A little Christmas stocking filler...

As it's nearly Christmas, I thought I'd share this with you all... It was made by DJNoNo Ulysses of Radio Clash fame. He did the audio and video mashes and in my humble opinion, it's the best thing he's ever done...

Anyway, click on 'play' and enjoy this...

Where have I been....

Wow, it feels like ages since I blogged here. Basically, it HAS been ages :D

Firstly, I'm gonna go all self indulgent and say 'Happy Rezday to MEEE!' as I'm a big, whole TWO years old today. I'm throwing a mahoosive party at Parkade later, at least 4 hours behind the decks from me, all kicking off at 6pm PST. You're all invited.

Speaking of Parkade, last time I wrote here, I was keeping everything close to my chest, but as most of you know now, I has a sim! Okies, so it's a 'Homestead' sim and not the full monty, but it'll do. I'm still waiting to find out what the rental company is gonna do with prices in the future, what with the recent foot-in-mouth episode from LL regarding Openspace sims, their apparent overuse and the creation of the same prim but more cash Homestead sims... So, that side of things is all up in the air at the moment, but the sim itself is progressing nicely.

The club is fully built, I've placed my old Motorati/Motorability Garage there, so need to put a few bits inside to make it feel garagey, plus I need to build a little roadway system around the island too. I've also ditched the old terrace from 'round back of the club and moved it over to it's own little beach area that now has the name of The Cove. It's a really cool place to hang out and listen to the more chilled out tunes that are usually played there, however there might be some more raucous beach parties planned there in the future ;)

I know it's long overdue, but thats the state of things at the moment. Stuff is good. Stuff is really good and I'm in a very happy place :D

Peas out!

When things go from bad to worse...

Don't you hate it when you know you've got a limited time left at a place and then you've got to move? Well, dear reader, as I posted below a day ago, Parkade is moving because the sim it's on is being sold, or at least the owner is attempting to sell it. Now, it was all set as one huge parcel, but since Parkade moved there, we separated it into it's own little parcel for TP purposes and to prevent audio bleed. The parcel owners were the same, so prims were shared etc. Well, since the news that everyone is bailing from the sim and that it's up for sale, the landowner has reallocated the main parcel.

I'd imagine you can see where this is going...?

Well, as there wasn't enough group land to support Parkade, most of it was returned to me, for the second time in a week. I arranged a sim rollback last time, but I really am fighting a losing battle this time as it seems that despite me paying rent on my parcel, the landowner doesn't seem to have a grasp on how parcels, prim allocations and stuff works. I simply removed what was left of the club and vented my anger at her for her actions.

So, this is spurring me on to get everything sorted for the re-opening, however work won't be continuing until the weekend at the earliest. Should be enough time to get it all sorted for BootieSL though, hopefully. It does mean that Saturday's rave has been cancelled for the moment, but I will organise something once the club is back up and running again.

I'm at it again...

Yup, I am moving Parkade (again). It seems that since Pontiac left SL back in December 2007, I've had a bit of a rocky ride with the place and it's location. First, it had a home at the Motorability Island complex, but due to me leaving there, I took the club with me. So, I then set up on Kara Zor Isle, but now thats all going tilt, due to the major landowner there not being able to afford the place. Fukmi's already moved her flagship store to the Third Life area and Luscious Latex is also moving all of their stuff out too. So, even though I'm paid up until the end of the month, I've had to sort out a contingency plan. ...and I have ;)

I'm not going to say what I'm doing at the moment, but it is definitely happening and also will provide some much needed security for the club. There will be a few changes to one or two aspects of the Parkade build, however the now trademark club building itself is not being changed one little bit. It's iconic and you don't mess with that sort of stuff.

On the subject of Motorability Island, I also learned that it has been broken up, with 3 sims being bought by one of the old Pontiac Motorati Island tenants and only one United Spinal Association sim remains. Frankly, I'm not surprised as the place has never even broken even since day one. I know it was never designed to make a profit, it was always a charity complex, but the aim was to make money from land rentals, so that the sims could be self sufficient, but sadly it was way off and although it's a shame to see the majority of the sims either close or pass hands, it's nice that one United Spinal sim remains.

Anyway, I'm hoping that I'll be up and running with the latest incarnation of Parkade pretty soon. Theres still a bit of work to be done, like a whole new area to build, oh and other new stuff and some more bits to drop from the inventory, but it won't take too long hopefully, so I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe I can have it open for the second BootieSL of the month. I'm also hoping that I can at least keep the club in it's current location long enough to open the new one, before the sim is pulled out from under me.

Oh and we're having an underground rave on Kara Zor Isle this weekend ;) Starts at 4pm PDT.

Miss Cyberpink - Pjanoo Music

Yup, it’s another mashup straight out of the studio. This one is a relatively straightforward blend of the modern classic ‘Music’ by Madonna and the 2008 summer smash ‘Pjanoo’ by Eric Prydz.

There were no complicated processes making this one, I simply did it in realtime, using Traktor 3. So, it took as long to make as it does to listen to it

You can download it here. Enjoy!

Stuff etc.

Woohoo, I'm not dead!!! I haven't heard any rumours to say that I was, but just wanted to say that I'm definitely not dead. I'm dropping crumbs from my lunch all over my desk, but thats nothing compared to how bad things are if I was dead. But I'm not, so it's cool!!!

Okies, if you've not backed away from the monitor muttering that I'm clearly madbonkers, here's whats been going on and what will be happening soon :D

It's been go go go in SL recently, what with sorting bits out for Teller and painting my ever growing fleet of racing cars (pics coming soon), DJing around the place including a kick ass Candy Girls party at Rouge (thanks Codie, mwah!!) and me running around the place buying new hair, new skins and new clothes. Nothing new there then ;) BTW, I will post pice of the 'new' me fairly soon, just need to get around to taking them.

I've got a couple of special DJ gigs and parties coming up soon and whilst they're mentioned on my pure music blog, I thought I'd replicate the aforementioned stuff here too...

So, whats coming up gig wise in the next week or so?

Firstly on Saturday 6th September, I'm spinning at the Global Music Festival, organised by Rezzable and sponsored by Language Lab. It'll be an electro set starting at 2pm until 4pm PDT on the Greenies sim. Promises to be a lot of fun, so if you're kicking your heels and wanting something to do, come along and party... Hard!

As well as the usual Thursday night sessions at Parkade, theres a special Friday night party on Friday 12th September, starting at 2pm PDT. It's an '80s party, so suitable dress attire is mandatory ;) The fun kicks off with Krystal Devonshire spinning a 2 hour MTV Pop style set from the decade, so expect to hear Tiffany, Debbie Gibson etc. in that one and then I'm taking over at 4pm PDT for a 2 hour synthpop set, which will no doubt include New Order, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys etc. It's going to be a really great evening and a lot of fun, so I'd love to see you there!!! I've been listening to a LOT of tunes for this recently, so if you don't want to spoil the surprise, don't check out my LastFM link over there on the right. No, seriously it'll spoil the surprise if you do... Gahhh, do what you want ;)

In other news, we're still putting together a fashion show for Fukmi Clothing and I'm still meaning to pull my finger out and start designing some clothes for the label too... Arrrgh, so much stuff, so little time!!!

Anyway, thats pretty much things in a nutshell (this blog contains no nuts, but is written by one).

See you all again soon!!!

Flickr goodness...

Just thought that anyone who reads this and is bothered, they can check out the new photos I've posted on Flickr...
