I've been growing ever more anxious these days. I don't know. Worries life monies school apartment. Thats not the point. For all the stress and toil has been coming the reward. Three years of my life dedicated to writing electronic music. Over 130 tracks written in these years and finally getting to the point where I am comfortable with the quality of my sound to mix into dj sets with major producers. I cant help but feel/know that I still have so far to go with my sound to bring it up that next level. Certain rich sound quality that you see with professional beat makers. I still only have a handful of tracks that are solid enough to drop.
Soundclouds!!! My soundcloud has been gaining some attention lately not sure how it happened. checked the stats my plays went 1500% in a week!! WHAT? my play count tripled in a matter of days and just keeps on rising. Next point. A fellow from the lovely town of Arcata just happened to run across my soundcloud. So I get an email from him asking if I would like to play a dj set in july at the Nocturnum in eureka for WOMP WOMP wednseday. Yes Please! These years I've been wondering when my real shot was going to come. I thought it was going to be the fiasco known as HAITIFEST put on by the wonderful Shawn Lei. Worked up hopes and dreams. psssshhh lame. I cant complain I did get to learn how my computers soundcard reacts to pa amplification...(bad, got the stuff to fix it). But bam here comes Zach with this amazing offer. This show on July 21st. A chance to expand to a larger audience in a real club. plus the added bonus of help with getting future shows. SO this is my shot to making something real out of the 100's of hours of my time that I've dedicated to my sound.
I couldn't help but wonder why does he want me to play. Essentially a nobody.. A house party dj. But then it dawned on me. It could actually be that my music speaks out for me. It attracted the attention of the right people in the right places who I didn't know who or where they where. I my song plays climb day by day and cant help but think to myself "someone out there is listening?" Boom womp womp squelch womp smack womp womp off they go
