"The art of lounging..."

NOTE : My latest collaboration work with the new-comer World Music producer Christopher Barker from Arizona entitled "Terracotta" goes on air this week. Currently streaming on this blogsite via the flash media player. Licensed non-exclusively to Taiwan's Hi-Note label for a yet-to-be-titled forthcoming compilation. :)

Erm... don't expect any TRANCE or whatsoever remixes done to it. We like it the way it is. It ain't broken so it needs no fixing! Slow ethereal voice staccatos set to an ethnic melody... flowing through with an inviting downbeat.

Shameless... I know... so sue me!

And my current obsession...



... Baccarat and statistics!

Progressions Podcast - Anticipate 4 by P@T
(Trance)

Yeah, I know we've been too quiet on the forefront of things. Both P@t and myself are really caught up with our own jobs and basically trying to build some kind of stability there instead of relying on the flaky club scene. Hope you peeps understand. Some things have to take a backseat when real priorities beckon. But you never know what the future holds. You can never write off a brand that's been around for quite a bit. In the meantime, we'll try to fix you up regular with home-brewed mix sets. Check out Patrick's latest offering. I'm flattered he's using a remake of mine which I did as a mockery to Tiesto's retarded music. :p

Uploaded into my iPod this week...

Not a single electronic / dance piece... :)



Besides the lullaby of Sigur Ros,
it's gonna be a brutally metallic week ahead!

Holy cow!

The Iron Man full scale helmet with glowing eyes...
Last seen and sold at the current
Singapore Toy & Comic Convention 2008.

This one made my knees weak!!!

Hello stupid!

Just when I thought it couldn't get anymore idiotic... a phone message came in about 10 minutes ago and it really takes the cake! Seriously, some of you fuckers are damn cock! Doesn't anyone use their fucking brains anymore? Or has the stupid really inherited the earth?

"Hey Yukun, where to buy Pioneer CDJs?".

Do I fucking look like an information counter? Since when am I a Pioneer distributor? Hello?!! Ever heard of the fucking YELLOW PAGES? What about trying GOOGLE? Fucking lazy arse! It's not called the information highway for nothing... numb nuts!

Fine, lets take it as if you're really clueless... then please try the neighbourhood 7-11 store. For the entire month of June, they are giving away one Pioneer CDJ-1000 with every $2000 purchase of Coke Slurpees.

Stupidity 101



It's been awhile since I last checked my e-mailbox. Having some time to kill today in-between watching the Californication TV series (courtesy of P@t), I decided to see what's in the in-box. After deleting about 5 tonnes of spam and party-invites, I came across one which is so deserving for the "MORON OF THE WEEK" award...

"Hi Yukun,
I'm a regular listener to your shows on Lush FM. I'm keen in becoming a DJ and would like to ask where you get your music from so that I can play like you. Can you teach me? Money is not an issue."

Thank you for listening. However, please use some common sense before asking any questions as they may end up revealing just how dumb you are. If I were to tell you where you get my music from, that would entirely defeat the purpose of me being paid to have my weekly shows on radio when every Tom, Dick and Harry has the same material as I do. I know money may not be an issue for you but the reason I don't teach is because I cannot stand stupid questions or repeating myself over and over again (and that happens during lessons). I don't teach because I think the industry is already flooding with too many half-baked "talents" and "start-stop DJs" who have already bastardized the scene beyond any salvation.

I didn't reply your email because I'm sure you'll end up reading my response here. Do feel proud to be immortalized in text and thanks for listening (reading).


And the runner-up for the week... an ex-colleague who complained to me that he has not had an OFF day for almost TWO weeks now and is clocking in way over the supposed hours-per-week requirement. Look, idiot... isn't it bloody obvious by NOW that the company you work for doesn't have your welfare at heart. Why the fuck are you giving your life to them (physically speaking)? You don't have shares in the company anyways. If they don't give a fuck about your life, why should you give a fuck about being dedicated to your work? Some things are worth fighting for, some aren't. If you don't have the balls to quit, please stop complaining then... it's getting fucking tedious just to hear you repeat the same old sentiments every now and then. GET UP AND GET A PAIR OF BALLS!

By the way, I personally think RETARDED (infected) MUSHROOM is utterly numb and uncreatively boring.

Guess what?

OK, I admit it, I'm...


... AGAIN! Maybe I'm not really cut out for something that has a strict routine regime. Maybe I'm destined to do my own thing? I know for sure that I can't work with fat retentive bitches. Sigh... what to do? What to do? Damn it! Time to hang on a while longer and look for something else in the meantime? Contemplation time again. Argh!

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

SMS received this morning : "Hey, did you know Paul van Dyk's coming next month?"
My reply : "Hey, did you know that I don't give a hoot?"


Stupid as stupid can be!


It's fucking true. The black man is right about the white man. Y'all stupid! And I can proof it over and over, almost each and every day with enough concrete evidence that will make the jury head-bang in unison. Take today for example :

White dude walks in and asked "Yo, you guys sell blank CDRs?"

NOTE : the usage of "yo" is a slang commonly used by the African Americans. What I can't understand is why the Caucasians (like Eminem) still insist in trying to be black and yet subscribe to the philosophy of "white supremacy". Make up your mind, please!

I replied, "nope we don't."

This wack-job probably thinks I'm lying... "are ya sure?"

"Yes I am sure."

"You wanna make a check for me?"

Just how fucking big do your think the store is that I don't know what we stock and what we don't?

He continues to say, "I'm sure you do."

"We don't and I'm pretty sure of that?"

"Are you certain?"

At this point, I excused myself to say I've got a phone call to attend to. And why doesn't it surprise me that this fucking idiot goes on to another staff to ask the same fucking question and insisting that we check if we had a secret private stash of blank CDRs hidden in the ceiling or something.

Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with some of you pale skins? Not enough sun or something? Just when I thought we had finally defined STUPIDITY, here you people go again to push it even further up the scale on a daily basis.

Morons.

Another of your type... asked if we give discounts.

"Nope, the prices are FIXED as listed."

"So no discount at all?"

F.I.X.E.D. = NO D.I.S.C.O.U.N.T.

Idiot.

That explains why KING MORON is in the White House.



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


On a side note, I'll be stepping back into the "studio" to work on a mix CD for Pioneer with their MEP-7000. From what I understand, the CD's a freebie for a certain range of their DJ products throughout Asia during the 3rd / 4th quarter of 2008... or something like that nature. I'm not at liberty to reveal too much. By the way, what do you mean the gear is ONLY ON LOAN? Fine... my studio time and copyright clearance work don't come cheap then and boy am I going to abuse the DJM-1000... :p

The evil that men do...


Oh... Aleister Crowley! A film by Iron Maidon's Bruce Dickson!

It'll probably never see the day of light here... so dear "local authorities", don't fault people for resorting to downloads and not respecting intellectual property rights!

RE:COLLECTION
(Epic House)
[online 26th June 2008)]


An archive of my early promotional mix sets are being unearthed and are being made available on the Yukun Podcast this week. Considering how boring and stupidly "glowing" the current electronic dance music scene is, I think there's no better time then to go back into time and revisit one's roots. Each mix has a little chapter of my life on it. Read them at the podcast page and see how the past shaped the way things are now... although what's available today is somewhat of an uncreative ear-ache.

I miss those days when club owners and the people running them knew their shit and had a common goal, without any room for idiocies or career back-stabbers. It was all about the music, having a good time and making history. Everything was less militant and more enjoyable to be involved in. Today's current climate really kills the interest in a matter of months.

When clueless fat bitches piss me off...

I think I'm not fated to be an employee. Perhaps I should really consider joining my father in "risk management", afterall, he seems to be doing fine all these years with his "secret" formula. Should I stay or should I go?



Why do I care?

For the person(s) that keep sending me phone texts regarding whatever upcoming DJ competition that he/she is taking part and asking if I'm attending and etc...


... I can't be arsed. Really!

Fat Of The Land



Yeah... right! Only to a specific breed of people. Namely those that are bossy yet clueless but superbly anal retentive lava-lamps with legs. You're fat means YOU'RE FAT. You're not meant to do the things / activities that ORDINARY people do.

i.e. BEING A MANAGER AND ATTEMPTING TO LEAD A TEAM!

Newsflash. It's either you're a born leader or not. In your case. NOT! You stupid oily turd!

Deutschland delights!


I told you so!

Good luck Chelsea... with Scolari. Much as Portugal did put up a good fight, they were somewhat predictable in everything they did. Cristiano Ronaldo was virtually absent the entire match. And as with previous outings, Portugal chokes once again at the Quarter Finals. Good luck Chelsea... Scolari is really as creative as kid with a set of primary colours canyon. If he had played a game of chess, it would be over within minutes.

Clover-what?


It's finally out on Blu-Ray but I seriously don't see what the hype is all about; considering the amount of customers asking for the Blu-Ray edition. For those who have yet to see this show, try not to watch it with a full-stomach. Not because it's a "stylish monster flick" but it's rather the laughably point-of-view shaky camera work (ala Blair Witch Project) that gives you motion sickness. Notably, the producer J.J. Abrams is renown for the unnecessarily draggy LOST TV series and thus this movie too suffers a serious lack of a back story. Besides the clever character-development, I personally think there's nothing else earth-shaking about the story of a monster that demolishes New York City. I think all those 9/11 conspiracy theories are far more intriguing compared to this nauseating 84 minutes of a DUD.

If you wanted to know how Parkinson's Disease is like... this is it. NEXT!!!

What people should seriously look out for is something under-rated like...



It'll leave all hardcore Star Wars fans rolling in stitches throughout it's 30-minute entirety. Best spoof ever! Heck, it has voice talents of Mark Hamill, Hulk Hogan, Seth Green, Seth MacFarlane, Malcolm McDowell and Conan O'Brien. Wait for it... due in July :p

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

For the certain person that emailed me regarding my last posting on all things FAT, you say that I'm very insensitive and rude. You even went as far as to say, fat people have their beauty too. Well, excuse me for living and for telling it BRUTALLY TRUTHFUL like it is should be.



Beauty you say? No matter what angle I look at this, I fail to see your fucking rebuttal. Perhaps I'm missing something here... like inbetween the massive layers of lard? Like I said, I don't really have anything personal against people who are OVERWEIGHT (politically correct) or WAY-FUCKING-OVERWEIGHT (biologically correct), but I certainly have some beef (pun intended) with FAT BITCHES who act like THEY KNOW and are bloody ANAL RETENTIVE at the same time.

God gave us a sense of humour. Sorry that mine is twisted. Deal with it!

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



As for tonight, the sure-bet goes to Germany. Portugal may be good but Germany's got Paul van Dyk (although he's of Dutch origin) and a very fine-tuned soccer team. Their chemistry as of late have been really impressive and very creative.

Still complaining?

To same friends who are still stuck in an aquarium of stale water...

The sooner you admit that it's over,
The faster you'll be able to move on.
The past sculpts the present,
The present dictates the future.
The time is now.

Waste Of Space And Air...


If you think this following post is offensive... then what do you call people who look like lava-lamps with legs? OK, seriously, if you weigh over 350lbs and you know that you disgust a lot of ORDINARY people just because you're a lard-ass, please stop reading my blog... ever again! But if you really want to know why there are like a trillion "yo mama's so fat" jokes, then read on.



1. Fat people like to think they are aren't fat.
Admit it. YOU FAT FUCKERS do! It's just a bloody crime to see a fatty trying to buy normal-sized clothes. Are we suppose to feel bad that they can't fit into it or just continue to snigger? Come on now you tub of guts, fat means fat. You're out-of-the-ordinary. Accept that fact and roll on
!



2. Fat people are disgusting to look at.
Picture this (or not). You're at the beach, and some fat bitch in a two-piece swimsuit with rolls of fat sloshing like an incoming tsunami is trying to wake-board. And you say it's rude to point and laugh. You're fucking ASKING FOR IT! Seriously, instead of banning smoking in all sort of places, there should be a law against over-weight people in some public places and against some meant-for-normal-people activities as well.



3. Fat people are unfuckable.
NEED I FUCKING SAY MORE? Fat men have tiny cocks and fat women have massive
VAGINAS. That's VAGINAS in capital letters.


4. Fat people smell funny.
They do. And why? Because these living sacks of butter have more crevices and many will go unattended, hence they stink. A fat woman however, will not smell as bad because they spend more time in the shower getting to know the shower-head on a personal basis... it's the only thing on earth that will be able to stimulate their huge oily cunts.



5. Fat people aren't tough.
It takes a lot of discipline to be tough. And it's tough for a fat-fuck to say NO to a chocolate cheese cake or a candy bar. In conclusion, they're all WEAK!




6. Fat people are always eating.
The rest of us can eat and not get fat because the NORMAL human body is able to process and burn off food at a regular pace. The body however, can't handle the pounds of cheesy fries, hamburgers and fried food that fat people eat. Here's a suggestion... go vegetarian and stop eating as if you've got a village of Vietnamese farmers in your stomach!



7. Fat people are lazy.
You know it, I know it. It's not easy to move around with so much meat on you.



8. Fat people are not that smart.
Medical fact. They need more oxygen through out their body and thus depriving their brains. With each passing day, more and more brain cells die due to carbon dioxide poisoning in the blood. Sooner or later, they'll all end up as retards.



I could go on but I don't want to be the sole reason for a sudden wave of suicide by fat people; and neither do I want to be a full-fledged rude bastard. Like I said, I don't think that all fat people suck... just the particular idiotic few that I've dealt with in the past and present. Don't feel so bad about yourself though, being fat has one HUGE (excuse the pun) advantage though...



But to summarize... in all honesty, would you rather this?


Or this?



I rest my case on the redundancy of being fat!

Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge...

There's one (or more) in every company. You're bound to meet one (or more) in this lifetime as it's the work of Satan and his attempt at world domination. But I'm not prejudiced against fat or visibly large-with-celluloid people... (I'm going to Hades for this lie)... but I'm really against overweight individual(s) who

(1) thinks the entire world owes them,
(2) loves to argue for the sake of being right all the time,
(3) acknowledges ownself as bitchy and not sociable,
(4) doesn't know that respect has to be earned,
(5) has PMS every day of the year,
(6) and THINKS that they're far more superior in every way than NORMAL people.

Well, one thing for sure; you reign supreme when it comes to buying clothes..
.



By the way, never EVER accept my offer to buy you coffee no matter how convincing the tone of my voice is. Fact that you already know that I DON'T LIKE YOU A SINGLE FUCKING BIT! Well, that explains the amount of cerebral matter you have, swirling amongst the fatty tissues in your brain. Nonetheless, I'd like to confess in front my blog readers. I hope you enjoyed your "designer" coffee because it added a little something extra just for that extra "oomph!"



I'm kidding! It's not my booger. Would I be that disgusting, predictable and uncreative? And no, you're not lactose-intolerant. It's just a little something called LAXATIVE in liquid form. It was certainly hilarious to see you running off to the toilet every 10 minutes. Since you're such an unpleasant swine with very little friends, I thought it'll be cool for your sore fat ass to be more familiar with John.

Remember, the worst killer is not one that rebuttals verbally or protests to your crap with a "black face", but rather a silent one. And you just had the misfortune to meet one. *ahem* ME!

Please continue to piss me off on a regular basis as it'll keep my scheming mind to be alert!

I'm sorry if this posting offends anyone but...




... I don't really care if I hurt your feelings. Don't be envious just because the rest of us NORMAL people have a higher body metabolism and that we don't have a weight issue to worry about. Call me nasty. Call me rude. I'm not running for any elections or any popularity votes so I don't fucking care!

p/s I'm not insinuating that ALL fat people are like such. You know what I mean.

Yoda says, "Do you must!"

Tuesday... one more day of work before my midweek break. Envious? Don't be. Nonetheless, later today during work, I'm going to...


... i.e. I'm going to serve a healthy slice of reality
to one excessively bitchy tub-of-lard!
