09 Mayloud and not rusty at all

We’re heading for the new collision“! Yes, we are! Been a long time since I made a small review :-) .

This one is from “audiostylez be the name, music is the game, you know how we do it“.

The mix started a bit rough (just my opinion); I think it was a bit “all of a sudden”, but then right after 3-4 seconds I heard THE GOD (as one sweet twitter buddy says), Mr. Gerardo Roschini, Zatox for the hs scene. “My Life” doesn’t need any description for those who love hs – the lyrics are different and for the sensitive ones, it can bring tears!

At 4:09 it can be distinguished the next track coming up, a little oops at 4:25 – not judging here! But everything gets right back on track immediately. Just realized if I am gonna examine every second I wouldn’t finish not even in one week (I am already at the 2nd listening – for the half of mix)!!! From 06:35 a lovely track comes up – dunno the name; it started very well, by the way :-)

O.k., so, for any other surprises, who enjoys hardstyle should listen from 08:25 right through 31:45 – nice taste in hs! A little different direction for D-Block & S-te-Fan‘s “Music Made Addict” at 29:24 (have a listen, you won’t be disappointed).

Woow, making it louder at 31:47 with Zany feat. MC DV8 – Vision. Then something banging – from both the lyrics point of view, as well as the melody.

Another big “woow” at 40:08! Great great great!

One incredible track coming up (“The revolution will not be televised“) - Noisecontrollers – “Revolution Is Here“. Ooo another “legendary” masterpiece: Zatox – The Legend.

And the mix goes on smoothly, agh the dreamy sound (48:13) of God :-) I meant Zatox :) with “Winter” – makes me think of Acti – Spring.

Another all time favorite track which can be found on “Make it Loud”: Noisecontrollers – So High. Next, another beautiful track from Zatox, “Unite“. Then a lovely one from The Prophet – One Moment – originally an amazing trance song by Tom Sigmond back in 2005 (another all  time fav of mine and I personally remain with it). Not saying Dov hasn’t done a great job, but it’s just that lately some trance songs have been turned into hardstyle and trance is my first love – personal opinion, don’t throw with eggs/ tomatoes at me :-)

As this mix is ending, I can distinguish Melo anthemtest :-) yeeeeee! Nice blending with the last track which name I don’t know. Yeagh, fancy way of expressing myself.

“Gear” used for auditioning: Danish aiaiai tma-1 bk headphones (couldn’t find them in Fool’s Gold Edition) – thought they could use some more burn in… since they’re almost one month old :-) gotta say, they’re a tiny bit lower as definition and clearance of sound comparing to ATH-A700, but after a lon loong burn in maybe they will sound better.

To sum up this “small” review: Awesome! Been dancing at my desk the entire mix :-)

For all my twitter buddies, patience my sweeties :-) when I have time, I will review your mixes as well!

Who wants to have a listen, check it out here. Definitely worth listening!

09 Maycloudy

Just to be in sync with the rainy weather outside, remembered I have a couple of pics with clouds (or is it pollution mixed with clouds?!) from an almost sunny day back in September :-)

30 MarMy dream is to know why my nightmares never cease

She walks into a room full of people she used to know. There, in a corner it’s M: her eyes are red, puffy… she looks frightened, sad, abandoned. She holds tight O’s arm.

I looks alarmed at the syringe M’s holding and she wants to run but something is holding her back. M knows what I is asking with her eyes and she nods, pain clouding her look. M holds I’s gaze for a second… and I sees O’s profile. He looks creepy, with that weird grin on his face, euphoric…

So many questions run through I’s mind right now: is is the first time? (Doesn’t look like it!) Why? For how long? Is M doing the same? Why is she enabling him?!

And just like that I turns into the opposite direction and sees the new guy – who is he? where did he come from? what is he doing with C? Doesn’t he know that C only wants to screw with his mind…

He sure seems happy, excited, sitting behind that monitor and C behind him on that brownish couch laughing, smiling, already making a big plan in her mind… a plan which includes C, of course…

Then, all of a sudden pitch black and a bright light. I sees A. They’re talking. About what? About… toothpaste! “Toothpaste?” “Yes, we’ve ran out of toothpaste, let’s go get some!” A smiles (she looks so great when she smiles!) and grabs M by his arm. But M wants to take the car. “O.k., all good! But how do we put the car in the tram?” M asks and an idea rushes to his mind: it would be easier if they just drove on the tram lines! So they hop in the car, M is the driver. Ooops dead end! He turns on a dark alley and then comes up in an open road, but why doesn’t he drive on the road? It’s all clear, no cars! Why is he driving on the tram lines? Instantly all three get out of the car. They are about to reach the sidewalk… bright lights, shrieks, A’s mouth is moving, but I can’t hear her. I is only thinking the tram is too close! Run!!! But everything stops and she wakes up.

14 MarThis year will be insaneeeeeee!!!!!!!

A hardstyle track from 2009 caught my attention many months ago and I was eager to share it.

It’s the result of two newcomers on the hardstyle scene, Henrik Emanuelsson and Mattias Ivarsson, from Sweden.

They only have profiles on myspace, youtube and ubetoo.

The Year of Insanity definitely’s got the kicks, heavy bass and the breakdowns. Speaking of breakdowns, at 1:30 the track takes a great turn, trancey like. And then, immediately, it reminds me a bit of Headhunterz back in the days:

Hope I’m gonna see them some day performing at great hardstyle events :-) .

13 MarSarracenia & Venus

In August I became the proud owner of two carnivorous plants: Sarracenia & Venus Flytrap.

In the beginning it was a bit tricky to take care of them, mostly because it was very hot outside & I kept them on the balcony.

Back in August they were small and young. After reading online, just a few days after purchasing them, I had to provide a special sponge like, dried “soil” called Sphagnum; the one that I bought it’s called Chiloe Moss. It’s actually a wetland moss which has the ability to absorb and retain water. During summer at over 30° C (86°F) it retained water for 2-3 days, during autumn for one week/ two & during winter, because Sarracenia & Venus were kept in the basement, for almost 5 months. Together with the Sphagnum I mixed some perlite, medium grained (for hydroponic applications), granulation 1-4mm.

To water them (the Sphagnum) I only use demineralized water.

Both Sarracenia & Venus caught some little insects.

Another fact: after a couple of weeks the Pitcher tubes from Sarracenia and Venus’s leafs start to get brown, almost black & I cut them (but only the brown/ black parts and in the meantime new leafs are growing.

And I never touch the traps, because they are very sensitive and their mechanism can easily be ruined.

They are amazing, in a weird kind of way, so if you are looking for uncommon plants, without colored flowers, carnivorous plants are wonderful companions and they even like to listen to very loud hc music, or hs, some days vocal trance or Immediate Music.
