No Prisoners!
Life having taken a turn for the unusual recently¹, I’m working and not DJ-ing.
Rewarding though the work is, however, I really miss the DJ-ing — I do so love to party … and there’s nothing in this world that quite matches the experience of knowing, as you watch the crowd rip up the dancefloor, that you are in the midst of playing a truly spectacular set².
So, some time in the (hopefully) not too distant future³, I must find time to put in a special appearance somewhere and play one of my infamous 4+ hour eclectic sets, taking people places they wouldn’t have believed possible⁵ and leaving them on their knees, exhausted yet begging for more.
In the meantime, however, here’s some stuff for Stephen M. and Aura to listen to … not to mention Arona Jones⁶.
I’d link to them but, every time I do, Medium informs Youtube and they’re removed before I even finish writing the post — kurt gasbarra should be able to point you in the right direction though.
In no particular order ⁷ …
Johnny Cash — Personal Jesus
Crash Test Dummies — Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
Jace Everett — Bad Things
Parov Stelar — The Mojo Radio Gang
DJ Hero — Heard It Through The Grapevine vs Feel Good Inc
Cage The Elephant — Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked
Adele vs AC/DC — Rolling In The Black
C2C — Down The Road (Zetyd Remix)
DJ Champion — No Heaven
Melleefresh vs Deadmau5 — Hey Baby (Burufunk’s Dirty Mackin’ Remix)

¹ I was offered an opportunity that was not only sufficiently lucrative but, in and of itself, already appealed to my social conscience and is, furthermore, likely to result in some interesting future possibilities — so,I’d have been a fool not to take it.
² All modesty aside, even you yourself recognise that you done good this time.
³ It’s an unusually long-term engagement this one — it looks set to last until at least next year (possibly even longer) … and I don’t normally agree to contracts over three months in length!⁴
⁴ If I can’t get it done in three months then you’re a no-hoper and the project is a waste of not only my time but a waste of everyone’s time — it’ll never come good.
⁵ Madonna vs The Monkees, Kylie vs NiN, FYC vs the Chilli Peppers, Marilyn Manson Manson vs Pink Floyd, Elvis vs minimal techno, slit-your-wrists-dark breaks and jungle, sleazy progressive psytrance, dirty electro, filthy dubstep, in-your-face jump-up d’n’b and neurofunk, screaming ‘twilight’ psytrance, you name it — whatever I think will fuck with your head the most next 😉
⁶ Who really needs to broaden his horizons and improve his taste in music 😜
⁷ I’m just playing around, seeing what works and what doesn’t.
