such classics as Cold Sweat and I Got The Feeling.

As the 70's settled in James Brown helped defined the future of dance music, the future of groove and the future direction of black music with one single, solitary song of brilliance. If you are looking for a definition of funk Get Up, I feel Like being a Sex Machine is the quintessential anthem. With a groove so infectious you had to Dance. It set the standard for danceability, rhythmic groove, lyrical content and artistic delivery for generations to come.
