Abdul the Indian & Drum n Bass Psychics


Played Poker today and sat with a guy named Abdul the Indian. Always funny playing cards with this guy because he vocally tries to rationalize every decision he makes but he does it with a heavy Indian accent. (like Apu from the Kwik-E mart) Makes me laugh every time I even take my headphones off on the side he's sitting on just to hear him talk - also that guy that called what kind of music i was listening to at random = trip bcuz its a really abstract genre - and he just called it

This guy drunk as a skunk just throwin chips around like crazy comes up to the table and says, "Hey whats up man hows it been?" I'm like do I know you? he's all yeah we played for 3 hrs last week. I'm like ok I dont remember but anyways a few hands into the session he looks at me, looks at my headphones, then looks at me again and says, "what kinda music you listening to Drum & Bass?" I'm like holy fuck yea how did u know. I thought my headphones were leaking sound or something which they werent. I was such in shock I handed him my iphone + headphones to let him in on what I was listening to. (which I almost never do unless someone is really a fan of music and I got something jive to let them in on)



this is wtf i was listening to at the time - now who would guess any other person at any given moment would be listening to this type of music = i thought we were underground (and i wasnt even wearing my everyday junglist shirt) - to put into perspective how rare this is there are at least 15 different types of electronic music alone, not to mention all the mainstream stuff ie. hip hop, rock, country = now if I had to guess what kind of music someone was listening to at random and I had $$ on it I would say rap or pop = after I asked him how he knew he said, "I dunno u just look like a junglist" (fuckin WorD that alone made my night - and almost instantaneously solidified my very existence in the movement)

after this happened he yells to his friend on another table wtf just happened then proceeds to tell me his friend MC's for ANDY C (world renown DnB DJ) - hell in a handbasket no reason to doubt him after what he just pulled.. I should've hung out longer and gotten good with these guys but i was hungry and wanted a burrito.

We'll see if I run into these dudes again - gang of psychic toughguys could be a formidable crew = pick the winning lotto #'s, smoke some chains take some names & kick your poodle down the street all in the same night - =d(*_*)b=

1st blog = Dub Step Evolution of EDM?

decided to start blogging
does this thing work?
  
So I've decided to start blogging. Not sure what the difference between that and FB is just yet, except I heard you can get paid for blogging. So here I go chasing the almighty dollar.

I guess your suppose to talk about stuff you know so I'll be discussing Music, Movies, Art, Science, Life & of course Poker. So check it out if you want cuz I'm sure to say some crazy shit !!! -- el oh el ~ Wiz





testing features of this added dub song by skrillex "cinema"

to anyone who thinks i fell off the original electro wagon & jumped on the train to Dub-town i havnt - im still not a big fan of dub, but some of it can sound dope = im just oldskool i guess

The sound of "Dub-Step" has taken over the electronic music world. Seems almost every electronic DJ now plays a variation of the sound in there routine. Dub-Step has a warpy bass sound and sometimes erratic feel not dissimilar to if a Robot was malfunctioning in one form or another. Having since been in the Electronic Music scene for over 10 years now this new genre is a little disturbing to me. (This coming from someone who's favorite DJ is Dieselboy, is an Everyday Junglist & frequently plays Happy Hardcore to mellow out at 4 in the morning.)  Nevertheless evolution in all forms, is part of life and if this is what the kids like nowadays then Rock the Fuck On. Some of it I have grown a liking to just feel that a lot of dub-step heads don't understand what I consider true electronic music.

To each his own maybe I'm just nervous this genre will break the mold of "Underground Electronic Music" having recently been in Britney Spears songs and God knows what else. Maybe I'm just confused there is a Genre more distorted than the grimiest Drum and Bass. Maybe It's a good thing, maybe it wont last 3 years. We will see.

and What the Fuck my first blog = DUb-Step Evolution of Electronic Music

I might as well have talked about the best way to make a grill cheese sandwich.

mmmm cheese......
