Ended Up in the Discussion of Crowd

Last Wednesday, or last week, I attended Egha performance at Kampus, at the rooftop of Imperium Tower. He performed at 1 am, so it was Thursday. Crowd are dancing, but not clever enough, because it seemed the crowd like the electro commercial house tracks than techno / tech house presented by Egha. So what's wrong? Local EDM lovers should have known this.

On a friday night, Ijash had his first public performace as a DJ. Niteflight, Kemang is his first club to spin. I quite smooth in the beginning until someone keep interupting the DJ. Just let the DJ take control please, not ruinning the mood. At 1 am we moved to Willow, where Phunktion is held monthly. This was their 59th edition.

And some friends who have their first DNB gig tell us that they found a different atmosphere, friendly, and very danceable. And I said it's not as good as you think. I have experienced DNB gig with massive atmosphere than this 59th Phunktion i.e. Phunktion 48 on 27 November 2008 in Embassy Club, Jogja. I said, the Jogja crowd is crazy men! Crazier than Jakarta! So we're talking about the crowd. Jogja crowd is willing to go to any gig of different musical genre. But Jakarta crowd usually will go to certain gig, usually electro commercial house music.

OK you better study about both cities. You should get involved the scene, so you can compare by yourself.

Story from March 2010

So what's going on this March?

Anyway on Saturday night - 6 March - me and Egha attended to the Phunktion 57 - a monthly drum & bass event held by the Javabass, the biggest drum & bass group from Indonesia. Actually we bring two of Egha's friend to the event.

The performers are Jerome, Random, DTX, and Celcius. As usual Jerome open the deck until 12 o'clock with liquid funk and jungle stuffs. And then Random continued the show with trendy DNB, I mean the recent favourable DNB tracks. And then DTX continued the show with neurofunk and other cool stuffs. There, DTX also played his own production. My favourite is DTX - Cosmic Saga.

And also me and Latenight Ramadance crew are gathering at Kemang. But me and Egha were stuck at Mc. D cuz our car had a trouble. So we couldn't follow the other to the other place. Ijash, Rangga, Mara, and Ibam is moving to another place I forgot the name to discuss Ijash's tracks to be released in Ibam's label - Control Records. And we continued again gather around ar Mc. D till 3:30 am.

Plan to DJ

These days... yeah I'm delaying to go to Tangerang, cuz I have to wait for my new teeth haha..It's getting boring you know.. Browsing internet everyday is tiring.. But yeah, I got some good songs from SoundCloud. The most popular genre is dubstep and also DNB. Yeah someday I want to make a DJ set or mixtape. But you know, mixtape is not suitable word I think - although it becomes a new term. I prefer to say DJ mix/set. I will make a dubstep set and also drum & bass. Maybe I will send it to my friend to be featured in his podcast, and to be aired in internet radio. I will try that.. If I make a regular podcast, I have to update the songs every month at least. How can? Cuz I don't have money, credit card, my paypal is empty. I think it's not the right time to host a podcast. I will distribute it irregularly to people...

Broken Teeth Again

You know I was wrong couple of day ago. My plan is changed. I have to go to dentist again to make my new artificial teeth again. My teeth are broken last Monday - if I'm not mistaken. So I have to extend to stay in Jakarta for couple of day. Starts from next week.

Today, my throat is not feeling good. I think it's because of bad weather.

I think it's time for me to go back to Kramatjati, because it's almost 3 pm. I have to take a rest. Btw I drink 2 mugs of coffee today. Not anymore for today, it's not good. Maybe I will have a tea tonight... or just a plain water.....

One Morning in Jakarta

Good morning!

I don't have a breakfast yet, just a mug of coffee. Maybe I will go outside to warteg.

Today's plan is.. I want to go to my bro's house in Kramat Jati. I will keep the house there.. for a couple of days until the weekend. And then I will be back to Tangerang meeting my friends.

Anyway as usual, I am just wasting time with this laptop. Huh, it's my time to check the career info on some sites.. Do they already update it? Because it's Monday, the day when employee start to work. And also I am listening to music from SoundCloud. A lot of new tunes uploaded there. You can also listen to my music here.

OK, my coffee is ran out now...

What I Do in My Hometown

Oh apparently it's already February 2010. I missed the January blog post. But nevermind I posted something in my music blog.

These days I still busy come and go between Jakarta and Tangerang. So I have a little time to do my hobby, because I don't have a laptop. My project is saved in a computer in Tangerang. What can I do? So I schedule myself to settle in Tangerang from third week of the month. I will do something there.

And until March, maybe I will go home for some time. I will do gardening there, digging a ditch, and walking around the village from beach to mountain. I will be playing my cassettes and CDs and tweet everything I want. And also I will replace my twitter, it's not working. Yeah I want to enjoy my life peacefully.
