A HOOK IN THE PLACE OF THY


"I see men come and go
But there'll be one who will collect my soul
And come to me"

INDIA IN ME



India, India, India… you shocked me but mostly I was amused, you showed me beggars and bastards, but most of all you brought amazing, great and interesting people in my life.
You gave me extra kilos from all the ghee and sugar on the food, but I did not get sick and will dance it all off. You made me cry sometimes but in general you put a big smile in my face and made me laugh out loud. You made combine red and blue, and like it. You made me used to things I've never even thought about.
It was wonderful times! I must thank Annemarie Koerten (most of the words above are hers) for the magnificent company (now, that's a travel partner!) and Regenerate Music for bringing me over to play and taking care of every single detail to make my journey magical! I am definitely coming back.

I COULDN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE



I saw the devil again
Gave me deliverance
I saw my angel and then
I couldn't tell the difference

"WHY TAKE DRUGS WHEN YOU CAN GET HIGH ON GOD'S GLORY?"

I'm a kind of apatheist, but still highly curious on the questionable new techniques to attract and convert people to some belief system in the internet/youtube era.
Meet Matthew, the Christian Trance DJ and Brandon, the Red Letter Ministry, who promise to teach  you to "get high on God" by praying, sniffing essential oils and smoking imaginary joints: http://bit.ly/drunkongod


(My mean'n'sarcastic side is tickling after watching this, but we must remember to respect all religions and beliefs that respect other religions and beliefs. Right?)
ps.: Jonathan Rauch described apatheism as "a disinclination to care all that much about one's own religion, and an even stronger disinclination to care about other people's".

MIDSUMMER NIGHT PORN



Last weekend I played in the latest edition of the infamous Pornceptual parties, that took place in St Georg, a cellar club next to Ritter Butzke. I appreciate Pornceptual's concept: Every party takes place in a different club, with a specific hedonistic theme. The aim is to celebrate our bodies as we are and do whatever you feel like, without shame. Dance, play, fuck, have fun. People really dress up down accordingly. Attending naked gives you free entry, and prices kinda rise the more clothes you have. There is always a not-so-dark-room. Plus, they have a loyal following. 
I didn't know what to expect as I thought punters were usually more into techno, but they were pretty cool and danced their naked asses off. I enjoyed seeing all that beautiful wriggling flesh bouncing to ma beats. The atmosphere resembled what I've heard Kit Kat club used to be in the golden shower days...

PLAYING IN DEPUTAMADRE CLUB, BELO HORIZONTE (english below)












Sexta passada rolou a festa "Piratas", no Deputamadre Club, meu clubinho-escola em Belo Horizonte, onde ouvi muitos nomes que fizeram crescer meu interesse pela música eletrônica. Toquei depois do  conterrâneo e techno master Anderson Noise. Também tocou o Robinho, pra quem dancei muuuito quando morava na capital mineira. A pista ficou cheia até o final, apesar da chegada do sol, que desde a última reforma invade a pista do Deputa. Faltou só uma persiana, como no Panorama Bar. O Deputamadre permanece como um dos clubes mais queridos e importantes na minha vida. <3

ENGLISH:

Last friday we had a "Pirates" party in Deputamadre Club, my hometown. There I heard many names that made flourish my interest in electronic music. This time I've played after the techno legend (and  homie boy) Anderson Noise. Robinho, (another legend which I danced to many times while living in Belo Horizonte), also played. The dancefloor was full till the very end, despite the arrival of the sun, which invades Deputa's space after the last repagination. It only lacks some blinds, like in Panorama Bar. Deputamadre remains one of my favourite clubs ever. And one of the most important ones in my life. <3
