Today, a birdie mentioned that at Guantanamo Bay detention camp, at one time or another, the soldiers would torture the inmates by blasting music from Rage Against The Machine. If you think about it, we Americans listen to an enormous conglomerate of noise. Yet, our ears have grown accustomed to this noise that we find beauty in ugliness. Of course, we would probably hang ourselves if we were inmates, succumbed to hours of Peruvian Flute Band music.
While I was hitting up Club Yost in infamous Orange County, Halloween weekend, it was unfortunate to only be able to be in one place at a time, to be able to miss Escape from Wonderland, or even Hard Haunted Mansion, for that matter. Featured is Thomas Gold's set from the Escape from Wonderland event in San Bernardino, CA. Soon I hope to hire henchmen to video tape these events so I and everyone else who is unable to attend, can experience the mayhem of these clashing sounds, blinding lights and speed-demon two-steppers at these events, without leaving your room. "I love gold."
KOAN Sound returns with a new album called Funk Blaster, an EP. Debuting yesterday, KOAN Sound features tracks with their usual low-toned buzzmeister synths, mixed with an array of funky-good-time, dub-stepping-time, eighties-metro-are-and-bee, and a hint of classy-So-Cali-hip-hop humpity-bumps. I see this thing growing. (That's what she said.)
Every day I encounter a haughty individual who claims more than one parking spot for his vehicle. Sometimes this person parks like this on purpose, and sometimes this person parks like this haphazardly. If I had the time, I would go around town looking for these weasels; and if I spot one, I'll smash a hard-to-peel-off sticker right where the driver's eyes can sink when they read the buzz words of:
If you have some time to spare from your worker-bee-type lives, have a sit down and open your ear-waxed aural auditoriums to Hardwell's live set at Sensation Innerspace, in Dane country. It would be better if there was video to accompany. Yet it would be even better if we were all there in Denmark. Or if Hardwell could over here and play his live set for every one of us, a door-to-door DJ. That's ambition.
Here's a preview of Guau's remix of Lightshapers & Critical's Punchline. I'm currently scribing this while on the freeway, going a mild 10 mph...wait, 13 mph. I am amazed how advanced technology has come. Before there was only the Zach Morris phones and dub step was only an experiment in London. In twenty years, what will phones do? What will be the sound of future electronic music?
Another vacation has passed and it's time to reset. A perfect track for the occasion is the Turbofunk remix of Reset!'s hot creation called Don't Let the System Control You. What sticks out is the frequency of the synth used, perhaps a lower-mid type. It's a frequency you don't hear much, therefore it sounds more pleasing to the ears. Next time you put on your headphones or turn on your Pandora channel in the car, listen to the frequency of the synth used for songs. Check to see what level the artist uses. Are they pleasing? Why might they be pleasing?
Not gonna lie. Myndset's recent mixes and remixes have been stuck in my head. As well as his trademark alien astronaut neato helmet. Below is his most recent mix full of electro bangers and dancefloor smashers. Click Play.
