yo (informal message to myself, the sole reader of this comatose blog),

everyone has a blog. i also have one. no biggie. i probably don't write on here very often because other people have blogs and they are more dedicated than i am. i promise very little. i commit to very little, i used to, i don't anymore. but i promise i'll keep the emo to a minimum.

promises i can make and keep. i really always love music, in general. i will always hate sub-genres, while also being a genre purist (i'm talking to you dubstep). i will write, map, produce, master, mix, effect, and post at least one original production in the year 2011. i can promise to never do a club DJ set with a laptop ever again. *house parties excluded because, well, house parties don't have stages and people spill shit. i can also promise that i'm a probably less weird than i pretend or think i am, but that doesn't stop me from being really awkward simply for the sake of self-amusement.

all in all, whatever. collini, out.

HARD13 - 3/13/2009: Destructo, DIM, Shadow Dancer, Erol Alkan, Diplo, Boys Noize...

Thus was the original progression of the decay into the world of rave and electronica. There it was, a show where nearly every DJ there played Wake Up (for the fans) and Suspense Is Killing Me (for Boy 8-Bit's father?). Rave isn't some sole, destructive entity bent on drug binges and irresponsible water consumption. Rave is a movement, a place and culture of friendship. Proper behavior is regulated not by force or coercion but by mutual understanding and non-aggression. The music an expression of the hidden drives and unexpressed emotions of the newest generations.

Rave, like anarchy, is a peaceful chaos. Its members operate only within the confines of themselves, mutual respect and responsibility. Following HARD13, while among friends at an annual reincarnation of a Vietnam War protest in Madison, WI the name Slubot was first coined. At an event which should outwardly reflect both peace and political unrest, there was police state and the ever-present existence of American behavioral dichotomy. Streets filled with people, students. Going to class, going to work, reading textbooks. Going to bars, going to parties, fucking bodies. Slubot is a portmanteau of and reaction formation to the slut and the robot. The sexual automaton that is American youth that is losing control of itself and of its culture.

Slubot believes in anarchy (not 1960's American communes; but real anarchy, Rothbardian Anarchy, Anarcho-Capitalism) as the most desirable philosophy to be understood by human beings. Anarchy maintains all the aspects that exist in rave, though they seem at odds: peace and chaos, freedom and responsibility, self and non-self.

Chaos is simply the lack of an organized structure which allows true peace to exist. Freedom is the ability to act according to one's wishes, which can only occur in conditions of great responsibility. The self is what we can control, but that control must not aggressively interfere with others' selves: the non-self.

The music is an outlet for that. Keeping the beat ensures peace, but the crowd experiences chaos. Track selection is completely free, but is done so responsibly to maintain peace and chaos. Finally, the DJ is one entity and the crowd is another. Two selves cooperating and adjusting to tracks selected to create a turbulent tranquility.

Slubot is anarchy and anarchy is rave.

Lollapalooza

2009-08-06T10:49:00.006-05:00

This weekend is Lollapalooza at Grant Park in Chicago, IL, USA. In addition to being one of the biggest outdoor music festivals (though not as "big" as Summerfest), Lollapalooza has always been a showcase for rising and risen talent in the music industry.

Humans, Robots, and assuredly music Slooters will be in attendence. You may find me: Robot, and my friends: Human, at Perry's Tent all weekend from Friday afternoon until Deadmau5 melts the stage down on Sunday evening.

Important notes:
Drink water now.
Hopefully you've been working out because dancing for three days straight is a marathon.
If you partake of any substances, be smart and responsible. Appreciate the experience and never underestimate the wonderment of a psychological rather than visuo-physical high.
Have fun and don't be afraid to dance. PLUR.

Here are some twoons to start the weekend early:

The Bloody Beetroots - House N*84

Crookers - We Are All Prostitutes

Bingo Players - Get Up (Diplo Remix)

Boys Noize - Come With Me (opening track)

Deadmau5 - asdfghjkl

Enjoy for now.

Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any of these tracks. (despite my strong opinion that copyrights and patents hold back inventive progress by causing stalemates in innovation and not requiring creative people to continue being creative to beat their competition)

Ryskee - Leave Me Amor (The Bloody Beetroots) ... LYRICS

2009-07-28T16:11:00.007-05:00

After listening to this wonderful song in its original form and then in its surprisingly de-electrified version by The Bloody Beetroots I did a lyrics search. But alas, no lyrics were posted. I search high and low but realized I had to do the leg work on this one. Leslie Ming's voice is beautiful and her words, despite being either arguably nonsensical or profoundly retrospective and emotional, are well selected. They are as follows.

Ryskee - Leave Me Amor lyrics

I hope it won’t be like before, with struggle all around us.

I wouldn’t stand it like before, when people talked about us.

I guess it wasn’t hard to see you had such a crush on me.

But it was easy to believe that you’d be cheating on me.

Someday will come and you’ll be gone,

Someday you’ll go and leave me.

Someday you’ll do it like before,

Someday you’ll do it for me.

I can not stand this anymore, you should have mercy for me.

My heart is not an open door, I never gave you the key.

So that my life can be happy,

So that my heart can be shining.

You’ve got to leave me amor,

You’ve got to leave me amor.

So there won’t be any crying,

So there won’t be any fighting.

You even think it’s surprising, you’ve got to leave me amor

Never try to get you back,

Getting closer to heart attack.

I don’t want to see you on my track.

You did cheat and that’s a fact.

Never try to get you back,

Getting closer to heart attack.

I don’t want to see you on my track.

You did cheat and that’s a fact.

I hope it won’t be like before, with struggle all around us.

I wouldn’t stand it like before, when people talked about us.

I guess it wasn’t hard to see you had such a crush on me.

But it was easy to believe that you’d be cheating on me.

Someday will come and you’ll be gone,

Someday you’ll go and leave me.

Someday you’ll do it like before,

Someday you’ll do it for me.

I can not stand this anymore, you should have mercy for me.

My heart is not an open door, I never gave you the key.

I really needed someone like you.

I would’ve died for someone like you.

(x5)

So that my life can be happy,

So that my heart can be shining,

You’ve got to leave me amor.

So there won’t be any crying,

So there won’t be any fighting,

You even think it’s surprising, you’ve got to leave me amor.

(x2)

I really needed someone like you,

I would’ve died for someone like you.

(x5)

Great summer song and if you're a sentimental type the song gives you a little extra.
Plus, you can't argue with Guy-Manuel's brother Paul OR The Bloody Beetroots!

The Essential List

2009-07-18T15:53:00.003-05:00

In my inaugural post, I'd like to take the time to list my favorite BBC Radio1 Essential Mixes.

1. Tiga - 04.04.2009
2. Steve Aoki - 08.02.2008
3. Erol Alkan & A-Trak @ 2020 Bournemouth - 11.15.2008
4. Tiesto @ Global Gathering - 07.30.2006
5. Erol Alkan @ Global Gathering - 07.29.2007
6. Deadmau5 - 07.19.2008
7. MSTRKRFT - 05.24.2008 (the one that started it all for me)
8. Herve - 02.21.2009
9. 2Many DJs @ Creamfields - 08.23.2008
10. Fake Blood - 03.14.2009

As stated, this is my list of personal favorites. The are certainly essential mixes that are perhaps more technically impressive (Diplo, Armin Van Buuren, Bodyrox to name a few).

I will say that an Essential Mix by The Bloody Beetroots or Boys Noize would undoubtedly be at the top of this list.

T
