OUT ON VACATION

In principiu plec in vacanta pentru vreo 2 saptamani. Asta nu inseamna ca o sa mai fiu prezent. O sa fiu poate, dar mai rar pentru ca doresc sa stau la mare, sub o umbrela, cu o bere tinuta lejer in mana si o tigara in cealalta. Din cand in cand sa ma ridic sa ma joc cu frisbee-ul si poate sa imi bag un picior in apa. Cam atat. Anul asta we keep it local. So, wait for me.

Recommends Vol 4 Out Now

Curated by A Bunch of Cuts, the 4th installment of the free downloadable album, Recommends 4 features tracks from Klute, Martyn, Calibre, Doc Scott and many more. The concept is simple - every month they compile a free downloadable album of tracks for their users at the highest quality with no strict brief on theme or genre. Volume 4 brings together under the patronage of prestigious d'n'b collective ABunchofCuts.com a lot of fresh tunes, classics, rarities and exclusives.. For volume 4 we have invited esteemed drum & bass collective ABunchofCuts.com to compile Recommends, and the result is a collection from across their catalog that includes fresh new beats, classics, rarities and exclusives. From liquid to jazzy and technoid, all in all a great melange of drum and bass from the most influential artists.

Recommends Vol 4 Tracklist:


1 - Calibre: Mr Right On (Signature)

Punchy drums, lilting keys, a sultry sax line and a virtually horizontal double bass line. Simple yet sublime - standard Calibre.

2 – Lynx Featuring Kemo: Global Enemies (Soul:r)

Moody and mysterious, this wicked hip hop / drum & bass crossover is the perfect introduction to the innovative work of Lynx.


3 – Seba & Krazy: Nebula (Bassbin)

Soaring, dreamy atmospherics combine with thunderous bass and frenetic drums for a track that recalls the classic days of Speed.


4 – Breakage: Jazzy (Bassbin)

It turns out master of the drum edits Breakage can make some seriously good downtempo beats. Check it.


5 – D-Bridge: Scrabble (Exit Records)

An exclusive from the studio vaults of D-Bridge. A tight percussive roller with a heavy b-line.


6 – SKC: Dream Come True (Commercial Suicide)

A beautiful piece of d&b: all cascading drums and pulsating bass, brilliant.


7 – Martyn: Shadowcasting (Revolve:r)

Martyn’s first foray into dubstep and it’s a deep soulful number – this could easily go on to be a landmark in dubstep’s evolution!


8 – Calibre: Mindprint (Signature)

An exclusive from the back catalogue of Calibre. Not available anywhere but here, this is warm, organic drum & bass of the highest order.


9 – Klute: Machine Gun Etiquette (Commercial Suicide)

D&B legend Klute has always had a penchant for techno, this track – packed with driving bass and a quirky melody shows his skills stretch way beyond the confines of his primary genre.


10 – Marcus Intalex & ST Files: Neptune (31 Records)

A stone cold classic off the ‘How You Make Me Feel’ 12”, a piece of vinyl that was instrumental in the nascent liquid funk scene – this is a must own.


11 – Nasty Habits: Deep Beats (31 Records)

A tripped-out stepper from the King of the Rollerz, Doc Scott, a perfect blend of the dark and light.

1 Year of Fusion Pack @ Club X Cave, GL --- 27.06

Canofthought support.

După un an de experimente și încercări, Epsilon și Kishazz au pus bazele a ceea ce azi numim (și pe bună dreptate dacă e să luăm în considerare genurile abordate) Fusion Pack. La după nici un an de existență, haita a reușit să atragă într-unul dintre cele mai frumoase orașe port ale țării un număr important de nume din scena autohtonă de Drum&Bass, Breakbeat, Dubstep, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Jungle și Dub în cadrul unor evenimente pline de vibe și atmosferă, câștigându-ne tot respectul pentru efortul pe care îl fac pentru a sprijini diversitatea in scenă. Pe lista invitaților ce au avut prilejul să-și spună cuvântul in cadrul mișcării din Galați se numără artiști precum Ogonek, Konspirator, Skiller, MC Bean, Dropdread, Tomasan, Yuffa & Hardcore, Jamal, Drums.ro Crew și localnicii din Koalition.

Fiți cu ochii pe ei pentru că așa cum sunt, de treabă și puși pe treabă, băieții de la Fusion Pack promit un viitor plin de distracție și voie bună, iar primul prilej de a lua parte la unul dintre evenimentele lor îl aveți chiar la sfârșitul săptămânii când Epsilon si Kishazz impreună cu Moondust și Goblin vor sărbători alături de invitatul lor special, Amadeus de la Touch Crew din Statele Unite.

Nume important din scena internațională de Ragga-Jungle, Amadeus este cunoscut pentru seturile explozive în care aruncă orice de la Drum&Bass de școală veche și Ragga-Jungle până la Dancehall și remixuri Hip-Hop. Fiind mereu la curent cu ultimile release-uri si dubplate-uri de la artiști internaționali consacrați, Amadeus se prezintă de fiecare dată cu același sound ce i-a adus notorietatea in State, presărat cu o mulțime de piese unreleased și definit de versatilitate si interactivitate cu publicul.

Friday Song



Doctor,
What is happening to me?
Palpitations
My mind's diseased
Even my vision is impaired
I'm losing my hair
Cos when I hold her in my arms
I feel like Fred Astaire

Lovesick
My temperature's high
Just met a girl
Who believes we can fly
I'm a bull not a bear
I'm a millionaire
And when I hold her in my arms
I feel like Fred Astaire

I believe in happiness
I believe in Love
I believe she fell to earth
from somewhere high above
I believe in Hollywood
Don't believe that Love must bring despair
Cos when I hold her in my arms
I'm just like Fred Astaire

He said love is just a disease
A plague for the naïve
These days no one believes
These days no one believes

Meteors may strike the earth
Nations live and die
I'm the boy who got the girl
Who showed me how to fly
We can cross the race divide
Bridge a gap that wasn't really there
I'm gonna hold her in my charm
Just like Fred Astaire


Beautiful song. Just remembered about it.. Enjoy with your loved one.

Metaphor01 - a creative writing project

Ceea ce imi doream de mult timp s-a intamplat partial. Azi, 04.06.08 a luat nastere blogul metaphor01.wordpress.com, inceputul unei comunitati de creative writing, ceva ce pana acum nu era de gasit. Vom incepe cu incetisorul, catinel, cine vrea poate trimite texte la lxmicu @ gmail dot com sau la adresa canofthought. Waiting.....

For You

Have you ever been swept away?

I mean grabbed by your ankles and thrown in the air so hard that
the tip of your nose touched the first cloud?

I’m not talking about a Peter Pan kind of flight but more of an angel flight combined with a Superman one, from the days he used to fly after Lois.

And as you fly against gravity with a “v” velocity and an “a” acceleration greater than any terrestrial thing that ever cut you off, with your feet facing the sky and your eyes down looking at the ant farm below, you realize that you left behind not only the entire world. No.

Down below there’s you too. It’s you before you got yanked and thrown all the way to the border between the Milky Way and the Veggie Way. The one that is left behind together with the rest, your earthly cheap ego, the hollow and devastated man that you were, your amiable laughter, all of these will be no more when you return.

Someone else will come down… a better, nicer, responsible, smarter, saner person…one that doesn’t beat people up and you will start over. Yes, all over. The way you want it. In an orderly fashion, clinical, right as rain, elegant, with a different gaze, with different gestures, less tics, no regrets, no depressions, no tears, all in, a kamikaze of soul and spirit.

It’s one of those incredible things that you wished for since your first grasp for air but didn’t know about it till now. You didn’t know you wanted it because you knew of its existence only deep down in your demented and perverted from remorse subconscious. From things you wanted to say but you never got to.

The best thing in this programmed life is to be jerked up in the air, to see how you were supposed to live, to be slapped merciless, to be kicked in the balls, to be punched directly in your nose oriented towards the skies.

The best thing is to see yourself from above. To see yourself so little and meaningless and to realize that this is how things are and will be from now on unless you find someone to cast a spell on you.

I don’t know if I can make myself understood but I assure you after these enumerations, comparisons and metaphors there will be a solution, a revealing. Because a story without a revealing is not much of a story. Just as without a problem and a solution there is no story. There’s anything but a story.

The revelation and the epiphany of this scene are included in the most beautiful and delicate package in the world. A little box of an amberish color tied carefully with a ribbon the color of the rain at sunset and glazed with white gold. My gift was she. She had a candor, which you can find only in fairy-tale-movies or in children’s books. The word “beautiful” doesn’t help me at all.

It’s something so over-used and trivial that I wouldn’t dare to associate with all the above. She had a tenderness seen only in flowers, with cheeks of a color that you find only in nature during spring, with a tinker bell laughter, she gave you a shiver from the moment she touched you, she had a spark which will later become my aura, a kiss which made you faint. Her lips were the absolute cure-all, the philosophers’ stone that so many old, autistic and disillusioned men searched for and which I found.

My salvation came in the form of the most valuable and dreamy present. Who doesn’t like to receive presents? I’ve always wondered that. There has to be someone in this world that claims that receiving a gift doesn’t inflict a reasonable amount of pleasure. So what? These are people that never got any. I mean they got stuff but not presents. In life one single present is enough. In fact, one single present is enough for two lives. One thing I ask: that after I’m dead to be able to still remember.

I believe that whoever takes your body from you cannot be this cruel as to take your memories too. And if this is the case, then I guarantee that you can sleep in peace, like babies.

Yes, it’s true. I’m in love. I live, breathe, drink and eat the thrill that made me be me again forever. And no one can take this away from me as hard as they try. She’s mine and I don’t share, I don’t give her away, I’m actually pretty scared to talk about her for fear that she will be stolen. They’re lots of scoundrels out there who, instead of looking for their own prefer to take from other people. It’s just that, what they don’t know is once taken away love will not function the same for them too. Because it only works once and that’s it. It’s enough. You steal it and if self-destructs. What you thought you made your own has no value now taken from its environment.

It’s like making a dolphin live in an apartment. Buy it chips and sardines with sea salt and you will still not succeed. It will die no matter how hard you try. It’s the only thing you need even if you don’t know what it is.

Mean people, bumptious and envious people are the ones that never tasted the love truffle. They are alive they kiss, they laugh, they hug but they were never struck by lightning. There was nothing going through their bodies, they haven’t been changed.

If all the people would be in love we would have no troubles. Not in traffic, not at the store, not at work.

It’s a story about her, starring me and guest starring LOVE.
