After spending the last 2 weeks in Bella Sicilia, eating loads of fresh pesce, doing daily aperitivo's and having excellent wine, I was looking forward to another jam session with the Maschine.
Last night I found some time to kick some summer breeze ass and composed the following snippet.
One more round then it's bottles to the ground.

We do not need no laws! We are peace and love! Rasta Vibration!

Lately I got my hands on my man Kinky B's latest demo.
His band Luie Lovers, a reggae outfit based in Ghent, went to Amsterdam and skanked away a couple of very nice songs!

These songs inspired me to mashup some self-made beats, blend in some rasta vibes, use a hell of a delay and get the dub atmosphere going.
Oh yeah, I want to dedicate this song to my partner in crime Lex, who is celebrating his birthday today. Happy 1 to you buddy!!

This week I got a funny email in my inbox. It was in fact an assignment. The email only contained the following mp3 file attached:

(he is briefing me in dutch with a very french accent...)

In fact the guy wanted me to make a snippet in E minor using the chord B as well. He will use this snippet for his test of solfege, he wanted me to use midi, but hey that would be too easy. So I've played some guitar and bass and came up with something nice.

Let the good times roll! Like my colleague Ox is saying all the time.
And in fact he's right.
I am in an optimistic mood for the moment, the Seville madness is over, a small VJ set is coming up and there may even be a show in Cochin's cricket stadium in Kerala...
What could you want more? A nice narkoba snippet for example?

Cheers!

I am having the blues people! Recently I saw a nice documentary made by Martin Scorsese presenting the blues. Immediately I was hooked. I've found a nice collection of songs recorded at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in 1947. I liked it so much so I decided to make a snippet out of it: No More My Lord!
