**MUSIC RELATED BLOG-POST**
SoundCloud Page 11+ hours of music / radio shows!
It's been a good long while sine I have been on her and longer still, since I have posted anything of relevance. After a 5 years on the same job (which I still enjoy) I have still found a way to make room for my lifeblood. Drum and Bass. Since the first semi-broken turntable of my childhood until now, I have found time to play tunes and loudly. After moving from townhouse to condo and eventually a house, the guys over at BassDrive kept me on the radar for a show and offered me one, when I was in a place - both mentally and physically - where I could broadcast a show without having to deal with travel and the fear of being evicted because of the overt disturbance to a building full of people not wanting to be massaged by bass waves and 174 BPM breaks. Maximum respect to all the heads who used to support, showed love and those who continue to do so and especially to those new fans and listeners, every week, whether it be on the radio show or at the love events. Playing shows now, after doing it for over 15 years feels more like i am cultivating a harvest of musical knowledge rather than grasping at trends and hurling them, haphazardly, back at the listening audience. I can truly say that I feel a connection with an audience (on most occasions) when I am lost (found?) in the music. Not to use the aforementioned cliche lightly, but in humble honesty. It's not about the money or the name on a flyer, it's more about putting my whole metal state out there on an aural canvas, layers at a time. The landscape may change in the background but the imagery is always themed on funk, soul and some intangible compound composed of all those who influence me both near and far. As pretentious as that all may sound, it's probably the most honest way I can express my feeling toward the music as it flows through me just as freely as blood. I hope you take the time to visit the page and check out some live shows. Check out the River City Rinse-Out 003 w/ iLL Omen for a solid hour of flavor.
Cheers SG Fam!

You are most welcome. Thank you for reading it and replying so quickly! Also, smile for no reason every now and then...It feels good and scares strangers and panhandlers.
