i got booked for new years + dec 23

the new years jam should be a fun party, i think it's a two room warehouse kinda venue somewhere around college west, Chase set is 2:30 - 4 am. my friends from promise (cherry beach sundays) and alieninflux (harvest, boreal) full details here

dec 23 i'm playing something for my buddy capro, looks like it should be a very nice musical mashup night, check the flyer on the right.

you are what you are, and i delete you from my hard drive

there are three main things you should know:

• everyone always says that when you are in the studio, if you can, just record everything. i've always believed it, never been able to do it, until. i'll talk about the new toys later, first this.
• ok, so i'm recording everything, and i'm doing way less live dj gigs (by choice, also more about that later) and i'm just also getting less precious and anal about the mixes. i'm just some tunes.
• one of the best people in the world told me the best curse/diss i've ever heard in my life, she heard it from someone else, it goes like this: you are what you are, and you hang from my a**.

which brings us to the whole point. these are some random pieces of audio taken from the running studio track. they are what they are, i am deleting the session, here is a raw audio dump.

this links might expire, if you can't get one and you want it, let me know, i might still have it, no promises.

oh yeah the mixing sucks at points, it's slightly random, there's even points where i pickup the needle, it's just raw, and i kinda like the feel of most of it though. keep in mind that i'm deleting them and using temporary links :-). the tunes are good tho

things you should know about, now, musically

#1: mike shannon f. anais + more --> possible conclusions to stories that never end - lp - scape records, germany

if i really have to call this something besides good music, it gets hard. some people are calling this mike shannon's "experimental" or "downtempo" lp. i guess given that he's better known for more driving/gritty/dirty techno (or so i hear, haven't actually heard much/any of it), i guess that label might make sense.

what i do know is that this is a labour of love, sweat, tears, and excess stomach acid, involving mike shannon and a few other people, including one of my favorite people in the whole world. it's kinda breaky/glitchy/downtempo/jazzy/interesting music. more details here

#2 - black market & subtrac present dillinja & lemon d (valve) + skream (tempa) @ wallace studios 258 wallace ave

friends of mine that know bass are doing this. wallace studios, from what i hear, bears a slight reslemblance to a concrete room underground with lots of bass. dillinja and lemon d are drum'n'bass artists/producers with a fine appreciation of bass, skream is a dubstep guy. i don't know about you, but i'm excited about a concrete room undergroun full of bass with some serious badman flexing in a drum'n'bass and dubstep style. if that sounds good to you don't miss it. and bring your earplugs.
