Updates

Streaming on this blog site's media player is "La Canna", an unreleased album containing a collection of works from the past 3 years. It's electronic-based and every track is very much a reflection of specific times of my life. Most of which were featured one time or another on Lush 99.5 FM. Some have been re-touched and re-worked. I've avoided any specific genre in hope to create tracks which are timeless. You can say it's very self-indulgence without any profit / attention agenda. Welcome to a window to my soul.

Another crappily mixed CD promo!

God, what the fuck is wrong with some people? Everyone wants to be a DJ, isn't it. But for the wrong reasons... mostly. Reality check, you may be the most technically-inclined and most upfront on the block but that amounts to nothing is you don't have a marketing angle. Sure you want to get into The Mixtape Collective, by all means, submit your mixes and etc. Like I said, we get a lot of promo CDs in the physical mail as well as in the email. It's virtually IMPOSSIBLE for us to listen to every single one of them.

Here's a hint. A promo-mix CD is like YOUR resume. You won't print your resume on some half-fucked paper with shit loads of grammatical errors, would you? You would want to grab attention at first glance. So if your promo CD or your email is like every other Tom, Dick and Harry's... forgive us if it doesn't grab our eye. My God, some of you certainly are fucking lazy... with zero presentation and pride. Seriously... what's with the use of really cheap and ugly CDRs?

Sorry, I don't think I'm harsh. I do give credit where it's due. Effort in presentation is an indication of your seriousness and your attitude in life. Nothing can quite match up to one's attention to detail. Never mind if you fuck-up one or two mix transitions in the mix... but a haphazardly prepared promo CD is certainly UNFORGIVABLE. It's your fucking calling card... have some fucking pride in your own work... CAN?

And for God sake, if it's a CD, please put in track idents. I hate having to press the forward button! Don't know how to flag your mix? Then don't bother sending... please! Here we are trying to do our part to help you got your works out to the rest of the community... least you can do is be decently presentable!

p/s no offense but don't take too kindly to RETRO / BLING BLING R&B / EURO CHEESE
