Groovers and Shakers,
Thanks to all of you that came out for BASSgiving last Wednesday, making that event such a success for the second year in a row. It's funny how much I feed off of interacting with you folks dancing, but it's really vital to me, and for that very reason, despite such a short set at Shine on Friday night, I haven't felt that much in command of a dance floor in a while. I look forward to a couple of more opportunities before the year ends to exercise those feelings again.
Looking back, it's beginning to feel like a long time ago that my former roommate and I finally put a name to our emerging musical interest of breakbeat, and he had impulsively ordered a couple of CDs, among them Plump DJs "Eargasm" and Adam Freeland's "On Tour" mixed CD. This latter disc was 'borrowed' by Yours Truly, and still sits on my "stuff-to-be-returned-to-friends" shelf (meaning I've only held onto it for the past....uh....6 years). The mix was an epic, sprawling exhibition of classy breakbeat, confirming my love for Uberzone, and introducing me to the slammin' producer Bassbin Twins, breakbeat mainstay Ils, and the trippy sounds of Radioactive Man, Fluke and Forme. It was a perfect segue from the tweeky-beautiful mixes that were our bread-and-butter at the time (Deep Dish Global Underground Moscow, Sasha & Digweed's Northern Exposure 2 - East Coast Edition), and today still stands as a mix that inspires me to try to construct something like it one day, (and in many ways, my Burning Man sunrise set was a step in that direction -- soon available on www.opulenttemple.org)
Tomorrow night, I'm playing a rare midtempo set to support Adam Freeland and his recent Marine Parade signee MartyParty. I'll be playing somewhat more funk than crunk, but I'll be sprinkling in some midtempo techno and nu-disco for good measure. My set starts at or not long after 11PM.
DETAILS:
Friday, December 4th, an-ten-nae presents and Opel Productions come together for a sweet night of eclectic future foward music featuring the multi-talented and multi-faceted Adam Freeland Dj set.
Mr. Freeland's range has grown each year as he's continued to impress with his ability to rock you in a myriad of ways. His full length artist album Cope he released with his Freeland Live project continues to give him momentum and his sound refuses to be pigeon holed. Breaks, indie, nu-disco, and then some....
This show will also feature fellow Marine Parade label artist MartyParty from PantyRaid bringing a mid-tempo vibe of glitch, dubstep and crunk.
Main room support as well from
Syd Gris & Dex Stakker.
Front room bringing the midtemo whomper crunk all night long!!

Who I'd like to meet: People that love people. People that love music. People that love breakbeat. People that love film. People that love movies. People that will wear freaky stuff amidst the squares. People that will wear square stuff amidst the freaks. People that love sport (especially when they throw in that "manship" part). People that love to help. People that love life.
About Me:
"I'm a guy who loves people, especially when they find a way to get along, and for that reason I find myself wishing that I had been born here in San Francisco. No matter, I'm here now. I've taken a seemingly late interest in spinning some records, until I realized that I had been doing the same thing (foisting music that I am passionate about on other people) for years on a single CD player. It tooks coming across Uberzone's "The Freaks" in 2002, coming across Hyper's "Wired" in 2004, and seeing Smoove and Fred Funk spin at a Love Parade 2004 to wake me up and realize that. For better or for worse, it's 100% about the music.

Dex - You were by far my favorite dj at Burning Man, thank you so much for tearing it up. In fact Adam Freeland was quite the disappointment after your set so I left Opulent!
Your mixes keep me going through the work week and I appreciate them so much. We gotta get you booked out here in CO! :)
So, Just wanted to tell you that I FINALLY got my computer set up at home!! :) I'm officially a happy girl. I was able to finally put some new music on my iPod and I put Exorcising on there. I've been listening to it at work today, and let me tell you....nothing better to listen to while doing number comparisons for 2007-2008.
