Nothing is ever safe in the volatile streets of Old Tokyo, and more specially – no one. Raven is gone, and Red is alone, but not without cause. Scandroid will live on. They cannot take that from him. He will bring the New Retro sound of the distant past to the furthest reaches, and eventually to the floating mega-city Neo-Tokyo. Until then, awash in the glow of the neon signs, Red walks these “Empty Streets” alone.

In June 2013 The Music Ninja and Celldweller paired up for an entire month of features surrounding the groundbreaking artist. The “Resident Artist” feature included features such as “Celldweller’s Top 5 Songs Right Now,” “How Celldweller’s persistence paid off,” “Celebrating 10 years of Celldweller,” “Dwelling with Celldweller” and much more. This unique piece gave readers an insight into Celldweller throughout the entire month.
Here’s an excerpt from the “How Celldweller’s persistence paid off” interview:
TMN: As a musician who has been in the industry for a few pretty years, what would be the best advice you could give to artists out there trying to make it, young or old, what would you sit down and tell them to help them achieve their goals?
K: Exactly what I’ve already said – PERSIST! The only reason I’m here today is because I was too dumb or stubborn to quit the many times that I was told to or circumstance probably suggested. Today more than ever, you’re not going to get a “major record deal.’ WTF even is a major record deal anyway? Hard work, determination and a little bit of skill will get you all the way.

ArtistDirect teamed up with FiXT founder and electronic rock mastermind Celldweller to premiere “Behind The Scenes Part VI,” the sixth installment of the video series celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Celldweller. In this video, Klayton of Celldweller discusses his thought process in choosing to cover the Bee Gees track “Tragedy.”
Maggie Pannacione from ArtistDirect had this to say about “Behind The Scenes Part VI”:
He didn’t care about the rock vs. disco genre battles and covered this track…because he wanted to! Covering the Bee Gees is so uncool that it actually is cool.
