someone told me wooferbitch has a tv show on Home and Garden TV..

[ www.lekkerlui.nl ]

i've been listening to this set non-stop, and it's wicked.. kid606 from san diego, with some serious mash-up breakcore, and whatever else.. very enjoyable.

i'm waiting for the debates before i decide anything, but ndp is the only ones with a marijuana decriminalization platform. although i've always hated the ndp before.

holy shit i can't wait any longer

i'd prefer not to get fired.. hah..

i'm positive the guy next to me smokes weed. we should twist at lunch or something.

a gov call center that gets 5-10 calls a day. and 4 people answering them.

i have a government summer job where i do nothing all day, just sit here and stare at the computer screen.. what can i do to entertain myself, without getting fired to make the day go by faster.

so far the only thing i have come up with is typing this message.

nice.. i wanna check it out

hah damn, one of craig's tracks is in there. neat..

damn, that cripple fight track is good

wicked!!! any samples on-line?

montreal has some amazing talent.. the best in canada even.. but i don't think any of them sent in demo cd's :( and they don't get to play outside of quebec often enough.. hopefully that will change soon!

agent cooper: no that's not the same guy.. or-beat produces under the name MIR.. boris valeo was some guy from id&t records, who played at a thunderdome as boris veleo once, as sort of a tribute to boris valejo, the artist who's work was used on a lot of the thunderdome cd covers.. my icon is also art by boris valejo.

or-beat is even better.. and he's got a hot russian girlfriend.

MC HI-IQ – Philadelphia, USA - [ www.ruffneckplayazcrew.com ] , "If hardcore was a person, it would be Justin. Why does he take his shirt off when he MC's? Fuck if I know but the girls like it and he hangs out with me, so I can use him to get girls. His incredible stage presence, lyrical quickness, and positively make him stick out like a sore thumb.

The Blizzard Boys (aka justrich and phosphor) – Winnipeg CAN.
HAPPY HARDCORE/FREEFORM - BlizzardTracks/Nu Energy Collective [ www.blizzardtracks.com ]

Justrich
Having devoted more than 15 years of his life to the music industry and spent countless nights cutting his teeth at weddings, socials, and corporate parties, it is Rich Garbutt's love for music and the vibe of an audience that drives him.
Working days managing an audio-video company, Rich turns into D.J. Justrich at night, using his intense energy and early hip-hop influences to produce driving sounds with quick cuts and smooth transitions.
In 2000, Rich's love for music and devotion to his craft earned him an invitation to work with three distinguished UK producers - Kevin Energy, Sharkey and K-Komplex. The opportunity to work with these fresh talents only added fuel to D.J. Justrich's fire: since his trip to the UK, Justrich has produced more than 10 tracks. What really turns Justrich's crank is the opportunity to play at great clubs and events, he feels that what really separates him from all the other Dj’s out there is his ability to interact with and feed off of the crowd. Having now toured in every Canadian province and played premiere events like the 2001 World Electronic Music Festival, Rich still loves music as much as he ever did, and is eagerly pursuing new opportunities to play and produce electronic music. Just to put it all in perspective Rich is one of the guys who got SOS started in djing.

Phosphor
phosphor is a DJ/producer of Happy Hardcore, Trancecore, and Hardcore based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Before getting into electronic music, Dan has experimented with various musical styles and instruments beginning with classical piano. He has worked with folk/pop styles and celtic, teaching himself a range instruments including acoustic guitar, irish whistle, celtic flute, bohdran drum, and other hand drums. It wasn't until a couple years ago that Dan wandered into the realm of electronic music production and recording.
Phosphor started up in late 1998 producing various tracks with Fast Tracker II. He linked up with another local tracker, Karmah (aka Stephan Bazocchi) and formed the live PA tracking duo Modulo-2. M2 focused mostly, but not exclusively, on the faster side of electronic music: happy hardcore, hardcore, speed/noisecore, drum and bass, hard trance, house After about a year of playing out and after two Modulo-2 cd releases, both phosphor and Karmah matured in their styles and are now both producing material under their solo identities. Karmah is now producing predominantly dark minimal techno under the name Devious Lifeform.
Over the next while phosphor continued to produce Happy Hardcore, Hardcore, and expanded his sound into the genres of Trancecore, Trance, and Hard Acid as well as incorporating more acoustic instrumentation into his works and utilization of vocals. He also moved into the world of soft synths and has now gathered a good pile of hardware. Most of his material now is now produced in his home studio with hardware sequenced and recorded with the PC.

DON’T MISS THE 4:20 ALL STAR HARDCORE JAM ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON!!!YOU NEVER KNOW WHO WILL BE SHOWING UP TO DROP A FEW TUNES.

^ woha.. what time is love was huge tune back then too.. i think lenny dee did some production work with the shamen too.. never heard any of omar's early work though. come on and jam is probably the earliest i've heard from him, 1991 maybe? hmm.

delta 9 back on dbn?! very nice.. i'll be checking that out.. buried alive is one of my all-time favorite delta 9 jams, from the midwest hardcorps 2 ep.. "i was only 21 when i died"
i hope he moves away from his hard house stuff.

i have all of the syndicate releases and the rage rage reset ep (fist7 i think it is?).. but none of the early fists i've heard have remotely resembled what germany was doing at the time and before.. i've been meaning to pick up the represses though, i think they just did 8.. time to get off my ass... as for fist 1-3, i don't know anyone who owns them.. i keep hearing about how much they go for but i'm just gonna stick to whatever they repress.

that track made me spit out my fruit loops this morning.

actually doc savage, bloody fist never put out any pure speedcore.. they were always
considered more industrial/experimental hardcore.. and lately breakcore
and jungle. although bf artists put out speedcore on sub labels and other
labels.. like syndicate on juncalor, and mark newlands own nasenbluten
with the 100% series on isr.

hkv is great.. anything carl carinci is involved in kills.

also, B.E.A.S.T, Napalm (shockwave sub label), Juncalor (Real aussie
speedcore), born to kill, Storm, Head Fuck Records (italy!), brutal chud,
uhf, blood n guts, and the absolutely pivotol speedcore releases on
industrial strength by UVC, Disciples Of Annihilation, Delta 9, Siege and
Menace.. kotzaak (kotz 0 anyone? hell yea)..

i'll be there.. looks amazing.

why don't you watch it and find out.. hrmm..

i'm a bit obsessed with family guy so i will say it is deffinitely wasted talent.

"Wasted Talent"

if only web hosting was free, huh.

i like your style grant.. keep the hardcore vibe alive!

here's a short 30 minute mix of purist newstyle..

[ electros.dhs.org ]

so many people tell me newstyle is cheesy.. but that's a generalization.. some of it is (rotterdam terror corps).. but there's a lot of hard pounding dutch producers that know how to keep it strictly 'core..

anyway, check out that mix for a good introduction. it's only 12 megs.

awesome party.. hellfish was insane.. i can honestly say that was the MOST HARDCORE party i've ever been to.. good job imx!!

the masochist - anticipation

that was a great 420.. 1000+ people in major's hill park here in ottawa.. good vibes..

i love the contradiction between eyeopener, and automatic fuckin hakkeh.. i donno.. i just wanted to try something different.. next time it'll be something else.

HARD TO THE BONE

purely in the mocking sense, bahahaha

i just want everyone to know that no matter how hard the times get, no matter how hard it rains outside, no matter how much snow is on the ground, no matter what happens...

I WON'T STOP ROCKIN' TILL I RETIRE!

that's ghetto-fabulous server ;)
