From Calgary, the new home of RRR

You like Funk? Breaks? Steeze stature and fierce phantoms that make up this fantastic mix. Deep, punky up-beat, and a dece(nt) ratio of vocals (as they can get repetitive in Breaks and Hip-Hop) and breakdowns and transitions. And its broken into single tunes so don't have to like it all.

Old friend works a bar-rail for aprés and my roomate has a friend in the mountains for the night. Not woodland creatures, but people. Skiing is apparently reaching -30C and Calgary is -42C.

Bang It

Toronto Canada's, Mike Conradi is a dedicated DJ and local legend. He seamlessly showcases Techno, House, and Breaks, and a little Electro thrown if for the party. This latest mix features loads of Toronto producers including Jelo, the Phat Conductor, and night queen Sydney Blu.

Putting this up for the Saturday night pleasure seakers, maybe even a little after-party bumper.

Khoda

Description:
What if you watch a film and whenever you pause it, you face a painting? This idea inspired Reza Dolatabadi to make Khoda. Over 6000 paintings were painstakingly produced during two years to create a five minutes film that would meet high personal standards. Khoda is a psychological thriller; a student project which was seen as a ‘mission impossible’ by many people but eventually proved possible!

Director and art director: Reza Dolatabadi

Having a Little Fun Today

Manuel Osbourne-Paradis placed Third at Val Gardena, Italy today in FIS World Cup ski racing. The videos aren't up yet, but here is is 3rd place finish on the treacherous Lauberhown course in Wengen, Switzerland at the end of last season. The announcers are awesome.

Wonky Business!! Reprise



Another fine mix (kinda exclusive) coming from our gal Hannah Holland. It has been a big year and 2009 promises to be even BIGGER. Watch for wonky bangers on Batty Bass Records. Perfect balance between club and the underground, and still pioneering and engineering the movement each awakened day. Absolutely fabulous!

Wonky and catchy. Definately had me dancing around my room today with the mix on repeat. Something new I've been trying - really allows to leave the room and come back throughout the day and still be entertained. I'd have more to write about, but this move is draining me.

DJ Zinc Grows Farther

Under my limited intake of Jungle and Drum and Bass DJ Zinc is one artist that tops my list. Classic take on complex rythems and dedicated showcasing of the music. He's been around a while and eventhough he reigned, and might still reign, the top of the DnB DJs, his new twist in influence comes not from a funky broken-beat. But rather the 4/4 line of House music.

I'm not complaining. My tastes towards DnB have diminished over time (unless the DJ is extremely intricate and talented in his mixing and track selection.) So Zinc plays House. Or Funky, or UK Funky. Great! Keep reaching new audiences and growing with the music.

What is Funky?
It feels to me a bit like UK garage, except it’s a bit more 4/4. The UK take on house often is grittier. I guess it’s because British people have been listening to lots of reggae and jungle, so they bring those elements.

Read the Red Bull Music Academy Interview with Zinc for his view on his growth as a musician. Which it truly is: growth. Instead of staying in a stagnant situation, he furthered his approach and updated witht he music. Impressive, intriguing, and instyle.

Dance Advance

Sander van Doorn (NL) teams with Brit's Robbie Williams. What a suprising mix of two well-known artists. It is quite a good tune. The music video is alright, it definately has that Hed-Kandi commercial feel. The video itself is not released on the networks as of today, but a leak has sprung up:

Sander van Doorn and Robbie Williams - Close my Eyes



Likewise, it is a thrill to see van Doorn back in the spotlight. After his attempts at pushing off DVDJing throughout the 2007-2008 Winter season he is back to production and DJ sets. Best club-party of my life - Sander van Doorn at Rum Runners in London, Ont. Massive set, non-stop driving bass and great track selection.


Well the man who put Trance back into the spotlight with his dark twists and pings is re-championing his definitive sound. Watch for his releases. Any of you willing travel to Miami Winter Music Conference expect a showing of supreme selection and sectioning of his sets to get the crowd infused and lifted.

Sander van Doorn - Clubbin' - SlamFM LIVE on 11/29 (MegaUpload)

What an amazing mix! Trance can be iffy, but I know some out there still claim it to their heart.

What Would We Do?

Hot Chip and Wiley - What Would We Do? LIVE at Glastonbury 2008.



Suprised I found this on a CHAN forum. I only thought they knew the buzzing sound coming from their mother's clit/vibrator.


WWWD is the opening of the Glasto set by Hot Chip. Albums are great, but weave those tunes together and that is something performers and artists do. This was truly the break up of popularized techniques in marketing (MTV, YouTube) in 2008. The festival season showed these breakthrough artists in light, where the television painted them as you gotta be real cool to like this music.

Truth to say - the people who like the music do not deviate. We create.

Art can't exist without followers. But followers should know they are not apable of the full understanding of the artist. This want to know more is called intrigue. Not a trend.

a Robot Without a Lie

Well, it is officially ski season. My home-hills have opened and I am readying myself to bust out my mom's iron to wax my skis. You know, it is interesting in all sorts of minds what music does to us. And yet, one of the greatest things it does is connect us, through our different forms and ears.

In 2008, the entire year was about breakthrough artists. Blog-house took off for the beginning part of the year, for which their indie status craved the right-clicks of those fucking hipsters. We have created our own scene. Free of hipster-trend-fuckers and decidingly about the damn music we listen to. For those of you who still think illegal bootlegs are the greatest thing since sliced bread - enjoy you're sliced bread. We like ours thick, and customized, home-made, roasted in a heritage oven and served.

In the notes of mentionables would be plenty. Now is not the time to repeat, and this is certainly a special, most influencial artist who crossed the boundaries of underground rooms everywhere. The Proxy (USSR). Simplistic industrialised take on many genres. Dancing in the Dark and Decoy were purchased because of their sinister bass-attacks against all other artists (WMC, one studio, one soundboard 'production groups' essentially) at the time.

So dope I can't smoke it today.

The Proxy - In New DJs We Trust

Chemical Brothers – ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’ [Soulwax Remix]
Laven & MSO ft. Malte – ‘Reach’ [Alte Schule Acid Instrumental]
Polymorpbic – ‘Rock To Play’
Autodidakt – ‘Shit Your Rack’ [Proxy Remix]
Volatile – ‘Faces Of War’
Proxy – ‘Who Are You?’
Math Head – ‘Get Hype’
Aleem –‘Felix Yo!’[Chef Remix]
Shadow Dancer – ‘Cowbois’ [Dilemn Remix]
Math Head – ‘Turn The Music Up’ [AC Slater Remix]
Digitalism – ‘Home Zone’ [Proxy Remix]
Proxy – ‘Raven’ [Live Edit]
Medicine – ‘I’m Sick’


To be honest: the MC says it sounds like 'Drum and Bass.' I think is sounds like House with Breaks? Is that a London, Ontario thing? You decide.

YouTube Stole My Idea

for BIGGER video..

This is now a standard:
It's a clip about those damn Mormons. I'm posting it because I thought it was a parady narration over Superman the Cartoon. HA!


Always ahead of the curve here, but I tell you one thing: I watched Zeitgeist: Final Cut for the first time. Pretty true. The interest in the cosmos is essentially an early form of mind-play, likewise with horoscopes. Though I think God was nailing me extra hard this week.

Excitement of the week: Lotto Lady won a $5000 BIG Prize on a $2 Instant Scratch ticket. Best part is earning commission of $150 from two Lucky Letters - M, and O.

'MOM' was a good payback from a few down-weeks of winnings; Lotto Lady is a big-spender weekly-regular. She wants me to use it for New Years at the Elbow River Casino, which living Downtown Calgary, Alberta might make to be a nice, easy night in the new city. It's going to be wikked living close the Red Mile, the Saddledome, Calgary Stampede, and some of the best skiing in the world!


60 Hours of work left, family Holidays, and then a great start to 2009 living in the cleanest city in the world.

Super Steep Skiing

Just came across Chris Davenport's photo-blog on his skiing adventures. Have not scrolled more than three pictures and look at the skiing in Antarctica:

TADT - The American Dream Team

The term "American Dream" was first used by James Truslow Adams in his 1931 novel, "The Epic of America. Truslow wrote of "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone", a land of "opportunity for each according to ability or achievement."

the DeadMau5

Anyone who partied a few years ago in Toronto, Canada's town of the Underground, would have see a giant, plush, walking mou5 in the city. But literally, as Joel Zimmerman mastered his sound, he went from unknown to global phenomenon! You may not like the borderline-commercial style of the house he releases, but Deadmau5 throws a show.

Here he is at Miami Winter Music Conference 2008 Mainstage

Britney,

You weren't the one that changed the world. You didnt' tell me what to agree on, I did. I made my own decisions before you sobered up. You are still a bitch for deceiving millions of people. But as a human, I can accept that you've regrown parts of your past, tumored over your horrendous appreciaction of your fans and yourself, and have tried through troubled times to help yourself.


I couldn't care less for you. However, I could not care more for allowing addiction disease to be the forefront of the public. We all are touched by addiction. We all struggle through different emotions, depending on our experiences. Addiction needs to be known as a disease.


And you should be proud, you're sober. You're beautiful because of your decisions.
But never say it was just you. Never say you didnt have help from the looks, the words, the choices of others. We all help eachother.

Addiction takes a while to overcome, and I cannot see supporting you when you do not acknowledge that to the public. Our realisations as addicts also has to acknowledge those who helped us. I know my friends and foes have their opinions, but I personally know that thye each helped.


But I do give you hope, and I give others hope.

Addiction is horrible.
Know it, understand it, speak up, offer solutions.

Understand how it affects you and those around you.
And be better for it.

-G.

Classiqs of Breakcore

Many people in the pop-disco scene don't know what any intelligable electronic music consists of. Rythem, bass, strategy, and finesse. Pop-house has none - the DJ's have it all.


While this set's DJ (me) may not have it all, he's got a good track selection. Enjoy it, hardcore broken beat massacre. Well, more of a friendly PLUR Puddle, but same idea of mass-organisation!


:P

Mars!




It is my blog, so listen to the music (I used to spin when I had student loans.) Prog Trance to house, to breaks to everywhere. This was a classic SF experimentation of tracks: progression, some 'how;d I get here' mixes, and some great beats. Definitely a Sunday morning WINTER set.

Did we even start? I don't think we did.



Proxy is dece.. He's been around on the free-scene for a while. What more do you want besides big bass on quirky tracks?




See, for the blog-house and remix scene to get THAT big and THAT popular - well, we knew it was coming. The underground creates the culture. But just obscure freelance projects rising up, intelligent music. People like it.


Tim Deluxe - Jack It (Original Mix)
Tech-house like it should be. Building up and then diverting off into the distance of groove. Never will people get the stuff, and never will they shake the groove off.

Fake Justice Everywhere

Not only in our current systems of justice, but also in electronic music.

Beatport writes:

Poor old Justice are having a hard week. [In the past,] the duo admitted in an interview that their album [†] contained at least 400 uncleared samples, and now comes this photo which shows the pair faking it during a live set.


The MIDI controller on the left ain’t plugged in, but the tall fuzzy-haired one is pretending that it is - he’s got an intense concentrated look on his face whilst moving the faders and knobs. Busted!


A close up reveals the MIDI controller to be unplugged. The thing is - this may not be the best place to discuss this topic - live electronic music is a hard thing to do.

Anyone with a shred of understanding of how the music is made knows that it’s near impossible to play electronic music 100% live, unless you have the talent of somebody like The Bays, who can play improvised dance music using only instruments.

Daft Punk might just be the best live dance act of the last few years, but their set is pre-programmed down to every last beat.

When you’ve got a superbly powerful light show and a giant pyramid light thingy in sync with the music, there’s no way the show could be pulled off without pre-programming it.

So what are dance bands like Justice supposed to do? At least make an effort, and control some of the filters and FX to give the impression of a live performance.

Or remember to plug the damn MIDI controllers in and smile.

Snow and Gradients

Looking outside and seeing how much fresh powder we have makes me envious. I wish there was a good base-layer of ice and compacted snow, and that the ski runs were open. Or that the inter-provincial move happened already. *summons the Earth's mantle to collide!* Nope! No mountains in Ontario! However, the potential of powder days in the future is very great, and let us enjoy this one inside.

Toothpaste For Dinner on hearing loss:



And why the hell not?
Pistol Crabs
THE world’s fattest man has finally managed to consummate his marriage after friends built him a “sex ramp”.

Tubby Manuel Uribe, 43, slimmed down to 47st for his wedding to Claudia Solis, 38, two weeks ago.

He was carted to the ceremony on a flatbed truck but was unable to have his wedding night fun.

So pals constructed a three-foot ramp, reinforced with concrete, allowing him to raise the lower half of his body.

This enabled his new bride to have greater access to his private parts.

And Manuel, who once tipped the scales at a colossal 87st, confirmed: “We have finally had sex and we are a true couple in the eyes of God.

“We feel like we are in heaven here on Earth.”

The idea for the ramp came from US company Liberator, which makes a variety of bouncy ramps so regular-sized couples can try new sex positions.

One friend in Monterrey, Mexico, said: “He and Claudia are very happy with the love ramp and, for the first time, being in bed has become fun for Manuel.”

Recession Tactics

Road to Revolution

Changing things up a bit, although not too much. I have always been impressed with Linkin Park's talents. Rockers, DJs, Synths - they've got it all, so not too far from our focus here.

Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit More out on DVD November 25.

Rewind and Upgrade

All you old school club heads might remember Utah Saints (Leeds, UK) from the 90's. They're single Something Good, reaching #4 in the UK charts of 1992, has been polished up and rebuilt, retrofitted to the clubs of modern day. You might still have trouble finding a purchaseable version due to copyright and whatnot, but if you manage to spin it into your set send us a link!

And unfortunately, the developed world has gone into recession officially. Canada's Canadian National(CN) Tower will be retrofitted into sky-high condos.

However, many of us will be stuck holding onto our positions like lifelines. Even overtime and paid over minimum-wage does not provide a livable income. But I get a shit-tonne back on my income taxes!
