New directions 2008 08.01.
you’re going to see a shift towards two (seeming) extremes from me this year – drumcorps, and ambient tunes a la lost tracks. overall there will be less dance music / ragga jungle / dubstep etc. i might produce a few of those tunes here and there – but what i’m feeling lately brings me back to my roots – hardcore and melodic music with something to say – and i’ve got to keep true to inspiration. as i grow more okay with myself, i’m looking outward… traveling the world the past few years i see a lot of division / enforced alienation / many different sides of all stories – & i get just as angry as i was at age 15 – but this time with the sharpness of experience. there’s also a sense of pervading calm & well-being curiously mixed in there. all of this is going to be expressed in the new tunes. accordingly, i’m accepting fewer ragga jungle & breakcore sets, and more drumcorps and aaron lost tracks type sets. a limited number of dancey sets will happen – like bangface’s weekender party in april, and some selected shows in europe & asia, but the focus is shifting. could all change tomorrow, but that’s where i’m at now. the changes aren’t going to be thaaaat radical in their core, as it’s always come from the heart, but different flavors ebb & flow as always. stay warm out there.
