The Ambient Mafia is a San Francisco-based DJ collective that specializes in downtempo, or chill music.
Back in 1999, a group of chill DJs decided to band together to represent the side of DJ culture that was more interested in creating a cool atmosphere than in what the Future Sound of London best described as the “indiscreet blowjob” side of the DJ scene.
Not that we don’t love getting indiscreet blowjobs. We do. Especially our girls.
Anyway, the Mafia quickly made a name for itself on the then-thriving massive scene. Promoters soon learned the value of having a skilled downtempo crew in their chill rooms, as opposed to their wannabe DJ friends trainwrecking their way thru a crate of trance b-sides.
With a few exceptions, the days of the massive are over, but the Ambient Mafia continues to be a visible presence on the local scene through residencies and appearances at venues like Mighty and The ACME Warehouse.
Times change, but the Mafia mission remains the same – to give people music that makes them think and dance and … chill.
Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
...just stopped by to wish you a Happy New Year and remind you that now is the accepted time to make your annual new years resolutions (next week we can begin forgetting them as usual!)... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
As you know, we're doing a "No on 8" Fundraiser with the Friends and Family crew this Friday.
We've got a great lineup, and the party's for a good cause. There are easily over 1,000,000 LGBT's in California and unless everyone starts stepping up and donating, equal marriage will lose on Nov. 4th. Polling shows that amongst those who've seen commercials both pro and against Prop 8, the amendment loses! That's great news, which is all the more reason to get as much $$ into the No on 8 Campaign as soon as possible.
Please come out and support!

The phenomenon is tunable in that the characteristic sounds and intensities of those sounds depend on the characteristics of the RF energy as delivered... Because the frequency of the sound heard is dependent on the pulse characteristics of the RF energy, it seems possible that this technology could be developed to the point where words could be transmitted to be heard like the spoken word, except that it could only be heard within a person..s head. In one experiment, communication of the words from one to ten using ..speech modulated.. microwave energy was successfully demonstrated. Microphones next to the person experiencing the voice could not pick up these sounds
