Snowball

This almost died. But then I went to an event that needed posting about...


Start out with this one via KvB's audible coffee... It's mellow dubstep and I love it:
Rihanna - What's My Name (Blackmill Dubstep Remix)


Let me first say that Snowball was great. Everyone that I wanted to see and then got to see put it down. I was honestly not disappointed by anyone I was excited about seeing. Porter had some technical difficulties with his power cutting out, but everyone else was able to put up a dope set regardless of anything that might have come along.

I will say that my single favorite moment of the weekend was when Bassnectar dropped David Banner's Play into his set. It was only like 30 seconds, but i love that beat and was happy to hear a throwback. Go to 1:30
So Sick!
I was also dancing with a dope dancer when that came on. Which brings me to my "grinds my gears" section. How are you going to dance with somebody sexually for like two and a half hours and then after let them in on the fact that you have a boyfriend by having him come and pick you up. I mean.... what the fuck is up with girls talking massive game up here and then just acting like they were just being friendly about stuff? Cause you might have been on drugs or drunk but you still know what you're goddamn doing...

Oh and to the other person that I'm super interested in right now... how about you stop being so damn hard to get in touch with? We hung out, it was a good time, we wanted to hang out again, it's now been like 2 weeks and no fault of my own. I can only text and call so much.

Bitches be Wildin!


Back to Snowball... Diplo was bananas. The dancehall/afrikaans type stuff that's popping up in his music more and more frequently is really really dope to dance to. Porter was great. Pretty Lights was mediocre at best simply because I didn't like the music. They put on a good show but the music wasn't my cup of tea. Savoy was incredible. I hadn't seen them but they were dope. Classixx threw down on some 80s inspired groove shit that was super fun. Bassnectar, like I already said, was fantastic. Baths and Afroman were the dopest part of Sunday. Flaming Lips...not my vibe. Eskimo was basically a poor man's Baths. He was basically trying the same stuff but not getting even close to as technical with it. Eodo was pretty good. Cool to see some old guys killing it.

The weekend was an overall triumph...with the exception of the ice to slip on, the puddles to soak in, and the mud to cover your clothes with. Concrete venue next year.

Now all I want to do it go to a great trance and/or prog house show. That was the only thing missing. And you all know how much I love my techno....




Check this little re-master I did of: "Let Go" by Frou Frou
It was just an idea I had had for a while and thought would work. It turned out pretty decent.




I'm out! Don't be a slut!
