House Music Total Digest of the Week: October 2,2012

This week's club banger comes from DJ Shouri!!


Dirty Dutch Mash Up! - Heavy Hitter

These tunes are the the the business.I can go on about this mix and I just discovered it today. It was not the first one i found. I'm into discovering new music and promoting good music when/where i can. Tracks that are consistently heavy dance and hard to ignore. I like R&B, Rap, Danza Kuduro, but its something about house that can't compare to the feeling.

Why does this track make the cut?

This podcast is piled with great music from #dirtydutch to #housemusic  this mash-ups has everything. The journey kicks off with Dirty South ringing into a very funky Daft punk. This whole podcast is definitely a getting ready for the club sort of mix. Every laid track goes hard. The dirty dutch house hits my favorite Where them Girls at -just for a sec then switches it up. It goes from one dance track to the next even hitting the up & coming #Knife Party  to house favorite Nadia Ali/Alesso. You have to check out DJ Shouri's Free Podcast! it is the best fool proof mix i've heard in a long time. For complete track listings click here #mashup!

What else i listen too:

Like I said, I'm always down for some club bangers so I bought
Ibiza 2012 Deluxe Edition


 I haven't heard it yet but from the previews I'm sure it will be great.

Song of the Week- Sept. 24th 2012

Discovered this song through my Ocean Lab #Pandora station.
Tranquil but over relaxing, Andain, Gabriel & Dresden take you on an out of body experience through nature and the finer things. When i heard this song I was overwhelmed with getting out of the house on time, making plans/covering my bases and secretly waiting for a text I knew I'd never get, from someone who wasn't thinking about me.
Andain - Beautiful Things (Gabriel and Dresden Unplugged Remix)is the perfect antidote to a hectic week and senseless break ups. This will open your eyes and relax your brain. Enjoy!

The Electric Daisy Carnival NYC 2012 pt.1 & 2

 

The Electric Daisy Carnival from Coast to Coast

Part 1_The Performances of Saturday EDC NYC

An21 & Max Vangeli started the day off  in the Stadium with some heavy haus music and good vibes. I was fortunate enough to over hear the active and fresh dance music of Cazzette while i was waiting for the one and only Alesso. Alesso is an artist that has been on the rise for over four years but the past eighteen months i have really seen his success grow. He's performed at EDC LV andElectric ZOO NY both of which I was at but didn't have the opportunity to enjoy. EDC NYC he showed off his authentic dance sound and landed it. He have a great performance, nice visuals and spun my personal favorite Nadia Ali Pressure  Alesso remix of course. Next was Calvin Harris, i have had the pleasure of watching him from small night clubs, pool parties but seeing him on the EDC NYC stage was a great experience. Harris opened with Flashback (Guetta Remix) skipped around a little with some 'Bounce' and then hit ''You used to Hold Me.' Calvin Harris is always a pleasure, after all he created disco. Next was Colombian artist, Errick Morrillo who offers a very unique sound to the electronic ear. Morrillo performed 'World in Your Hand'  with his smooth latin rythm and eletronic hook. He is something like a Victor Cruz #80 to the Electronic Music Team. After some salsa was Sebastian Ingrosso, of Swedish House Mafia. Sebastian Ingrosso, Sebatian Ingrosso, my what an under estimate. He took EDC for a U-Turn. Ingrosso brought some heavy dirty house with consistent beat, spining the track 'Calling' with DJ Alesso. It was refreshing to hear live with the two makes of the dance hit. Steve Angello was the same level of excitment. Steve Angello took his crowd into an upward spiral of electo beats with house flavor. His show was fun, grungy, heavy, and theme animated. Angello's visuals reminded me of a 'Watchman' comic with action. I've seen Angello before and one thing is for sure, you are going to dance. Out from the Cosmic Meadow and through the lot was Avicii aka the sweet precious Tim Berg. On my was to the Circuit Grounds I overheard and saw Tim Berg playing his home-run 'Bromance.'  He spins that track with such beauty and grace making sure fans get the best experience. At the Circuit Grounds Armin Van Burren was another satisfying entertainer. Following these artist from event to event, they grow on you. They are a friend you can notice change in. Armin seemed a little tired but did not disappoint. It was his second night in a row closing the Electric Daisy Carnival and he carried it away. His visuals of a sky skaper gliding over NYC buildings, took all the little daisies into a state of trance. Armin's set was a little heavy, a little beat-y, some nice consitencey. The great thing about  Armin is he will do a performance. He will make it worth your time.  He performed the class In and Out of Love ft. Sharon Adel and Not Giving Up on Us but left the stage with no encore, who knows maybe he didnt hear our chants.

Back to the Kinetic Field Avicii performed the hit that made it to daytime radio- 'Levels.' That song always means fun and feel good times. As Danny Tenaglia closed the neonGardens with his D&B set. Avicii rose above the standard and closed with the Jay Z & Kanye hit 'Cray' or 'N* in Paris.'  That started a mass breakout in excitment and dancing. People stopped to watch Avicii close EDC. Like tradition carries- Fireworks went off  at the finale of EDC, while Avicii went 10 minutes over into a remarkable finish. The Electric Daisy Carnival came to New York and offered them a taste of what the LA has been missing. The Carnival was just that a carnival of music talent, characters, and electric daisies.

Part 2_People After My Own Heart

 Insomniac's Electric Daisy Carnival of New York was one, a 5 year veteran -daisy like myself didn't see coming. From the LA Colesieum in 2007 to the first EDC of Las Vegas in 2011, the most recent EDC NYC 2012. The most valuable lesson i have learned from the Carnival of Electric Daisies is, who's playing is just as rewarding as who's attending. The Carnival was complete with characters and clowns. At EDC NYC the daisies surfaced loud and clear.  Every year Insomniac brings out the wildest of the wild: stilt walkers, clowns, walking fish, carnival rides, ballerinas, courtesans, decorated daisy ladies, and much much much more. In turn by doing this Insomniac counter encourages those attending to

dress in their most bizarre attire. What a joy

 it was for me to see a shared tradition of the West blossom on the East. NYC, came with tutu's, dasies, banana costumes, blow up dinosaurs & monkeys, neon colors, and positive attitudes. When the LA collesiuem put up the fence and locked the entrance into the collesieum prohibiting every patron to enjoy such an event- it killed people and hope of benevolent preserverance. It was so damaging to the spirit of the Electric Daisy Carnival, will we ever re-join as a people, will we ever get those moments of sitting shoulder to shoulder enjoying the entertainment we pay so much for. Well, NYC was complete with smiles and open arms. Everywhere i walked "i love your outfit!" "EDCCC!!" "let's share""are you ok?"  so many positive attitudes on. Everywhere "want to take a picture?" It was the come back of strangers becoming friends. As an EDC veteran i felt at home. I felt everyone was there really to have a good time. As a NJ resident I now realize the intamacy of the festival. No one was pushing, everyone was willing to lend a helping hand or friendly gesture.The Metlife Stadium was an accomodating setting. The stages were close enough to each other, the staff was kind- uniformative but kind nonetheless, and the rides were entertaining. Tents throughout the event would have been nice wince it was well over 80 degrees, sunny, and cold save people suffering form heat exhaustion but hey who's counting. Overall the tone was nice and refreshing. From speculation this is a mature crowd that is definitely ready for more Electric Daisy Carnivals.

Japan 8.9 Earthquake 3/11/10 and more to come...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12709598

As i listen and watch the broadcast my heart breaks with every report.
It's approximately 4:25 on 3/12/11 in the morning and the north east coast is burning and sinking. its more devastating than the idea that the United States contributed to "The destruction and overwhelming chaos that the estimates of killed and wounded in Hiroshima (150,000) and Nagasaki (75,000) are over conservative."(http://www.aasc.ucla.edu/cab/200708230009.html) 

That is the first thought in my head. Is we contributed to over 200,00 deaths and millions of other post traumatic ailments. However NOW mother nature is reaming the county for an even more massive atrocity. The 8.9 magnitude earthquake and now tsunami has hit the North East coast of Japan primarily Tokyo. Homes, buildings, as well as structures and people have been completely destoryed.

Is this the middle of our Planets destruction? We have been formely warned. It has been said that before the year 2012 that we as humanity would experience The WORST disasters known the mankind. That every so million/billion years humanity has got to start over.
We have been warned about the dangers of not taking care of our planet and unfortunately, i believe along with many scientist that we are too late.  The mass call for active recycling, use of hybrid and economical vehicles, as well as the call for coal fired power plants to shut down is all too late.  Our carbon emissions have been too wide for too long.  And if we had a chance to save our planet  it was years ago. Our ice caps are melting, our poles are experiencing mass opposition.

This year i can personall attest to  dramatic weather changes in both California and New Jersey. Although California is typically warm on Christmas Day. It was oddly hot (needed an air conditioner) during the month of January and February.  Now California is experiencing heavy rain and cold temperatures that is abnormal for this part of year. New Jersey on the otherhand although experiences flooding this time of year (http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/03/nearly_5_inches_of_rain_falls.html) The snow storms this past winter have been extremely heavy. Niether of these are extreme circumstances as those being experienced in Asia but i believe the United States is not far behind. California has yet to experience their heaviest magnitude Earthquake. However geologist predict it is coming very very soon. Furthermore due to the Earthquake/Tsunami/Catastrophic event  in Tokyo, Japan. The West Coast of the United States is predicted to experience an over flow of the disaster. Beach cities have been advised to limit traffic and for people to stay prepared.

At this point my fear for this planet, myself, and humanity have reached an ultimate peak. However my awareness that this is out of my hands and in the hands of a higher power. My belief in God and faith that we can prevail/rebuild after these disasters, allows me to come to an unsettling peace. Although life for me hasn't been personally effected by these disasters my hope, heart, and prayers, go out to all families effected by Hurricane Katrina, the recent BP Oil spill, Tsunami in S.E Asia, the Earthquake/Tsunami is Tokyo Japan, and all life that has been effected by both man-made wars and mother nature's natural disasters.

La Weekly's Article

 http://blogs.laweekly.com/informer/2011/02/how_to_take_ecstasy.php

My response as Keeping it plur:
First and foremost EVERYONE needs to educate themselves on EVERYTHING you intake whether it be a hotdog, ecstasy, or expired groceries. although all results vary the article has validity. "the best decision is an informed decision".
the problem is that young kids are not educating themselves and they think ecstasy isn't that serious or life threatening but it is. and you can't keep popping enough is enough.
-Just like drinking there is a point to where you are beyond wasted. At the time you don't feel drunk however as your drinking , its 15-20 minutes after the drink that things start to kick up.
Some believe the more E you take the stronger the effect but since the drug takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes to take affect most kids get too anxious so they keep popping. Also the frequency, if you're doing that once a month or whatever the going rate is the less likely you will feel it by the time something -that is really worth the experience comes around- its pointless.
I think this is a great article for people who don't realize how to control themselves to wake up and realize hey take it easy, enjoy the music, dance a little more, and bring an unopened water bottle and refill it. [If a may mention Nocturnal which is sponsored by GROOVE tickets (not livenation or ticketmaster) had FREE water refill stations and attendants who did it for you.] No one wants anyone one to die. Especially at raves. I only wish the coliseum (which obviously isn't holding these events anymore) would realize they don't have to close the entrance/exits to the coliseum. Its upsetting to everyone which back fires on law enforcement.
> Ravers don't go to Raves to die or fight! Violence is the last thing anyone wants to do there especially under the influence of E.
MOST IMPORTANTNLY-
**To people reading the article thinking that this is about "How to take Ecstacy" it's not.
Just like Planned parenthood isn't encouraging people to have sex. It's about making the information available to those who need it or knows someone who does. 

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian on CNN's Piers Morgan

I am currently watching the Kardashian sisters on Piers Morgan. 

Although Piers Morgan repeatedly tries to attack their unity and accomplishments, the Kardashian sister's intelligence and self dignity definitely shined. This interview really showed what a Prick Piers is and how strong the Kardashians really are. The entire interview was from a negative stand point and completely rude. I was so offended when he said "would you film your own death" or something relative and he totally falls into "why wouldn't you?" As if they are just little girls running the streets in the name of Louis Vuitton that would film they're own death? Really? you have got to be kidding me... I think Ryan was right. The only reason why Piers Morgan wanted the Kardashians was for the followers.

Every question he asks is sort of rhetorical, in a way that every anwsered he directed back to himself to make a judgment. When he brought up how they use Twitter... to choose "pink or red lipgloss" the Kardashians came back strong Kourtney said how it always helps her decide. Kim said "thats how i came out with the colors of my fragrance" her fans help her decide. He couldn't handle it. He bought up Kourtney's child birth -being shared with the world. He said "is anything private anymore?" 

Kourtney shares how they did the film of home video and watched it before anyone else. It really was beautiful. The he tries to punch back by saying "is there anything you won't do on camera" which is is so vague. As if he sees every detail of their life through tvs and cameras. 

Morgan also introduces what he is going to ask them about after a short break but then repeats himself . He redirected every question to deliberately get them to pick a side with questions like "does it bother Kourtney that Kim is more famous?" "is Kim the richest one" "What's the most they splurge on themselves everyday" Just jab jab jab. "Do they think they're over exposed?" All the way through the interview the sisters held their ground and originality. Watching the segment almost made me Physically sick because of his ignorance and opposition. 

However the match concluded and even Piers had to admit "it's been fun."

Dada Life/Avalon Drama 11.5.10

 i was on my way to Avalon for the Dada Life concert when things started to get crazy.

 As me and my friend Ric exited the fwy from the 101n there was craziness to begin with. We were planning to a) win the CONTROL concert ticket giveaway via facebook OR b) buy a ticket there. However everything was really intense because it appeared to There was a helicopter
flying over the vicinity @ like 12:15ish as we pulled onto the street i can tell there's something wrong. While

waiting At the traffic light intersecting Vine and Hollywood blvd. no less than 7 cop cars go by full speed, on the

on the wrong side of the street, and sirens blaring. It was extremely frighten and alarming. Furthermore this all

happened before the light changed. Unfortunately my friend was being nosy and complicated and decided to 

drive around the club and see what else was happening (against my advising).As we're driving around the area
cop cars are flying by literally it almost seems as though they're not touching the asphalt. When i found out

that the club was being shut down due to the VENUE selling too many tickets i was alarmed as to WHY

there were SO many cops driving so frantically and the helicopter scouring the streets. Many of the clubbers

were scattered and walking to their cars and trying to find their friends in the midst of madness. Within another
20 minutes police officers were shoulder to shoulder barricading streets, alleys, parking lots. It was a

complete mess. I understand certain events have a respective sensibility but the LAPD completely respond

out of context. The venue sold too many tickets and reports that no one was seriously injured. I was so

worried for people that were there because i was led to believe by law enforcement that the situation was out

out of control.
The people that attend these events are not the enemy its the venues and the organizations. I think the city of

Los Angeles needs to communicate with the organizations who throw the event and STOP STOP responding with violence
please. It is alarming, extremely upsetting to everyone, and unnecessary. However clubbers please be respectful
of the officers trying to do their job in assuring no one gets hurt.
Dada Life you owe us one ;)
