For those that don't know what Dazed Out has become... and also why we have DRAG deejays...

What seperates MEN from LARD...

Tonight is...



We're so close to meeting our sales target for this month. Never before. We're close but it'll be a fight till the finishing line for sure. I'm glad I've a well-driven team to work with. Only frustrating thing is that some cellulite bastard still wants to wreck disarray with his "politics". We're all working towards the financial success of the company, what's the point of your bloody personal agenda? You don't want us to achieve our targets? Okay, fine... than what the fuck can you bring to the table?

Here we are trying to get some kind of synergy going and there you are throwing a monkey wrench into the engine. What gives?

Fucking irritant!

Nonetheless, nothing's going to break our stride today. It's not only for personal satisfaction, it's also to make a point. Something which you (the irritant) will never understand. It's the nu-skool... deal with it or stay in your pre-historic glory days.

Stupid as stupid does

The result of carry too much heavy load on your fucking head? Your brain becomes compressed and you become stupid as fuck.



This incident just happened earlier today. I was woken up around 12 noon by a loud screeching sound, or at least that's what it sounds like to me. It went on louder and louder. I went to the front door to investigate what the fuck was going on. My neighbour's old mother was attempting to discipline her hellspawn grandson, right at my doorstep.

"Yakkity yak yak yak!"

"Oei! Stupid fuck! Why the hell you talking so fucking loud right in front of my house?"

"Boy naughty. He no listen. I scold louder until he listen!"

(note her broken english because back where she's from, their ENGLAND not so POWDERFUL)

"Stupid old hag! If he no listen, you scold louder also no use. He'll probably end up deaf from all your high-pitched voice. Try throwing him down 10 storeys, he might listen then. Now get the fuck off and stop making so much fucking gargling noises! You sound like a fucking chicken about to be slaughtered!"


By the way, I didn't make any of the above up. Neither do I make the stereotype.

Pain and suffering in various tempos



The pain that I felt a few years ago is back again and...
I HATE IT!

Bloody delusions!

My poor back!



After shifting yet another ridiculously-heavy portion of vinyls from one flat to another... I've made up my mind :

1. I'm getting rid of EVERYTHING regardless what value some may be fetching at eBay. It's fucking crazy. I have about 2000 tunes in good quality sound file format on my external hard-drive and it doesn't even weigh a thing! In total, I shifted about 300 pieces of vinyls and my fucking backbone is aching like shit! The unfortunate thing is that I still have about 1000 plus more to "take care off". Who the hell invented this cumbersome media format in the first place?

2. The next time I moved, it better be for GOOD! I can't go through all this shifting shit again! When I'll be able to get my own place again is another issue altogether. With who or what, is completely none of anyone's business.

3. Considering the amount of "memorable artifacts" I own, I should really just toss everything out once and for all. Nice memories should be keep in the heart and not via some dusty little godforsaken table ornament. I have too much junk!!!

I've gone soft...

Haley Bennett & Hugh Grant
"Way Back Into Love"



I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past
I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Noise is shit...

Seriously... WHAT THE FUCK? Not only is the unit above me just started renovations, but the one below is still ON-GOING after 50 fucking days? And both done by the same cannot-make-it contractor who for no reason, loves to start work at 7.30am in the goddamn morning! I mean 50 days and still fucking drilling and making a general din? What are you fuckers building? The resurrection of the 9/11 Twin Towers? Which decade you intend to finish? It's fucking 4.30pm on a fucking Saturday and your EXTENDED permit does not allow you to make so much fucking noise! Bloody labourers from across the fucking border!!!!

And upon complaining to the "relevant" authorities, the stupid officer says, "nothing much we can do about it!"

Then why the fuck are we paying taxes in the fucking first place when these fucking civil twats aren't even doing their bloody fucking job? What the fuck's wrong with all these statutory boards?

This country is fucking warped!!!

Brain-dead!

This is my brain, or rather the content of it. Not that I'm an airhead, just that today as I sit in front of my Ableton set-up hoping to do some work on the next TWO promotional CDs for Dazed Out and Progressions, I found myself staring blankly for almost an entire hour... I realise that I'm out of anything creative. The inspiration department is gravely dead like a Mexican town on a hot day.

Damn it. Perfect timing. Just went I got a remix offer from Lo:Go Records to do a remix of Fragma's "Toca's Miracle" for a 2007 re-release. FUCK!

Don't know how, don't know when. Zero on the gear shift. Fuck it. I'll go ring some buddies and ask them for Nasi Lemak breakfast now.

Next Saturday, I'll be back in military outfit, indefinitely. Long story. In fact, can't say much either. It's a matter of national security actually. So if any of you happen to see me carry my field pack, alongside some military gear... you'll know why. No thanks to some fucking pointless issue we're having with our "neighbouring" country. Fuckwits!

Round and round...


... coming back to where you started with each round!



Going to beginning studio work on the follow-up to last year's talked about Progressions Megamix CD which was given away during the memorable Barbaablackchic party. At least that will distract for a while... away from what's bugging me!

posted by Adminstrator @ 5:59 PM 0 comments

Realization...

After yet another quiet night, I couldn't really get to sleep so I started to think about the issue that's has been bugging me... from foundation to the tip and I have to admit it... despite what's being "done"...



No disrespect to anyone but that's the sad truth. Sorry if I have heavy feet and if I don't seem to portray much enthusiasm lately. That's because I still have the strange feeling that everything's still dwindling at Ground Zero when the very issue of "awareness" and "sense of identity" is not being addressed.

Round and round. Oh well... whatever!



On a side note of redundant products without any point to it...

Calm before the storm?

Ministry of Sound parent sues Singapore franchise

Sujin Thomas
Sat, Nov 17, 2007
The Straits Times


THE London-based parent company of the nightlife giant Ministry of Sound (MoS) has filed suit against its Singapore franchise, alleging a litany of shortfalls in the way it is run - from the kind of music played to its unstable website.

MoS filed suit in Britain's High Court of Justice on Thursday, seeking damages and a court order to force its Singapore licensee LB Investments to fall in with its guidelines on running the club.

LB Investments is a subsidiary of Singapore mainboard-listed company LifeBrandz.

MoS has alleged, among many things, that LifeBrandz's focus has been on promoting its stable of other nightclubs in Clarke Quay, such as The Clinic, Fashion Bar and Lunar.

Court papers also said the MoS Singapore website has 'often been down or inaccessible'.

LB Investments is also said to have breached its contract in the areas of staff uniforms, music policy, door policy and the dismissal of key employees.

The bottom line: It had 'failed to develop' the club here 'in a manner consistent with the reputation of the brand'.

LB Investments signed the contract in April 2005 for 15 years and threw a big bash when the 40,000-sq-ft party venue opened in December 2005.

The lawsuit caps an almost year-long exchange of letters and talks, which MoS said 'was never taken seriously'.

LifeBrandz chief executive Clement Lee said: 'We don't think these breaches are of any substance. They have claimed certain things and I don't think all of them are true.'

He added that his lawyers from Rajah & Tann would draft a reply to MoS.

Besides the alleged breaches of contract, MoS claims that it is owed $200,000 in royalties which were due in April.

But Mr Lee said he was due to pay only next month: 'Their claim of our not paying them the money is ridiculous because the contract is not even due.'

MoS International's president Michael Wilkings, who has visited the club here, told The Straits Times on the line from Dubai: 'The breaches are material, substantial, continuing and unremedied. We are out of patience.'

He has been overseeing the nightclubs and bars under the MoS brand outside Britain for the past 11/2 years; MoS makes about $300 million worldwide every year and now has another franchise in Egypt.

He said: 'We have been trying to deal with Clement Lee and his colleagues through most of this year, to try and make him understand MoS Singapore has to be operated at a standard that is acceptable to MoS.'

When asked how MoS was alerted to these breaches, he said that, besides customer feedback, periodic checks are made on the group's clubs, some without the licensees' knowledge.

'We obviously don't have a lot of confidence in their ability to operate the club,' he said.

Rumours of an imminent closure have churned among partygoers since last month, when industry sources began speculating about unhappiness in Britain's MoS about the way the club here was run.

But as far as Mr Lee is concerned, the party goes on, since the franchise has not been revoked.

He said: 'There just seems to have been a difference in direction as to what is expected and what we're delivering.'

Down and out with flu, fever, sore throat and a mild cough due to the long hours and the slack of proper sleep. My whole body is aching as if I ran a freaking marathon. Very drowsy and tired because of medication. Not in the mood to bitch or rant. Not in the mood especially for any stupidity or redundant bullcrap. I'll take this time to get as much sleep as possible. Great weather to do absolutely nothing but to cuddle up and rest. Sad thing is that I only have ONE DAY a week to get some decent sleep (if there's no noise disturbance) and also... I've nothing to cuddle :(

Myth or truth?



And this is also why some end up becoming models...
... with no money!



On a more serious note, a topic that has been constantly discussed but never taken seriously...

DJing is not about stringing a bunch of tunes together!

If I were to explain it here, I might as well write a book and get it published. But for the sake of having to repeat myself like a broken record (pun intended), here's a brief...

DJing is only 30% technicality (not applicable to monkey DJs). Another portion is crafting yourself as a PRODUCT, acknowledging what's in demand and catering to it. Economies of scale comes into play. What? You think I don't know economics? Not all DJs are academically-challenged. Most importantly, networking and public relations. Lastly, you need to have a persona and not just be like any Tom, Dick or Harry. You need to command a certain charisma. Yes, it's true that a lot of sacrifices comes with it if you really want to make it a career... to the extend of affecting your private life... and your privates (in some cases). And the sad fact remains, out of 10 self-proclaimed DJs, only 2-3 will actually succeed... provided they don't argue when advised. In other words, "can means can, cannot means cannot".

'nuff said!

Fat people smell funny!



To the rude fat fuck thinking that I'm a fucking jukebox. No, I don't have any ROCK music. No Hard Rock, Soft Rock, Pebbles, Stones or Boulders. Speaking of which, you look like an obelix. And no, I don't play Hip Hop or MTV R&B crap. Retro, Euro-Techno Trash or dunno-who-the-fuck "DJ Funky Toes". Why didn't you ask the Caucasian guest DJ before me? Simple, you've either no testicles or you simple disrespect all local DJs.

By the way, you stink like a fucking sweat soak. It's like a tub of lard gone bad. Not to be rude but, dude... why do all excessively fat people smell so fucking putrid? Most importantly, why are 80% of the fat fucks that I've met so far, all so fucking STUPID! Too much cholesterol in your brain?

OK, if any of you are offended by this and think that I've hurt your goddamn feelings, I'm sorry. When I say FAT, I mean those that cannot bend forward and touch their toes. There's a vast difference between FLESHY, PLUMP and FAT. For the sake of argument, when you pee, can you see your penis? If the answer is yes, you're not FAT.

Anyway, such genetic misfits are made by God for the sole purpose of keeping the rest of us entertained... like so :

You're so fat, the back of your neck looks like a pack of hotdogs.
You're so fat, when you stepped on the scale it said, "To be continued!".
You're so fat, people jog around you for exercise.
You're so fat, you got more chins than a Hong Kong phonebook.
You're so fat, yours legs are like spoiled milk - white and chunky!

And seriously, I'm getting fucking sick of the DJ booth being so accessible to the punters. It's too fucking inviting. Either they start placing their drinks / bags on it or they simply have this urge to walk up and irritate the hell out of me by asking for stupid song requests. Especially those that don't take "NO" for an answer. I don't have the fucking time to explain to you "WHY" either. I think if nothing is done to the booth, when I go for my army re-training next year, I'll smuggle out some barbed wire.

PCK Pte Ltd is still the best!

The flat of the new "neighbour" downstairs is still undergoing renovations. Unbelievably, it's been over 45 days and they're still at it; hacking, hammering, stomping the yard, drilling, knocking, raving and generally making a general environmental nuisance, despite being fined for doing work way after the 30-day permit has expired as well as for giving everyone in the block a migraine on a Sunday! Notably, my next door Indian boy (Satan's spawn) feels right at home amidst all the noise. He's a "Banglah labourer" in the making, you see.

It has led to me to believe that upon completion, this residence right below my flat will boost it's own mega-shopping mall, MRT station, multi-storey carpark, the Eiffel Tower, a food court, a multiplex cinema, an Olympic sized swimming pool, the Esplanade, a nuclear shelter, the Grand Canyon, a golf course, as well as it's own private airport. All contained within 110 square metres. Word has it that the owner wants to put in an integrated resort as well... sadly they're running out of space and that will now have to be allocated in his kitchen toilet... a.k.a. WaterWorld.

Either that or the fact remains that the "imported foreign-talent" workers (from across the Causeway) are fucking useless, unskilled and goddamn slow. Now you know why who's the best in Singapore, Johor Bahru and some say even Batam? Go figure!

One celebratory dinner later...

Yesterday was such a perfect day. It was one of those days that (almost) everything went accordingly to plan... and more. Just being able to bring a smile to the ones we care about is just so fulfilling, regardless of the sacrifice, time, effort or cost. Most importantly, it's a day I'll treasure for a very long time to come. One of those days you'd wish that will never end. I look forward from hereforth...

... in the meantime, more music therapy!

********************


Last night we began to exercise the use of drink coupons for the poverty-stricken foreign models that frequent the venue for their weekly pointless ritual. As usual, they started whining, complaining and bitching. Hello?! Make so much noise for fuck? You got no right as a consumer because YOU'RE NOT A CONSUMER in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, all you bunch of wankers and bitches are fucking waste of space!

"What? Only SIX? That's not enough for me!"

"Too fucking bad. You want more, you PAY!"

Go ahead, complain some more... if you only knew what's the final plan to eradicate this stupid charitable cause once and for all! I don't know why but every time I see them, I get this urge to throw a spitball at them. I get this fucking sick feeling and all of a sudden, my shoes become extra heavy... and I start dragging myself. Having a room of musically retarded audience and some of them dance like it's the circus. Such a downer! I can't wait for the next "appreciative" gig. Saturdays are killing whatever passion that is left in me... and I'm tired of putting up a "show of interest" week in and out.


Six-day week... I'm reaching a point of burn-out, due to many many factors. One of which is the lack of a social / family life due to the working hours. Also the unnecessary "politics" that some people still insist in playing. Then there is also the frustration of playing to a floor of narrow-minded idiots that still come up to ask for music that only monkeys will like. Lets not forget the bimbos that think the DJ booth is a luggage counter. Lastly, I don't know why but I tired out easily nowadays... speaking of which, I'm off to take a nap! Not looking forward to this coming week... to be completely honest.

Body aching... feverish...


And this late Sunday afternoon, I have the new Athlete's brilliant new album "Beyond The Neighbourhood" on repeat in the background to keep me warm... or should I say, melancholic.

I'm going through changes or destruction?


Here I am, I can't give you anything
Here I stand, I can't turn away
Here I am, don't want to cause you pain
Here I stand, alone and on my own again


The more I divert BACK into House music, the more it's making so much more sense... soulfully, that is. The above tune is about over two years old but the lyrics are just so heartfelt. And because of the genre's ability to evolved within a wide boundary range, old as the tune may be but it's downright timeless. Personally, it's a great tune to listen to anywhere! At the beach, on a rainy day, in the car, watching planes flyby, taking a shit, getting all emotional after too many drinks and etc.

Undoubtedly, soulful House has no market here in Singapore because the general clubbing audience don't have a soul for music. They just want big drum rolls, stupid euphoric synths, dirty sounding crap... and UMBRELLA! Speaking of which, I truly think people that really appreciate Rihanna are either born retarded or have suffered permanent head damage. I bet you didn't know the lyrics of that song was actually written by a monkey with a vocal stuttering illness.

Ah... speaking of retards... it's Saturday "Charity" night again.

Nothing else to say...



I need a break... a long one, away from here!

Life sucks and then some!


Right now, I just have the urge to throw in the white flag. Nothing seems to be going fine or remotely right. And I'm really tired of my life. Excuse me if I've been ultra unapproachable or moody. Really not in the mood for anything at all.

Once a Mode-y... always a Mode-y


Oh, little girl
There are times when I feel
I rather not be
The one behind the wheel


I've almost forgotten how twisted, dark and coincidental Depeche Mode's lyrical content are. The first time I got into them was when everyone were still listening to cheesy European crap like "Square Rooms" was after I got my heartbroken for the first time in the same year of my GCE "O" Levels. The album was "Some Great Reward" and there was no turning back after that.

The song was "It Doesn't Matter". The delivery and lyrics may be hard to contrived at first but in times of loneliness and despair, they will hit you like a 3-tonne truck.

"It doesn't matter, if this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I'm praying that we're staying
Together."

Ever since, I went into anything that has got to do with synthesizers... Erasure, New Order, Yazoo and etc. Thus started my dive into electronica.

Till today, I still go back to Depeche Mode whenever I feel lousy or down. No matter how old the album(s) are, they sound timeless and they kind of remind me that it's okay to fall because we're human after all.

"Empty rooms..." - Gary Moore

Festivals of lights? What lights?
Dark as hell!
Hope? None.

*MEGA SIGH*


Pardon me. I'm just in a very bad place of my life at the moment... mentally and physically. Excuse me if for the next few weeks or so, my music seems either too damn cold / dark / dark / aggressive. Of all the pits I've fallen into, this one will no doubt be a fucking turning point. I'm re-assessing all lot of things right now. I can't keep going in circles and not get anywhere. I can't keep dealing with the same old shit week in and week out. I can't leave my life in gear one all the while. I have my aspirations and if some things are killing my passion for what I truly love, then I have to make the sacrifice and cut those dead weights off. Crossroads... decisions...

*looking at cards on the table*
