Secret Sounds: Reloaded

...Is what it should be called. but it's actually called Bass and Breaks, should be alright like, gonna get messed up, hopefully I'm not working the next day. Hopefully. There's a work party tonight, I should probably go, but I don't know, whatever anyway we'll see... Here's the poster anyway ^_^

Jackass

SO... it looks like I'm one of those jackasses who starts a blog then completely forgets about it and shit, classic, well it's the general trend really I suppose, HA. Yeah anyway I maybe might post something relevant soon...

Secret Sounds

bahaha what a night was fuckin awesome, my plan to sync a ton of my songs and play that live while using loads of effects worked like a charm, my first set with no crashes + actual mixing (no more DJ Windows Media Player) and live effects, went really well, like, mad stoked about it, still! Johnny Yeah fuckin killed it with a plethora of wobbles, I did my thing (although I came to the realisation that no one wants to hear my "IDM" crap), Adam Alien Hand wrecked the place with breaks, hardcore and some classics (Limb by Limb was just hillarious), and Cormac Welfare shat all over everything with the usual old school jungle freebase overdose...

Proper lethal, and there was a great feeling of accomplishment looking at a pretty packed, mainstream techno night in the next room, where the agenda was "serious techno, hands to the sides, don't you dare have too much fun business" compared with a room of "anything goes breakcore mashup bass jungle oriented nonsense see how fast you can bounce from one wall to the other business" which was quite clearly having the fucking buzz unlike it's more "popular" counterpart (not saying it wasn't good or they weren't enjoying themselves or anything, I'm sure they had "fun") (Although it was louder which seemed unfair, but hey, the fact that we even got to a full irish breakcore night was epic.)

Caught up with so many folks from ages ago...

To fuckin top it all off, it went so well, and Jaygo made such a tidy profit, that there's gonna be another one in november, which me and Johnny will aparently be returning to for sure, and Jaygo mentioned getting Deadlybuzz, who does stuff like johnny, and if he does, I shall be appearing on the lineup as DJ YeahDeadly...

Just when you thought breakcore was dead and gone...

17 Days, really?

Well, got nothing done really, except a couple new tracks, but to be fair I'm feeling pretty fucking amibitious about the whole thing anyway, friday that is, Secret Sounds *haha still makes me laugh, every time. Anyways yeah had a really quick go of what I had in mind last night and it seams to be working, essentially assigning each knob on my nanokontrol2 to control a different effect. Test run was delay/comby type thing, stretch, bitcrush and a reverser, sounded fucking bitching actually, real kinda old school feel and sound to it, so the plan is to make the set first, all at the same BPM, all synced, all nice, and set cue points telling me what BPM I need to change it to when it comes up to the cue. Seams kinda like cheating, cause I'd have to do all the "mixing", more like mashing in my case beforehand, but then I'd have the freedom to work the effects to bits, as well as keep control of the speed of the proceedings, either way I'm excited as shit about it, really can't wait to get this shit up and running woot

Finally

Holidays start today. 17 days to make a man of myself. Let's go.

Going Postal

Going post crazy these days! Well, yesterday, and today. I suppose it may be because some things have happened, well they haven't really to be truthful, but anyways, moving on... So, first order of business is a guy came by last night and left with my laptop, hopefully that means it's gonna he's going to be fixing it. So that is good.

Now secondly, i sent pep a message on http://www.ihatebreakcore.com/ which I am effectively an admin on, not that I've ever done anything admin-like on there, apart from post like a lunatic and update the polls. Anyways we're going to try to get the contests section up and running again (I have to stop using that bullshit, Xbox troubleshooting line) but yeah, have some pretty ambitious ideas... The ideas are a bit too ambitious to reveal, and the last thing I want is to ever look back at this thing, realising that I never did any of the things I had said I was going to do. Long winded much? I know.

Anyways that's that, in other news I got a bunch of new tunes, stuff I always meant to listen to, but never did, out of stubbornness or procrastination, either way got a bunch of Xanopticon, Igorr and I:gor, as well as a few choice things, like Scenocide 202 by The Outside Agency, which has gotten some fairly mega reviews. What I was really after was Insideout Liver Meat Balloon by Doormouse, circa '98, though I'd like to think he made the tracks earlier than that... This got me to thinking about Dan Martin, and where he is now...

So, I looked it up on google earth, and this is where he is;

In Miami, being a personal trainer, in that building.

Urgh, that will have to do for today. I was going to post a track also but I can't find the embed code. Whatever.

Another one bites the dust

So it's been a long time coming, but my laptop's decided not to charge itself anymore... which means I need to get it fixed, as well as get a new one :/ not particularly thrilled about it. Kinda puts my "music" plans on hold, which is unfortunate, especially seeing as I have a set to do next month, for Tariq's bad ass looking breakcore/hardcore night "Secret Sounds" (I love that name, sounds like an underground junior disco or something)

Yeah so that should be decent, pretty all star line-up, Yeahhbuzz and Alien Hand's sets should be off the chain.

Mine will either be the same old drivel, or if I can get this laptop situation sorted, it could be something pretty bad ass.

Seems daunting though... Hope it all goes okay... Actually it always goes okay, be nice if it went phenominally, and there was another one of these next month or something!
