To those who are missing the BURN

While the man may have some of us in its grips, for others we can just reminense and subcounciously catch the vibes that are undoubtely flowing from Black Rock City, NV where the annual Burning Man festival is held. It is an experience of a life time and no one says it differnent. The people, Art, Music, and culture attracts all walks of life from the google execs./owners(read their blog) all the way down to the hippy homeless roadsters, and of course its routes in outlaw bikers. While not everyone can attend the energry doesnt stop there, it will continue throughout the country and cosmos. Like a wave post burning man De-Compression events will scatter all over the country while attendees flock back to their regular or irregualr lives. Look closely as this is all walks of life and non-discriminatory.

With that said let us reminice is the glory of last years music. This one is from one of my favorite groups/camps out there Opulent Temple from the man who pretty much makes it all happen, Syd gris(http://www.opulenttemple.org/)

I had the pleasure of hearing live and hanging with him back stage at their NYC Opulent Temple fundraiser at public assembly in brooklyn. So check out his opening set at last years burning man and feel the incredibly massive vibes put forth from a tiny place in the middle of nevada desert:

Vivat Subterrenus

Vivat Subterrenus

Why the underground? Because we still believe in the pure, the basic? Could it be so simple, so trite? Its much more of a need than that, an endless chase for specific stimuli, a search for connection and beauty and the sacred in a society devoid of spiritual community, a hunger that can only be fed by beats and dance. Or is it simply a narcissistic aesthetic compulsion, desperation to be unique and special like mommy promised but the world didn’t deliver, jaded, clinging to and milking our pain, smarter-than, better-than, hipper, hotter, cooler, without trying of course, though our own counterculture fashions become the most pervasive trends.. A passport to drop out and travel around aimlessly under grandiose premises, doing drugs to help suspend disbelief that this is just a bunch of runaways listening to simple, repetitive crap, no it fucking can’t be!!! But it often is.

We are voracious and have consumed everything else, memorized it against our will, logged it with the rest of the force-fed product placement – what has been done is taboo,  nothing but the edge of the world will do! So close you can look over and peek into the unimaginable void before paddling quickly away, where the water crashes over and falls endlessly into darkness, roaring into silence.. Go back on second thought and toss some rocks into the unfathomable abyss, lower a rope, reach in, fall in, finally discovering something new if your descent doesn’t kill you – others on similar quests.. The night calls to our kind, the drums call, through fog and smoke and stifling heat. On subways, through traffic, we sidestep those that don’t understand, journeying to remote factories and forests, to uninhabitable deserts to celebrate in peace. We sacrifice much, we risk much. But we are right there, on a dark, surging wave with a view of it all, picking up speed.. Just relax on impact, break like the water and come together in a new place, ready to do it again.

LFO – Freak

“LFO(low-frequency oscillator) were pioneers of the bass-heavy techno music of the late 1980s to mid-1990s. So I hear when Justice dropped this, among others track at their chicago NYE Dj set the dancing has all but stopped as a true testament to Justice’s mainstream popularity the crowd had no idea what they were listening to. Dance floor silence.”

Nic Fanciulli Live – @ D Edge (Brazil)

Live tonight at Cielo…

Ok listen i’ve never been one to safeguard musik collections to themselves, i believe sharing makes the world spin much smoother….why else would you read this or be on the blog. However, even I was apprehensive about posting this mix up. Not only is it one of my favorite mixes(live sets) ever, but also perfect example of some of the things i love to shoot for in production, always want to hear more of in the scene, and sometimes literally sample for my own use as well(SHHH.) Soooo, anyway long story short, hes blowing up big time(signed to 2020vison,) if your into any form of House or similar this guys the fuaxksin cheeit take my word for it.

shuttle – the Vostok 1 mix-tape

SSSSSsssssssSSSoooooooooo this Dj that used that used to be named ‘etan’ and I realized that me nob and some others chilled with this dood(and toby who booked him or something) at Le Royale in NYC after his set and got a little slopping Due to legal reasons, Etan has had to change his name to Shuttle. To commemorate this turn of events, he’s put together a pretty eclectic mix including a few of his own tracks and remixes. I’ve been listening/ipodfacialing this mix for a few now, having no idea who it was or where i got it from cause of the name change, etc. Well finally looked em up. This mix is a pretty good banger and a great example for electro Breakbeat, Drum n Bass, Ambient and some indie even mixed in. shuttle has definitely got skills.

Call to action

“I AM NOT OK” is a call to action. It’s about not being content with anything that you are doing or anything that you have done. Each of us can do more — for ourselves and each other. There’s no time to “take it easy”. It’s not about being greedy, but it is about wanting more for yourself (there is a difference). It’s about pushing the limits (numbers and people) — as far as they can go. I AM NOT OK. -Joe Nice(Dubwar)
