FMF - The Late Edition

Rough week on all fronts. Serious malfunction in my ability to control walking into things, the constant attack of the Exorcist flies, and my stump/foot being able to still kick chairs and walls.

But you like Dirty House duo Twocker? Know them for their expansive list of kick ass remixes? Well you should.

The first of many sets,

Twocker - Blow Media Radio Mix << RIGHT CLICK SAVE AS

The Presets

One of those niche tunes that just fits so well with bass heavy electro music. Have been hearing it in a few sets we've posted.

EDIT: This one: Richie Panic - An Amazingly Lifelike Companion (right click, save as), and LA Riots - The Crystal Method Radio Show (download link).

The Presets - My People

Friday Night - Calvin Harris @ Circa

If you're in Toronto - Calvin Harris playing a DJ set, but this man mingles with the best producers, lyricists and DJs all over the globe. Expect him to bring nothing short of amazing, and what I will assume will be a mix of heavy-hitters and unreleased cuts and presses. Maybe he'll get to pick up the mic?


Note that my buddy Mark the Mechanic is playing the Washroom Bar. I'll credit him for bringing the new sounds to a lot of people's ears here locally. Glad he's finally playing a spot that deserves him. Play hard buddy,

Burning Man

People often ask why I haven't set aside the funds or time to do a Burning Man. Besides the constant desert sun radiating through my see-through skin and frying me inside and out, and the weeklong out-of-this-reality experience, I remain on one excuse:

Burning Man is for playas.


Situated inside the Nevada-California border, a yearly construct of individuals, ideas, art, freedom, self and group expression, massive and impressive sculpture, takes place in Black Rock City. A complete on-the-fly do-it-yourself, live-it-yourself creative city in the middle of the desert. It happens this week, annually.

Last year was perhaps the most interesting event in the time of Burning Man. In all its continued and prosperous growth it was eventual that someone would ruin the party. Burning the man early, and devastating the ritualistic glory of the community-burn, was perhaps the biggest blow to the festival's peacefull and mature attitude in all of 21 years (22 with 2008 inclusive).

"Some people were chanting, 'Let him burn, let him burn!' and some were chanting, 'Save the Man, save the Man!' " said Kyle Marx of Eugene, Ore.

In all the inclusive spirit it remained that it is within nature to be divided and together, even in idealistic cultures.

However, as much as it isn't in my body to put forth the commanding effort of a Burning Man, there is something very special that those who do attend come away with. Likend to a big meet-up of indipendant micro-movements, culminating in the burning of a giant wooden structure, Burning Man remains a great impression of individuality and culture.

There are no rules about how one must behave or express oneself at this event (save the rules that serve to protect the health, safety, and experience of the community at large); rather, it is up to each participant to decide how they will contribute and what they will give to this community. The event takes place on an ancient lakebed, known as the playa.

Dizzee Rascal

East London UK Garage and Rap artist Dizzee Rascal is witty, current and grimey. 'Nuff said. His style has progressed and emerged from the London underground as a worldly inhibitor of great street music. Production value is on the same page as any world-class citizen rapper. Ground-breaking and enough cuts behind him, a 22 year old Dizzee released an impressive third album, Maths and English in the second half of 2007.
