Underground Tech. /// Erotic Red

TGIF Peeps!!

So.. How are we this fine Friday? If you're reading this, you’re most likely tuned-into U.T.’s “Erotic Red”, Inspired by the sounds from Boudair Radio (Poland). I must say, I have been enjoying their podcast lately, sounds that capture my moods when in lingo or at ease, its perfect! If you have the time, Have a listen..

The seductive beats of Erotic Red was borne out of the dire need to program a mix full of chords that hits the soul (well for me anyways), A playlist of tracks that I for one could not resist to play. It starts a little moody but it does gradually take me to a place, where I feel the movement of my legs. Some would call it a “No-hands in the air” mix, which best describes the seismic pounce of every stomp from the knees down. There are plenty of ways to enjoy a good beat, I prefer to swag, front to back, right to left, it does not look jazzy, but feels just so right. HOW DO YOU DANCE??

It’s extremely difficult to cast a set without taking risk in the arts of four beat mixing, its even more challenging when it defies the notion that all beats match at the first beat. In English, Erotic Red Rocks!

Much thanks for tuning in and having a read..

Do take care,

Tropical Underground /// Ep#004 /// Taipei

Wow-wee..

So its just pass midnight (KL) On a Saturday night.. and i came across my old'blog which I created almost a year ago.. and I remembered how important it was for me to not only play the music that I love, but write about it too.. and its been a year since my last post.. Alot has happen since than.. musically..

Growing up in the great white north, a place I like to call home (Canada) was a musical blessing for me, I was all of 16years when I heard my very first beat of house.. and like us all.. FELL IN LOVE INSTANLY!! it was an illegal rave at an abandon industrial warehouse in Toronto.. truly underground.. an experience I'd give anything to re-live, definitely changed my life.. DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST TIME??

So.. what was I why suppose to write about?? right.. Tropical Underground Ep#004.. Its a series dedicated to deep house music, unlike my series of "Underground Tech." (U.T.) which is a little more Housier and Techno-ish, a faster pace of harmonic tecky beats if you will.. With Tropical Underground (T.U.) deep soulful vibes that would resonate through the deep jungles of the tropics, a place I recently been calling home (Malaysia)..

Taipei.. the album cover, I love to name my sets after world class cities.. its just something I love to do. besides Taipei is a beautiful city.. been there twice (not for djing) site seeing.. you should visit. too.

Hope you enjoyed T.U. Ep#004, was a pleasure to put together.

Much thanks for reading and tuning in..

God bless..
