Buddhists have a term 'being in the moment', to describe when we are fully aware of our experience, rather than robotically feeling stuff though habit. We often live life in the past or racing into the future, but rarely experience the now.

I had a now moment today. driving a half ton of wood home, through snow covered hills. Deadmau5 'Soma' was on the stereo, there was mist hanging to the hills, as evening fell and I realised that this was one of those moments that would look great in the Movie of my Life. Perfect sound track, perfect scene and of course a handsome mother fucker in the lead role.

Of course, once I realised that I was in the now, pow!, I wasn't anymore. That's the thing with Buddhism, it's very frustrating. I gave up on Enlightenment when I found that not only did I have to give up desire, but wanting to give up desire was in fact a desire...Taking the piss a bit there I reckon

Felix Cartal

The first time I heard of Felix Cartal was when Erol Alkan dropped 'Moss vs Tree' during one of his sets a few years back. To say it blew my head off would be an understatement. It has such a driving beat, it feels like you're strapped to the front of a high speed train, flashing through unmarked stations on the way to fuck knows where.

He released his Skeleton EP earlier this year and he's got an album coming out soon. The first track off that album is 'Drone' and you can hear it just here. It's released on September 3rd

Also here's 'Moss Vs Tree'. If you haven't heard it before, strap yourself well in.

This is MASSIVE

New Header On The Way!

But until I fix that, I HIGHLY recommend you buy the new Felix Cartal Ep 'Skeleton'. I was starting to fear that the days of the stand in the middle of the floor while your head came close to exploding, lose your mind in a blaze of epileptic strobe lights electro banger had died. Then I heard 'Salty Lake' and I was standing there listening to 'Krack' for the first time all over again. It's very similar and I can't wait to hear it out, grinding my face off. Everytime I hear it (and it's been on repeat) I want to smoke a fag and that's a sure fire sign that it's hitting the spot. I challenge you not to punch the air at some point in this tune.

Also check out the new Amerie tune 'Why R U?'. This will be her third album release and it amazes me why she hasn't achieved the level success of Rihanna et al. Maybe she should start dressing like a dominatrix on stage and get some pictures taken of her bare ass. I, of course, will break out the Nikon if she wants to go down that road
