Hey Mr. Marley Marl,

I've got something for you. Are you at work?

*psst* it's all going down tomorrow.

Giving a whole new meaning to the phrase, "more bounce to the ounce".

RaveWavers are you ready?

Nice Ze'ev. I look forward to seeing you and burning one down.

Which reminds me, one of those employed at the party reads his job description as "distributor and roller of joints".

Just what the doctor ordered for the everyday junglist.

So... I was talking to Sixteen Armed Jack earlier, and he was telling me something crazy about spinning a 100% 16AJ set... and then KGBkid says something about cutting x amount of specials... Rcola then says, "I think I will only play unreleased dubs"... Krinjah has been making around ten tracks a day!... Alor is spinning on Final Scratch, so you know that she is coming with the next level... of course, MayDay is not to be outdone seeing as she is the "Queen of the jungle" to quote Loco... Saigon comes with the wickedness every time… and Marcus is the don; period.

Do you need any other reasons?

As far as I was concerned, Soundmurderer destroyed the place. While he is not necessarily that skilled of a disc jockey per se, he certainly is a top selector.

I am curious as to who all of those people were who were getting down to the sounds of hardcore mash-up ragga jungle. I certainly hope that they know about Asphalt Jungle, because many of the persons on the bill list Soundmurderer as one of their main influences.

Now, you've got a nine,
And, you've got a nine,
And, you've got a nine,
And, you've got a nine,
And, she's got a nine,
And, he's got a nine,
Well it's a mother flocking party,
'cause I've got mine.

nine days left

As the first Asphalt Jungle came to a close (at ten in the morning), the organizers turned to one another and in unison said, "We have got to do this again next year."

Yes, the first Asphalt Jungle was quite good... It is a shame that it will pale in comparison to this years' version.

More details?

KGBkid has a new dubplate coming out. Listen to it at [ www.kgbkid.com ]

An up-and-comer is one who shows signs of advancement and ambitious development. If these people wish to register, then essentially by default they should be considered to be an up-and-comer. Who among us is not an up-and-comer?

With the quality of talent as high as it is across the board, the timeslots for Asphalt Jungle were indeed difficult to organize. What the attendees of this event should understand is that throughout their respective sets, each selector will cause the party to climax in his or her own way pretty much at will. From the first dj who will drop at midnight, to the last scheduled dj set to touch down at 09:00am, the dopeness, the hypeness, the super def grooveness, will continue to subsist leaving the patrons little cause to show up any later than midnight and leave any earlier than 10:00am; you have been warned.

The aforementioned overall hypeness notwithstanding, at the midpoint of the party, we will all be brought back to the music’s original organic roots when Kali and Dub acting as instruments of nature, make you feel all right the way only live reggae can.

I can empathize; but as I am sure the members pf production companies such as Kirk6 would agree, is that not essentially the reason why we organize these events in the first place? To really offer something different to the party people in the place was our intention all along, and I think that Asphalt Jungle achieves its goal. I am so anxious for March 20th to arrive.

But in the meantime, why not relax and unwind, ‘cause I have something that I know you will rewind.

Download these two tracks. DJ MayDay’s No Fear (found at [ media.ragga-jungle.com ] and a Blackmarket remix of the previous track (found at [ media.ragga-jungle.com ] Do you not think that these tracks should be cut and made available for the public? The people need to know!

After having downloaded Sixteen Armed Jack’s dubs, I started to seriously consider whether the MTL junglists are actually ready for this sort of mash-up madness. I am currently waiting on confirmation from our lawyers to determine if our insurance will cover unleashing this sort of insanity into the dance. Until such time patrons are to be advised that Cognitive Vibe assumes no liability for the necessary therapy sessions that will be needed in order to recover from Asphalt Jungle II.

Memorable Saigon MTL moments:
[list]
The inaugural introduction: iDJ's Summer Breeze, a hot sweaty (not too breezy) venue in the middle of some sketched out neighbourhood right next to an old overgrown mini-putt course. Saigon steps up like the badman that he is, and tears the roof off the place; the MTL junglists do not know what hit them.

New Years madness: Featured in the line-up of two New Years Eve parties in one night, Saigon comes correct like it is nobody's business. The MTL junglists are hooked.

Asphalt Jungle I: The first annual Asphalt Jungle, Saigon steps up and represents alongside, Krinjah, MayDay, Jacky Murdah, Ammo, and accomplice, in what was later said to be the best party of the year. Saigon is hooked.

Blue Dog: After hooking up with accomplice, Saigon decides to move to Montreal to experience the greatest summer of his life (if you have ever lived in Montreal for a summer, you will know what I am talking about). To set off the summer right, Junglist Fridays at Blue Dog was the place to do it. The line-up for the night, accomplice, Saigon, DJ K, Krinjah; 'nuff said.

Countless underground parties: I'm telling you, it is all about Montreal in the summer.

Summer Breeze: The return. There was a dnb side of things that night, but the cops put a stop to that. Before they arrived however, it was insanity; accomplice, MayDay, Krinjah, KBGkid, Saigon. Let's just say that it was probably a good thing that the cops showed up because that party was dangerous!

More loft parties: As mentioned earlier, Montreal in the summer; period.

End of days: With the summer coming to a close, Saigon hit Blue Dog once more before heading home to the T-Dot, only this time he rinsed out the tracks that he produced during his stay. All those who were in the place were better people for having attended.

Autumn: Saigon hits Blue Dog for a little teaser after his triumphant return home. The response is massive as Saigon lights it up.

March 20th marks the return of greatness to the decks in Montreal. Saigon, alongside stellar performers such as Marcus Visionary, Sixteen Armed Jack, KGBkid, Alor, MayDay, Rcola, Krinjah, and accomplice; big 'tings a gwan. Don't miss out.

Ah, the memories. Good times, good times.

Do you stand on your street corner at 5am on Friday morning?

A location and time that is a tad more reasonable would probably make more sense, do you not think?

Ps. Your message was not also not a PM, suggesting to me that you were attempting to be funny for the pleasure of others.

It has come to my attention that the link to Saigon's set does not work. I have a copy of the set broken into tracks. If you would like a copy, PM me and suggest a time and place to meet. With the understanding that this will guarantee your presence at Asphalt Jungle, I will hit you up with a copy of the CD.

Making noise; download and be merry.

Sean Saigon is one of the many fine young performers who will be making an appearance at this year's edition of Asphalt Jungle.

Named the “Ragga Jungle Don” by the dnb don himself, Marcus Visionary (another honourary Asphalt Jungle guest), though he lays his head in Toronto, Saigon's lust for life and enthusiastic drive to insert his sound into the minds’ of the masses, made his transition into the Montreal lifestyle last summer, a breeze. When he departed it can honestly be said that he left a hole in the heart of our community.

It cannot go left unsaid that his hiatus from the drum and bass capital did wonders for Saigon, upon his return to Toronto, Saigon exploded onto the scene earning himself a weekly residency at afterhours club System Soundbar alongside marquee players; Ryan Ruckus; Lush; and Mystical Influence. This, as well as frequently packing parties for Front Left Productions, Saigon has indeed been busy, but this has not stopped him from, in true ragga junglist soldier fashion, cutting dub and after dub that make the bodies bounce and parties pump.

After a triumphant return to Montreal last fall at Blue Dog's Junglist Fridays, Saigon is more than ready to come with the wickedness at Asphalt Jungle on March 20th. Are you ready?

I had to clear my throat... is that not worthy enough for you?

*ahem

Wow, now that is what I call being defensive. Perhaps you should look within and question as to why you consistently resort to threats of violence to my person when all I did was string a series of words together that can in no way physically harm you. When you operate on such a defensive level, it exhibits a weakness that I know you do not wish to bare. You are standing naked and everyone is laughing at what is not there.

You want respect? You have to deserve respect in order to receive it. Respect is a right, not a privilege; earn it.

There are a plethora of reasons why I did not, and will not, book you; but then, there is an infinite number of performers who I will also not book. I do not feel the need to explain to those particular persons whatever my reasons may be, nor should I; likewise with yourself.

And you are right, why am I even posting here trying to bring the conversation back to discussing reasons as to why individuals should patronize the event in question? I am sure that you can handle the task of marketing your performances; you have done a fine job alienating your audience thus far, keep up the good work.

Why is Regimental talking about his limp/dry penis? Is that really going to make people want to patronize this event?

Happy Birthday MayDay.

What does it matter what she looks like? Is it not more important what she sounds like?

*psst Cara has a fondness for vodka and 7up.

I represent to the fullest three hundred sixty degrees,
please,
I drop keys
over these melodies,
you know my steez,
I run the board of trustees
of anomalies,
So to all of the absentees,
Who are catching some zees,
Listen up aujourd'huis,
I don't care if you're amputees,
or deportees,
or escapees,
or retirees,
or parolees,
or suffer from some kind of disease,
or express a fondness for processed cheese,
my expertise,
guarantees,
that all the attendees,
to my parties,
will leave with fond memories.

This Friday at Blue Dog's infamous Junglist Fridays, all the crew will be representing and getting mad blunted as we celebrated the anniversary of MayDay's birth.

Do not sleep; it is going to be off the proverbial hook.

Too bad indeed... As a matter of fact, perhaps I have been a little too enthusiastic and should stay in more often. This has all been taken care of as certain individuals do not seem to want me at their events anymore.

Regardless of the aforementioned, did someone say that this event will be off the proverbial hook?

No doubt, all of the crews should represent all of the jungle jams in Montreal. That is exactly why you will find me at Blue Dog tonight for the fourth anniversary, Corridor tomorrow to check out Krinjah, then at iDJ to celebrate two years of intimate monthly goodness, and finally at the AfterDark party for some raggaliciousness; or so is the plan.

Yes, that is true; but monopolies encourage slothfulness.

Even when Hooked 2 was scheduled on the same day, I was not worried. No disrespect intended, but as I said to Steve Lalla, "It does not make me even bat an eye to see that Sase, Corey K, Stabba and Galaksy are all playing on the same night, as not one of these disc jockeys jock the discs that will be jocked at Asphalt Jungle". To put it short, these two events are not in the same category as one another.

Notice that everyone on the line-up of Asphalt Junlge is a producer, i.e. the majority of the tracks that you will hear at Asphalt Jungle will be being played for the first time (and many will only be played on that night as many of the selectors are cutting dubplate specials). Most of the tunes will not be released, and if they are, it will not be for quite sometime that they are available to record buying massive.

Plain and simple, Asphalt Jungle is not your ordinary everyday dnb party that happens on any given day, Asphalt Jungle is something different, something special, something unique. As was the first Asphalt Jungle, as will be this Asphalt Jungle, as will be all of the future Asphalt Jungles to come. I truly believe in this event, and I urge each and everyone out there to recognize and realize.

G, if all you had was "colt 45 and two zig zags" what would the zig zags be used for? As far as I know people do not roll their beer. Or do they?

"i luv my chronic more than beer ANY day"

That is what I'm talking about.

Lexah,

If you are into the sounds of the jungle, and you are interested in Montreal, you should check out: [ www.chopstickdubplate.com. ] It is rumoured that their representation has reached all the way out to your neck of the woods in Perth.
