21/08/2023 - New EP; The Night Is Young

Another House EP I made and the last summer House EP for this summer and one of my favourite EPS from this year even though I just made it. I made it a month or two ago and has been up for quite a while now and I’m not sure if it’s getting the played so I now decided to give it a bit of a boost IE share it a couple of times. I’m 38 now and even though I’m getting older The Night is Still Young hence the name of the EP The Night Is Young and a tribute to all the late nights I had and still have but as I said I’m always on my computer now. The EP is more club vibes and I hope they are more to taste as I stripped back the tracks for more bass and vocals which I still think sounds better than the couple of synths and the bass and vocals. I tend to make tracks with just bass drums and vocals now which leads to a clearer sound I think. The craziest night is Young Saga was when I thought it was 4 in the morning when it was 4 in the afternoon and it was getting dark and I managed to stay awake till 12 the next day due to the confusion of time, I was messy and messed up lol. I am very grateful for all the good things that have happened to me minus all the shitty things that happened but I have everything that I need apart from the money I probably need a bit more money but apart from that I am blessed and thankful to still be here and enjoy life to the fullest with no regrets. Well, I have a few regrets but I’m living for myself and for anyone who cares to join me cos as I told the haters I don’t live for you I live for myself but anyway I don’t want to bore you with pettiness. As I said before I think people should be happy with what they got whatever it is and stop looking at others to compete or make them feel better as it’s unhealthy and a coward’s game and I don’t want to be anyone’s or even a sucker.  But at the same time, forgive people who want to be forgiven and if you trust them mend any broken paths in your friendship or love life, but yes I don’t think being a sucker is good luck as people will take your kindness for weakness and bleed you dry and all the niceness out of you or so they think. I must admit I like being nice but it doesn’t pay as a YouTuber put it and it’s so true but I do agree with being friendly with people who want to be friendly with you but not the haters let me get the hater blocker out! I actually miss dancing don’t know if I would get into it, it might take a few drinks but I do like to get up every now and then and shake a leg IE dance, especially with songs I haven’t heard for quite a while or feeling dramatically. I’ve played a few already on my podcast which can be found on this website or on Spotify Podcast as it’s free and a perfect place to put a podcast but I don’t think it covers copyright I’m not sure. Copyright has really put a bummer on making playlists for the internet to enjoy I made a few and most of them if all got a copyright claim I already got a warning and I don’t want to push it but I thought music was meant to be enjoyed and basically there should be softer rules on making playlists on YouTube etc there I said it, but it’s so fun making playlist I like to make visuals too.

Sunrise 89 Bumper Pack

August 18, 2023

The 12th of August 1989 which was a Saturday was one of the changing points of my life and partly made me the person I am today. It was late around 10ish at night which isn’t that late in my eyes but is for the four-year-old me. My mum caught wind of an event happening in a place called   Longwick in Buckinghamshire and she really wanted to see some live acts as at some or even most events you would get some sort of live performance by underground artists who were popularised by rave culture. I have a brother older than me by a couple of years and we each used to have a babysitter to look after us while my mum went out and let her hair down. As my brother was babysat by this person and I had my own babysitter and on the pretence that I would sleep the night away it was decided that I would go with my mum to this event. The event was called Sunrise Back To The Future and was if not the biggest event the Acid House promoters Sunrise and Back To The Future put on. It was hosted on a field off the M25 (a motorway/highway junction) and brought in thousands of people on this one field to party the night away. Being in the car on the motorway/highway and seeing in the distance what I now know to be a Ferris wheel and other fairground rides I thought that was funny I didn’t know they did circus at night and was new to me. Also to explain it wasn’t just Acid House music and live acts there were bouncy castles,  coffee stands, fairground rides, face painting and so much more and involved smaller businesses around the UK in order to put on the show. I remember walking through the field of the carpark and into the crowd and seeing all these people who looked aggressive but were friendly like anything which was confusing. It was also confusing seeing people on this field in dusk light due to the stage lights and other lights dotted around I really couldn’t put two and two together and was wondering what all these people were doing and being up so late or though I was four so being up in this darkness. Like my mum predicted I went back to sleep up until I was awoken by the promoter onstage who thanked the other promoters and took a five-minute breather for everyone to soak up the sunrise which was coming over the horizon and such a beautiful thing to look at. This was another turning point for me as I had never seen the sun peer over the horizon before and I started to wonder about the sun and its purpose. Thanks to UK kid’s shows like Playdays a popular children’s TV show from the 80s and early 90s I knew it was called The Sun but I didn’t know its purpose or understand the solar system but I did know or wonder that the sun was very hot due to the proximity of being close to it.  The crowd clapped, cheered and whistled as we all took several glances at the new day’s sun before the live acts came on the stage to perform in front of the crowd and carry on with the party vibe which was in full swing.

Music News – New EP; The Rough With The Smooth

07/08/2023 - New EP; The Rough With The Smooth

Another House EP I made about a month or two ago now but I just released it. The summer is nearly over so I probably start concentrating on doing more synths stuff and maybe my winter albums sometime. I still don’t know what to do whether it be Christmas or just winter or both who knows? I did my Halloween album for this year and can be found on all major platforms it’s called Tales Of The Darkside. I named the EP Rough with the Smooth as of course in life that’s how it is and I’ve done a full circle and came back the other way due to my mental health and the stresses of the jobs I was doing at the time. It was either staying and getting paid for what I enjoy doing in life or retiring early and working on my mental health and recovering from an already stressful world but on the possibility of me coming back and doing it again as the door was always open. I choose my mental health as I thought I could recover and come back and to be honest, this was in the 2000s by the way but it all vanished from my mind and I only remembered a couple of years ago when I was thinking back to the 2000s and before that. It was after the September 11th attacks the world got a bit downhill and things were being cancelled or put on hold which is when I was the most active but I saw the funding for things go down the drain and people lose their jobs it was quite stressful. I’m not that actual cut-throat when it comes to getting the job some people are just overbearing but at the same time, they do have their reasons. This is how I learned to take the rough with the smooth and not feel hard done by or take pity on myself as I never and I thought after all those years from the early 90s to 2005 I should take a rest as I always was on the go and living a happy and vibrant life. Now I like to stay in I used to have my dog Patch but I had to put her down due to old age which is another rough with the smooth outcome as I knew she wouldn’t live forever but I do miss her and going out a lot with her I live near to the country in the outskirts of Bristol in the UK so it was nice to get out and walk the country. Once I got stuck up a tree when the cows decided to charge me so I ran with my dog and kept her on the tree as I was taking pictures of my dog in her own world as she sat up the tree. In the end, I took charge and climbed down as they wouldn’t go then they decided to chase me down to the entrance where I escaped, she was a good dog though and I vow never to get another one because she was that good. I like to wake up every day with something new to do and that is something I am lacking at the moment which is something I would like to improve on but apart from being on the computer day and night it gets boring I like to get out there and do something new or old.Â
