Yesterday, quite late at night in all naturality and courtesy of 6 Figures Gang on rinse.fm. I heard the perfectly timed rewind**. How is that possible? In all actuality or technically it is not. It was by pure coincidence and something that is not entirely inconceivable if you happen to listen to rinse.fm propagating from… Continue reading I Just Heard The Perfectly Timed Rewind Or “Wheel*”

Conflicting Emotions
East or West? Crips or Blood? The love of my life did not like that I dressed in blue. It is true that it is a very long time ago, it was very serious nevertheless, I still like the color blue, and I like red as much as that I like blue… East or West?… Continue reading Conflicting Emotions

It used to be called “hardcore” and I for one think that it is still a deserved title. It is properly intense music, that I’ve come to understand over time. Rude soundin’ music. The best kept… Continue reading Hail, The Haley Brothers!
Electronic Music From The Lost World: 1998-2001
Of course it had to come to this. The lost battle, what extraordinary music and the sentiment is very much retained. That would be ASIP and you’ll find the digital version here: 1998-2001. The title is excellent, by the side-way. After all it is: Christian Klein.
