" I'd call myself an optimist. I'm of a cherry bent. I think if one's insistent that things wont go well. one's going to make sure it doesn't go well, in order not to be proven wrong."
I'm in love with a feeling
I know that it shows
I'm in love with a feeling
And I don't care who knows....PD 2005

Fame, like a wayward girl, will still be coy
To those who woo her with too slavish knees,
But makes surrender to some thoughtless boy,
And dotes the more upon a heart at ease;
She is a Gipsey,will not speak to those
Who have not learnt to be content without her;
A Jilt, whose ear was never whisperd close,
Who thinks they scandal her who talk about her;
A very Gipsey is she, Nilus-born,
Sister-in-law to jealous Potiphar;
Ye love-sick Bards! repay her scorn for scorn;
Ye Artists lovelorn! madmen that ye are!
Make your best bow to her and bid adieu,
Then, if she likes it, she will follow you. KEATS

You Are Animal
A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.
"Kill! Kill!"
"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
--Hunter S. Thompson
My Gorgeous Sister Kerensa:
GnT in The Land of Oz
You Are a Dreaming Soul
Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul
In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.
About me: Tamsin began spinning at the tender age of 13...buying jazz funk tunes to play at school discos and her mates house parties.Early clubbing @ Billy's, Gaz's rockin blues, WAG, Le Beat Route, Cheeky Petes, Crackers, Embassy, Camden Palace and The Africa Center. She teamed up with her sister Kerensa in the mid eighties to form the TK Experience, and hassled the Boiler House boys till she got a warm up slot at their legendary nights across the UK playing along side Trevor Fung, Colin Favor and Carl Cox. Tamsin was an original member of the Fresh and Funky crew with Brian Norman and Femi, playing a hybrid mix of Hip-Hop, funk and house which led her into the immerging rave scence of the late eighties. She got her first residency at the Astoria thanks to Nikki Holloway and Pete Tong, who were running TRIP/SIN. From there her mixing skills came into demand with another residency for The Orange Club at Camden Palace, and Babylon at Heaven via various other seminal London nights including RIP at Clink St, Pirate Club, Telepathy, World Dance, Jungle Fever, Vivid etc. In 1991 Tamsin really made her mark in the origins of DnB as resident at Sunday Roast , the original and best jungle night in history, playing along side legends like Grooverider, Colin Dale, DJ Ron, Mickey Finn, Hype, Kenny Ken etc
During the day Tamsin worked as a studio engineer at Power Plant Studios in west London, honing her production skills ready for her first release on Lafayette Records, more followed on White House Records and then a great partnership with Guy Called Geralds label, JuiceBox. Tamsin remixed Reverence for the seminal Insomnia album by Faithless and has since been signed to Rennie Pilgrims TCR label as part of BREAKNECK. She mixed CD1 of the TCR50th release mix compilation.
Together with Pete Parsons, they have now started their own breaks imprint LondonBreakz Records and have a weekly slot on award winning internet radio station BreaksFM. Tamsin has been DJing as part of BREAKNECK and now on her own steam the world over. Recent events include Glade Festival (UK), WMC Breaks Day (USA), CineTrip (Hungary), Blue Cheese (Italy) HUM (UK) Satisfaxtion (Spain) Urbanizacja (Poland), Frisk (UK), Independent Sound Club ( Sapin) REWIND (Hungary) Secret garden festival (UK)
Catch her live every Saturday 16:00 - 18:00 GMT on BREAKS FM
I've been makin and playin with music for the last 20yrs..perhaps thats why I escape into usually dark reading matter and admire creative people who have had to struggle to get their voice heard...I dont see the music business as a joyous place to be...Its a constant test of my ability to accept criticisms and lay bare my inner most emotions, hence my lack of prolificacy.. Im getting there...
"Works of art are indeed always products of having been in danger, of having gone to the very end in an experience, to where man can go no further." Rilke (1875-1926)
After the good start of Melt (a.k.a Tony Thomas) with Quantum Process EP issued for PERCENT REC it's now time for the second release.
Our label offers rather different and more eccentric sound this time!
The much talked about japanese producer Shin Matsura is already a part of PERCENT REC's team.
Shin has accentuated mostly the experimental sound!
The most emphasized-on moments that have been chosen by the producer are a kind of somehow very dark, minimal and deep tech taken as a whole.
Shin Matsura who is avant-garde and quite harsh sometimes will introduce you in a deep and obscure atmosphere where you will be able to transfer your consciousness to.
You have the opportunity to buy this EP from Beatport, Juno, DJShop and other online stores beginning from 30 October 2009.
