The first though came to mind when I received my High IQ diagnostic last month was a lot of unanswered questions like why I felt so bad the emotions of young kids when they were crying out loud and I pretend to be funny to erase sobs? or Why on Earth I have to struggle with Life questions such as Is really an afterlife?
Indeed. Nobody has the right answer. Are we living a dream? What is the point of all of this? Some people find out this at 30 while others do so at 60. I'm almost 30 now and still trying to understand myself better. I know cinema is a therapy for sure. Clubbing is lifting up my Christian spirit since the first time I put a feet on a dancefloor (I was about 16). I felt free. I was very shy at the time but my body the sh*t out . I discovered the sound of Swedish House producers in my teen years in a national radio, Maxima FM. In a fun-size, fungy local gym called Pasos (C del Dr. Vallejo, 14) where they were playing radio 24/7 even if they were closed... Nope! That was an ironic joke. Imagine a 24/7 gym. Well, here it is: my f*cking brain (skip it to min. 01:23).
My brain does not think as the others just like achieving goals in life. I remember at the age of 15 still on girl in English class begging for a good marriage and let the kids grow healthy. Then there is the cultural background which I mean it is enforced by family which is a legacy which is historical
Still asking why we need special needs such as affection or being understood with clarity? We don't want to go with the flow-just don't attend traffic lights and so. Let me explain from the beginning_:
I was always been seen as a weird kid whose misunderstood jokes steemed from the same package and cultural allusions (setting an easter egg 2. is not so easy for everyone)
Let me tell you something about this guy up here. We meet at this ra event: https://ra.co/events/862378 We don't take drugs, neither alcohol in this parties just don't need them! We are right there and just feeling the moment in a nightclub packed to the gills with people on E.
As a eponymous protagonist of this actual post. Those thoughts came to my mind when I was only seven. Back then and now music healed my extreme feelings of a temporary living on . Life is a short period of time with different stages (childhood, teen years, madurity) As long as we live we have to battle against time. I pray for a remote control capable of controlling the time of our life like the one in the movie Clic. I'm sorry mate, but no. This is real life and cinema (broadly in art) is that mesmerising opium blissfully emp.
Feelin' free in my fav city: Madrid, Spain
The best memories in my mind are hanging around with my local peers looking up to spy couples in the park during hot, summer. I did have a gap building a bridge between my kid era and the teenager one. Later emotions I enhance and I confess crying, having a lot (with no need of E in my brain) of goosebumps.
As a hypersensitive kid I clearly can say that exploding firecrackers (which are made of cordite, smokelesspowder, or blackpowder) at the edge of the road was badly annoying due to the
Enough! Let's talk about fears. I'm all ears! I still remember when I was a little kid my grandpa hide to avoid me and see my reaction. My biggest fear was being a lost kid in the middle of the city center. Later on I discovered plenty of darkness and I think terrified me. Nowadays silence occupied that place.
At the early age of 8 noticed I'm nothing more than a like my organza taught me. I love playing around and putting people up there. My city is a playground, king of an extended letup. Plenty of possibilities, Not to miss Banksy wall:
P.S.: To date Joker still is (and he will always be) my hero.
Fuse (Buzzin’ Fly/Virgin) just came OUT! Cannot imagine how difficult have been spending on a musical hiatus all of this years. Married couple formed by Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt shut up as Everything But the Girl (EBTG) and three children later they
Although many of their musical heirs have often combined shuffly beats and plaintive vocals to numbingly polite effect, there remains something intriguingly individual about EBTG’s sleek, ache-filled offering. On lead single Nothing Left to Lose, Thorn’s voice is instantly recognisable, as though no time had passed, while Watt’s production puts the duo’s downtempo beat appeal front and centre. With a promo single released last winter: Nothing Left To Lose
The couple in the 90s
Furthermore, Thorn’s voice turns more lived-in and husky which, coupled with unexpected incursions of pitch-shift and Auto-Tune, suggest a pugnacious desire not to remain preserved in amber. Standouts such as Run a Red Light and No One Knows We’re Dancing provide clubland demimonde vignettes, while a number of expansive, impressionistic sound-beds allow for more matter-of-fact lyrics about loss (Lost) and cutting oneself some slack (When You Mess Up). Less memorable are the songs – like Caution to the Wind - where the two coast pellucidly along. No One Knows We're Dancingis a ballad, produced directly with an eye on stadium-chant in mind
Among all the list my personal podium is topped bywell-written, evocative lyrs Lost, followed by warm female lead voice chorus part driven by syncopated pads-in Time And Time Again
How Eliza Rose saved the Brit Summer '22. Only a few knew beforehand. This is B.O.T.A.
Born in East End of London and shaped as music vynil digger, groovy basses and vindictive vocals. Nevertheless at the time she grew up in Dalston and partying all night since 17 was when she realise that musical recess, loophole in which she was not represented. The track first gained attention in London’s club scene (the elpalikes of E1, Phonox, KOKO), but it wasn’t until Glastonbury where it really took off.
I thought the underground scene would love it, and I knew that it was quite a special song - Eliza Rose
The song’s title and central refrain is inspired by Coffy, a 1973 Blaxploitation film which stars Pam Grier as a woman vigilante. The tagline reads: the baddest one chick hit squad which ever hit town.
official poster 1973
She’s the ultimate figure of female empowerment for me [...] and even if it’s not an obvious reference, I think some of that strength permeated to that song
The topic is a homage to black and queer communities established in Hackney, London. We took an extract from when she was asked for gentrification she talked for Dazed. An inside B.O.T.A. reflect that not all is about gentrification.
It’s like they were scared of me, in my own area, on my own street, where I’d lived all of my life. I’d think, ‘you've moved in here, and you're looking at me like that?
[...] around the time of the Olympics [in 2012] I started experiencing all kinds of racism. People would look at me like, ‘Oh, my God. [...] I try to choose to see the things that are good, because there are still these different spaces going against the grain and refusing to be removed, and there are still people who continue to push the creativity which used to define Hackney - Eliza Rose's words for Dazed (01.09)
Global social phenomenon which has gone viral on TikTok defined the sound of summer '22 after her breakthrough at Glastonbury. Influenced by NinaSimone and Amy Winehouse. It has also elements of UK garage, which remains one of Rose’s biggest inspirations: , and maybe a little dash of PC Music, but really it’s a tribute to 90s dance.
It’s a little bit trashy, a little bit Euro. [...]
Don't to be forgotten Interplanety Criminal who was the maker on the Studio SetUp (Logic Pro X). The catchy vibes belongs only to him but the real 90s feelin' is due to the one an only Eliza Rose.
The dance track became UK No. 1 Official Singles Chart for two consecutive weeks (04.08-18.08)
Another achievement has clearly been related with BBC which gave her a monthly Residency for Radio1
As well as being a DJ, Rose is a fiction writer who has just finished her first novel – What Happens in Dreamland – which portrays a friendship between two women who are both, in their own ways, in bad situations. “Female friendship runs through everything I do,” she says. “Friendship is just as important as the notion of romantic love. You learn about yourself through how your friends see you.
The Sweds are back on BBC (and a new studio album)!
As many of you have heard of a Swedish electronic group (Axwell,Sebastian Ingrossoand Steve Angello) confirmed a new bunch of singles for the next months. The first new single since Don't You Worry Child was released on Friday 15th 2021 and its drop was mostly criticised by many while others pulled tension off a generated hype on Facebook/Twitter account.
It seems they are taking a new direction in terms of electronic dance music. EDM death is not an unusual as it used to be before 2014. The year when it became massive and a global with playful beats and melodic chants. Even in China (music business is adapting itself too slow but safe) where top charting a cool song (even linked with trendy music) has been late around 3 years late in comparison with EU charts (UK Dance Singles mainly referenced)
A brand new era for the Sweds fans who have been waiting almost two years since their last concert (Singapore) with no restrictions and eager for new material after almost ten years in a stand-by mode. There's no doubt that fans will be demanding to see them playing live again after they presented their latest release on Republic Records. Also performing on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show might calm the hype for many or even with an in-depth mix.
The third single Moth To A Flame seems logical evolution according to market parameters an as The Weeknd is not only.. and it was released on October 22th
Furthermore Jimmy Fallon knows how to make history. Remember the past edition of the show
Week of thoughts: small talk about Annie' retirement
Why is the Radio 1 DJ leaving BBC and who is replacing her? All you need to know as she does her last show after 17 years.
Annie MacManus – better known as Annie Mac – is a Dublin dance scene queen who cemented the power prime-time hours of BBC Radio 1's dance-music programming, delivering cutting-edge tracks to a legion of devoted followers all around the world on her eponymous Friday-night Dance Party show (running from 7pm to 9pm to over a million people in the iconic role of ‘officially starting the weekend’). Since hitting the air a decade ago, she's extended her influence as both a musical curator and DJ in her own right, dropping sought-after compilations, headlining top clubs and festivals, and building her "Annie Mac Presents" showcases into a global-events brand noted for fresh, diverse lineups (at SXSW 2014, she spotlighted Kelis, electronic producer Tourist, and rapper Le1f). Mac's AMP DJ tour expanded to the U.S. in March, bringing her current slate of faves to clubs across the country.
Towards the end of her English Literature degree Annie decided to get into the radiosphere and she signed up for a post-graduate Master at a college in Farnborough, Hampshire.
She spent a depressing year working part time in a supermarket in the sleepy town finishing her studies. With her Masters behind her she moved to London into a house with brother Davey and other members of his band The Crimea, who were flying high in the charts. ‘I had a mad few years of living in Camden and being a proper indie girl. I worked for the student radio network SBN and, had my own residency at The Underworld in Camden. That club was a ‘walk in’ club. You’d get every type of person in there from little skater boys, indie kids, punks, loads of tourists. Literally every walk of life was represented so it was a real lesson in keeping the dance floor full. It was only a year or two later I was doing The Mash Up so I brought that to my Radio 1 show.’
Her debut at 26 on Radio 1 was an ident for Mike Davies show as they liked the way ‘ponk’ sounded in her Dublin accent. After doing a demo she was filling in for, then her inspirational BBC 6's former host DJ and TEDxtalkerMary Anne Hobbs. Then in July 2004 she was given her broadcasting The Annie Mac Show. I was properly grateful for that time behind the scenes. It gave me a real appreciation of how a radio show works.’ In tandem her repute as a club DJ had been growing. For fun she started DJing at after and house parties when living in Belfast. After a year on Radio 1 she started her ‘Annie Mac Presents’ showcases at a single room in Fabric (inaugural artists Mylo and Justice). From humble beginnings it has grown into what Mixmag have called ‘one of the biggest brands in clubland providing a platform for a generation of youthful, bass-driven, live-dance acts and making Annie herself one of the most in-demand club/festival DJs on the planet.’ Annie is characteristically down to Earth about her achievements.
‘I don’t set out to represent a new generation. It was good timing for me. When I started club DJing I’d never played in a club. But the people that booked me at the beginning where very much the people that were coming up and not part of the Super Clubs thing. The world of DJing and club culture was kind of shutting me out because the way I was changing as a person but then I kind of opened a door and made it worked and for me and other people said to me: hey thanks! I'm 52 and feel like I belong to here. Then were producers and DJs that were booking me... and embroiled in their scenes.’
She's been called the next successor to Zane Lowe and John Peeland this are BIG words. She DJed along the man with the whitest legs on the desert aka Duke Dumont and SBTRKT
Personally I've found this chilling being Mac one of the most solid faces in its format and her last show was a tiny if not a groan of relief for her family. I can't imagine how is to hand the headphones after hosting a distingished seventeen-years run program. High-quality electronic digital content, clubgoers trendies with great connoisseur and latest music releases. In addition to hosting a number of other specialty programs Annie has become a Mother and she has no more time for broadcasting anymore.
Best Electronic Vocalists from mid-10s to nowadays

From the mid-nineties to the beginning of the new millennium through our days, analysing hip house, vocal trance or EDM styles. Top modern vocalists, distinguished unsung heroes for redeeming future electronica angels and so on. Without further delay may I present you my TOP10 below:
Gillettte, singin' 4 da short d*ck men b**ch!

Robyn, from R/Bfloor to the dance-floor
Take Me Away (1997)

Amanda Wilson, Britain being always on the go
Keep This Fire Burning (Freemasons)
A wonder electronic modern vocal, widely infectious smile, penetrating, brown eyes. All of this and many more is the voice which represented United Kingdom in Eurovision 1998 (she was done before semifinals). As part of the act she has scored two major UK hit singles, one of which (Love On My Mind)chartopped position number 11 during 6 weeks in UK TOP40 provided lead vocals on many tracks on the Freemasons' album, Shakedown [Loaded Records, 2007].

Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the Duchess of UK POP
Murder on the Dancefloor
Authentic blood running through her harmonic veins. She ditched electro-pop for sweeping chamber pop and for suits in her fusing dance beats with filmic orchestration and all surrounded by a strong visual stylish-clips. A sophisticated electropop disco diva to the Ed Harcourt-assisted chamber pop sound whose eight albums (two of them are compilations) encompassed a twenty or so prolific career. Read My Lips [Polydor, 2001] started off and Songs from the Kitchen Disco [EBGB's, 2020] hit it off last year with new covers and a Groveejet version under the arm now she can say it out loud:
"It felt more excited than worried. And liberated woman."
Example, from hip-hop star to EDM act

Nadia Ali, libanese sensation based on NYC
Rapture (Avicii Remix)
iiO (Rapturewasnumber one in Australia, Ireland and UK) was like a training school for Ali to get the best out of her smooth, truly shine voice. The successful collaborations achieved in electronic music industry owned to Armin van Buuren's Feels so Good, BT's (along with Arty) Must Be The Loveand Starkillers & AlexKenji's (the commonly chanted Alesso's Edit) Pressurecredited as electronic silky anthems.

ChristinaNovelli, dispatched from Djing world
Concrete Angel

Melodic tunes from Avicii (Fade into darkness), Alesso (In My Blood), MartinGarrix (Now That I've Found You, Together or Higher Ground) and SebastianIngrosso (Reloadalong with Tommy Trash) which are big anthems for the most. His closingnights in Ushuaia adorned the "perfect night" for thousands. Clubbers around the world have had a special hach for pilgrimage to the electronic Mecca (Eivissa, Spain). Crossing out another "things to do in life" from your notebook? Let's move on mate! Just one more thing to remember: do not confuse John with Chris Martin (Coldplay).
Andreas Moe, much better in acoustic version
Long Time (cover)
The third Swedish vocal artist. These people have gained a lot of fame because they isolated during the winter season (well, also during summer season) to created music. Inside the studio and coffee in their hands Moe follows the lead of his fellow countryman to win Eurovision (who knows in the future). Avicii, Armin van Buuren, HardwellJohn de SohnorTiestoare his foolproof print collaborations. Holding On’ was the first taste of an EP out later on May 28th and a new work waiting to follow-up soon.
AloeBlacc, the man who changed the EDM rules
I Need A Dollar
An infectious mix of folk, soul and pop music. Best known for The Man this platinum-selling singer, songwriter, producer, and activist creates a heartfelt, artistic synthesis of what family means. Getting along with Avicii (Wake Me Up and SOS), Zedd (Candyman) and remembering Stevie Wonder as he did recently on Fox’s hit show The Masked Singers as The Mushroom. Also, Blacc is a big fan of country and seven years later since Ellen premiered Can You Do This he made his announced comeback last September. Aloe also declared:
“Rather than a genre, my music is about A.I.M.: affirmation, inspiration, and motivation. After so many opportunities to talk about [...] I had this realization. My songwriting genre is just thematic.”
