Long story short... I was introduced to "electronic" music in general only about 3 and a half years ago but for me it was love at first listen. I lean more these days towards funk, disco and deep house, a notch or two up from the bullshit I was first hooked on. I used to search for something obnoxious to dance around stupid to and now I feel the music must be a little more layered for me to enjoy. I appreciate the build the most....
I would have to say my personal favorite producers/DJs are Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Lee Foss, Miguel Campbell, and Maceo Plex.
Anyways, I have been highly anticipating the release of Hot Natured's Spring 2013 album! The work has begun and they have given us a little sample...
In case you missed it a while back....
I just want to watch his little ass shake and touch his silly little fro! There is something so sexy about this style of music. I picture myself sipping mimosas by the pool... oh I wish...
Two days after attending Beyond Wonderland, I am still feeling like an old woman.
Let me start by saying it was a super great time. The weather sucked and we had a little of a run around picking up our tickets, but in the end everything worked out.
Norman Doray set us off dancing at our arrival.
Jamie Jones and Seth Troxler were outstanding! My back still hurts today from shaking my ass so hard.
Green Velvet did not disappoint also.
Hardwell brought it... well, pretty hard. Ha. Kept the energy levels way up for sure.
Spent a few hours in Cheshire woods to stay warm. Really pleased with how well Chris Leibing and Adam Beyer played. Everytime we caught someone, the next was even better. We caught a big chunk of Dubfire's set but after a while the repetitive untz untz really got to me, his stuff is pretty dark as it is. By then I could hardly muster out an ass wiggle anyways. I'm wishing now I had brought a better camera but because it was raining I opted for my Kodak easy share so most of the photos came out complete shit and the video is awful.
This is the first rave I have been to where I haven't been F'dangled on drugs. Proud of myself to say the least, but holy hell, not rolling sure did a number on my back and we ended up leaving to the hotel early. A little bummed we didn't catch Digweed but there will be plenty of more opportunities later this year I am sure.
Excuse the terrible quality of photographs...
also here is a video I found. I did not take this video. but its the only decent one I can find online at the moment
So... with a fully loaded bank account and dance ants in my pants, me and the coolest mother-fucker I know, decide we buy tickets and head to Beyond Wonderland in San Bern Ca tomorrow.
Spontaneous...Yes.
This is the year to see stuff and things.... I am excited to say the least!
Mostly excited to see Seth Troxler and Jamie Jones. John Digweed and Green Velvet will not be missed also!
Better get to working on a rave umbrella: forecast = rain with a SLIGHT chance of RAVE!
