Electro Funk Daddy Superstar Brake

Dangerous Drums - Saturday Oct 13th

This October Dangerous Drums duo ED2000 and dj Vela touch down in Hiroshima again for 2 nights of Breaks, Electro, Dub Step and whatever else they fancy.

The main event is on Saturday 13th of October at Bar Edge. We haven't been there for a while and we're very much looking forward to getting back down underground.

Alongside ED2000 and dj Vela we are also proud to present

CA2 (CoA 3KBreaks)

Moco (ELECTROROCKERH)

Godfarm (Heartbeat of Dragon)

and your hosts GHB and, little old me, Windcheater

Saturday night will be a good ol' fashioned 3KBreaks night and costs 2000Yen in advance, 2500Yen on the door.

On Friday (12th October) night, we're having a little pre-event at Lotus. ED2000 and Vela will be spinning again, with a very different flavour to Saturday. Expect lots of Dub Step and records played at the wrong speed :)

Joining us on this night will be the Sleepeye boys, and it's free.

Come and chill out on the friday, then put on your d****** shoes for Saturday. Just don't tell the rozzers.

Making of the Doctor Who theme (full)

lovely stuff

Victims Family - In a Nutshell

I have a bad right ear. I've had it ever since I was about 17....after going to see this band and standing a bit too near the speakers. One of my favourite 'hardcore' bands at that time :)

beat box - nouvelle star

ho hi ho hi ho

If I keep smiling...

crikey!

Windcheater ringtones?

Showing just how much attention I pay to things, I've only just noticed that Beatpick have a ringtone of my track Apathetic on their MySpace page. It's free and comes in 3 formats, none of which seem to work on my phone. Hohum.

Don't forget (as if you would) Apathetic is available in it's entirety to listen to and buy (yes buy!) on my Beatpick page.

What are you doing this summer?

Finowfurt, Germany: 1,200 computer enthusiasts from Germany and elsewhere have gathered for a five-day summer camp, Chaos Communication Camp 2007, which describes itself as an 'open-air festival for hackers and similar lifeforms'

Hope they all remember to pack their sun cream.

New track - Long Time Rocker

I've finally put a version of my latest track Long Time Rocker, out there. You can hear it on my MySpace page.

Hopefully it will be the first track you hear when you go there, and it should be at the top of the list.

Any comments, fair or foul, always welcome.

DJ Hype again

After a mental 2 weeks at work, it finally finished late on Sunday night and I went down to Mugen, for DJ Hype who was back in Hiroshima. Last time GHB posted a review on GH, in which he wondered whether the local Drum and Bass scene hadn't hit it's peak. When we arrived on Sunday it did seem that way. Looking at my photos of the last time, it's clear there were a lot more people there, and even from the pictures its also obvious that the crowd were much more up for it than on Sunday. And what is it with the sound in Mugen? This place offered local clubbers a bit of hope when it opened amidst all the raids and other club's closures. It was bigger, better and newer than anywhere else. Unfortunately, noone seems to know how to get the best out of the sound system. Either that or its just a shit. Drum and bass requires, as the name suggests right? a lot of bass. The highs were ear piercing for a lot of the night and you could see Hype wasn't happy at the beginning of his set.

That said, enter the large presence of MC IC3 (WARNING! - IC3's MySpace site is covered in Chelsea pictures). What a brilliant MC. Really funny, really energetic, he transformed the fairly flat atmosphere in Mugen (what happened to lights and smoke guys?) which was no fault of the tunes Hype was playing. I don't think I have ever seen an MC make a night so much. I thought perhaps he's just doing it cos that's what he does but as Hype dropped his last tune, he was asking him to do another hour. Big otsukare to him, if I were one of the D'n'B promoters in Hiroshima I would be getting him back for every night they do.

Also, big big up to the Sleepeye boys who played some fantastic tunes after Hype. I was ready to go home drunk and tired as usually the music gets ramped up even harder after the big name leaves the stage, but not this time. Tanoshikatta.

Good news on the 3K front too as we look to be heading back to our roots sometime in October....will, ofcourse, keep you posted.

Not so long ago, almost back home, I was suddenly confronted by this amazing piece of graffiti. I spotted on MySpace yesterday and so was able to track down the artist. You can check more of his work on his homepage or, if you live in Hiroshima, keep your eyes peeled for more of his stuff around town. There's a nice shop front next to the Ramen place at near the crossing of Chuo douri and Heiwa douri.

Lovely stuff.

Jurassic 5 - Concrete Schoolyard

Summer's here.....

hopefully

Peep Show - Mark has therapy

:)

Plan B- No Good

Justice - D.A.N.C.E (Version Finale)

Haven't heard as good an 'electronic' album as this in ages and I've only listened to the first 7 tracks. Great video.

A NEW POPE

Adam Buxton! Hooraah!

Choo choo!

I love the Shinkansen because it's fast, comfortable and efficient and it usually means I'm going somewhere fun. Slightly different reasons to this guy's enjoyment of the pleasure's of travelling by bullet train...

Excited train buff Koichi Inoue, a 40-year-old civil servant from Yokohama, said before his departure, "No matter what, I needed to be aboard this very first train. During my ride, I plan to examine how much the car will tilt" on curves.

Full story here, although it isn't all that interesting. I just love hearing about fellow geeks :)

The Time The Place, Chris Morris

Never seen this before. The genius of Chris Morris....

blaaah

Cock on your sock. Lovely. Not as good as the 8ish year old girl I saw the other week with SPUNK cheerfully emblazoned on her sweatshirt in big bright colourful letters. Post spunk on chest jokes in the comments section please.

I really have almost finished a new track. Will post it up here when it's done and dusted (probably about October).

Listening to the Breakspoll 3 mix by Ed Solo and Skool of Thought, who I caught at Audio back at Xmas. It is, as expected, verrr good :)
