Fat Planet 2005
6 January 2006
One of my tracks is featured on Fat Planet's download compilation 2005. A great idea from a really great blog ( I found a bunch of interesting stuff off of there this year ). Go there for the links and the artwork.
I dunno though, 2005 was a bit shitty for music. I had some ecstatic times on the dancefloor with dj Cameo spinning Grime and I had some great nights at breakcore parties (very old school). Ricardo Villalobos got some genuine depth out of that old techno thing. Ward 21, Beenie Man and Sizzla got some great tracks in. But it was a really hard year to blow any minds. It felt muted, like everybody was unsure to do anything or feel anything.
Lots of reasons for this. This affected my own music quite a bit. Technically and emotionally and musically I made stronger stuff than I've ever made. Musically I grew a lot. But it didn't fit into a scene. Damn them scenes. I think I've finally worked through it, and I've got some releases lined up for 2006 that I'm genuinely excited about. But it was a battle this year for me to find relevancy in the music network.

- Speed dating
Matt Shadetek just wrote up an article for Dubspot where he explains my theory of Speed Dating. This is where you make lots of quick sketches and then only finish the best ones. This way you don't get stuck trying to "solve" some problem with a track when the truth is the track's whole energy and fate was determined in the first few minutes. He explains it quite well and talks about how he and Rupture write together. http://dubspot.squarespace.com/blog/2010/3/3/dutty-artz-studio-knowledge-production-speed-dating.html ...

- Masinqo Ethiopia Remix for Maga Bo
I'm working on a remix right now of a track by Maga Bo called Ransom. He recorded this Masinqo player while he was traveling in Ethiopia and wrote a track around it. Now I'm doing a remix for a digital release. The other mix is going to be by Pacheko (Venezuela, whose been sending me some nice dubstep tracks recently that I've been playing out). So today I'm wanting to study up, conceptualize the relationship of the elements and energies. ...

POV video from STS-124. No film director or composer could make anything this epic. Even Stanley Kubrick would tone it down or try to resolve it to edits and angles. The adrenaline builds, and at 2 minutes your mind beings to blow. The ending is truly beautiful, don't miss it. A camera gets lost in Aruba on November 11, 2009. A turtle finds it on January 15, 2010, films this refreshing shoegazer video and becomes a YouTube celebrity. The camera ...

I must admit that while I walked across the bridge to Zimbabwe Bob Marley started playing in my head. Sunny, windy, I'm smiling to myself. But they wouldn't let me in because the visa sticker is too big for the remaining space in my passport. I walked back to Zambia; they wouldn't let me in unless Zim stamped a denial. Back to Zim. Self-important immigration guy is on break, lady wants to gossip with friends and not listen to confusing ...

Solar Life Raft Ingredients
Timeblind
-
coltan and cassiterite Timeblind
The unmixed ingredients from Rupture and Shadetek’s Solar Life Raft. Including two tracks by me: Coltan and Cassiterite and Space Cadet (which came out on last year’s 12” on Version)
I’ve been waiting/yearning for Coltan and Cassiterite to come out for much of last year. I was about to release it myself just to relieve my own tension waiting for it. Anyway, its on a good home: The Agriculture and the reviews have been great so far.
The title refers to two of the minerals that are mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and are components in portable electronics like cel phones. Its one of the unfortunate driving forces behind continuing warfare among the militias in the Rwanda/DRC border area.
