There was an article in New Paper last week about a DJ telling a patron to FUCK OFF IF THEY DIDN'T LIKE THE MUSIC..... in fact it was 2 pages full of it....

here's my opinion.....

you know what......??!! that guy deserve the centre finger with all the might!! apparently, he was asking for some RnB shit when the DJ was playing House, in a club where its policy is House!! haiyah!!! Singaporean will be Singaporean.... I feel so bloody sorry for my countrymen. why?? coz you're damn farking ignorant and stoopid!!

first of all, why didn' this guy look around him or even find out whats going on. if u come to a club and you don't like the music, just leave. simple. why go all the trouble and approach the DJ to change the music. there are others who go to DJs and request songs like they know their music.... c'mon man. don't start this shit with me coz it'll never end. Not that I know my stuff, but, i know that you don't know, that I know more than you know, and you bloody well know that i know what u don't know...... know what I mean.......

there was once while I was in the console watching my guys work the decks....., a guy came to the console (he was deck in all the hip hop costume shit.. know wat I mean..?) here's how it goes...

Hip Hop guy: Yo, drop some dope shit, man. sumthing fresh and cool....
DJ: what do u want dickhead?
Hip Hop guy: can u play some Oriental RnB...?
DJ: what the ..????????????

We were flabbergastered, dumbfounded and twisted!! what the hell was that.....?? apparently, he gave example.....Daddy Yankee..... fucking reggeaton!

Fellow Singaporeans...... I rest my case!!

- here's a message to all the DJs wannabe, superstar DJs(they think the are), purist DJs and not forgetting the real DJs who are out there earning a living..... be it in Orchard Towers, Boat Quay, Clarke Quay, Mohd Sultan, Joo Chiat, Tanjong Pagar and everywhere else. Please don't take this too hard, its just a personal feeling.

By looking at the picture, not many may realised that the 3 guys with me are actually well known DJs who have had their glory days and still doing it to this present day. We've got Herrmen - former Entertainment Manager for Fire Disco outlets in Malaysia, Greg 6Fingers - former GodFather of Culture Club in glory-Boat Quay, and lastly Joewali - the legend. Yeah, he is a legend. Not many know that this guy actually changed the look and standard of the local DJs and also how people party in the 80s, in Singapore.

Here's a little history to all the children....

Back in the 80s, Joe started as a dancer in clubs. The dancers back then are not like what u see today.... they were real dancers. (Nowadays, anybody's a dancer, provided you can sell shooters, alcohol and look good in micro skirts.) Joe went on to represent Singapore in the World Dance Champioships, in London. When he came back, he joined TMF (The Music Force). His partner was Moe Alkaff. (ok.... if you're reading this and don't know who Moe Alkaff and The Music Force, please go and try suck your own dick... go.)

Both of them were residencing at Top 10, creating madness in the nightclub industry with their antics and stuffs. Sometime, in mid-80s, the Straits Times ran a poll to select the best local DJ in Singapore. Joe pipped Moe to the title and sales at Top 10 went sky-rock!! At that time, no DJ party like they did, dancing, spinning, rapping, and lots of gimmick which actually, made them stars.

Months later, the console became too small for them and Moe moved on to Vegas and became gay.......(I WAS KIDDING, muthafucker!!... it was a joke. relax!!)

Joe moved on and took charge of the Fire Disco team of entertainers around the region.

15 years later, he came back to join me and made dbl 0 the No.1 party club in town... yeah, we're a party club..... call us cheesy or candy.. but we rock big time.....

Its dis-heartening for all my DJs who have to play cheesy tunes every night, when the fact is they are really into quality stuff.... Joe was into progressive stuff, but now I've influenced him to the world of 'love music' - HOUSE! ..... He's really into those funky house stuff but things are not always what u want....

I'm a lil' bit fortunate..... I've got Tektile gigs to feed my hunger... playing deep house with all the talented musicians.... plus we've got our CD out. (eat my shorts, biatch!!!)

the motive of the story is ......

1. DJs are entertainers..... u have to entertain. don't just stand behind the console and hope for someone to come and suck your dick!
2. You became DJs because of music, love for the music. So, stop talking shit about other DJs or other people, just spin that wheel. Its all about the music.
3. Good tunes are good tunes, the genre doesn't matter. If you got a job as a DJ playing scouse mickey-mouse music..... and you enjoyed it....good for you. don't give a flying fark about anybody who hates it.
4. When you look good, you feel good. when u feel good, you'll play good, when u play good.... the cock-suckers will come.....duh!!

Peace Out y'all.... catch you in the next class.....WHORE SHOOK MY F*CKING WHORE!!

Last night I got an e-mail from a friend about my blog. He said that he was disappointed that there wasn't any posting about music, DJ-ing and such in the blog. He thinks that because I'm living music 24-7, i'm suppose to have such postings in the blog...... Well, I don't have to..... but I can try...

Here goes.....(something about music)

Did u know that some of the best music are made by women......? I'm not talking about 'Booty'Beyonce, Mariah 'Scarey-Mary' Carey, Norah 'nonsense' Jones or even 'MILF' Madonna..... I'm refering the normal WOMAN....... Yeah, the one whom you see in the bus, supermarkets, at the traffic lights,..... the one who nags, cooks and wash for you...

It doesn't matter if you know them or not, whether you heard them or not,..... you know they have the abilities to make freaking good music....

Of course it does helps with a lil' bit of imagination, and a certain level of pleasantness from the woman. Don't believe me.....??? C'mon man!! any straight guys would agree with me that women makes good music sometimes..... unless, there are guys who prefer another guy moaning and talk shit and start nibbling ur 'farking'-guys ears....!!

..... and I know, there lots of women out there believes that they make 'freeking' good music.....................

....... next time you make-out,...... have a lsiten..... ; )

there u go.... something about music!!

People!! Help me pass the word around.......

I'm looking for a graphic artiste to come join me at Emerald Hill Group. If there's anyone out there who's 'creatively-fit', funky, trendy, loves the entertainment business and a has a good sense of humour(u gonna be working wih some noisy, crazy people - I'm one of them). do drop me an email at razak@emeraldhillgroup.com or checkout www.emeralhillgroup.com

hit me up, guys.... other details will be available soon.

HOLLA!!

Just finish reading Mel's post from TheTektilemovement.blogspot.com.......

I just realised how cool it is to see ur name in the music charts, especially when its a global chart. Even though its not totally my track (MEL did most of the work), it does give u some motivation to do more.

Many months back, the same track was in the Top 10 of global dance chart in mp3.com.au, now its in the breakbeat charts...... cool. For those who have not listen to the track, just go to Tektile's website or checkout the breakbeat chart at mp3.com.au. Last 2 weeks it was at no.73, last week no.44, this week 14...? hmmm....

Tektile's anniversary is on the 28th of this month, Ben's wedding this sunday, 27th Oct we'll launch the album, and the week after I will travel with Ahli Fiqir for a concert in Penang (CZA can't make it coz of exams).... oh ya... forgot! Hari Raya on 24th Oct.....!!

Not bad for a kampung boy.......

Oh! Another thing.......

I just got my first hate mail for the posting about being 'nice'..... it wasn't for anybody in particular, and the 'friend' may not even exist. damn!! I got dissed BIG TIME!! at least the objective of having this blog did go thru......

MORE TO COME...... ; )

Is it hard to be nice....?

I know that we live in very stressful environment. Stressful for the brain, body and at times for the pockets. Being stressful also means that the mood is always in zone where there's full of minefields. The wrong step would not only kill u, but put u in stressful death. However, does it make us more stressful to be nice to other people...? regardless of race, language and religion....?(yeah.... just like in primary school.) I know I sound like a preacher, but, ...... IS IT REALLY HARD TO BE NICE TO OTHER HUMAN BEING...??

here are some of my recent encounters.....

waiter : can i clear your plate?
my friend: of coz... you waiting for me to eat the empty plate also....?
(why can't he/she just say thank you....?)

cabbie : which way would u like to go? (asking for choice of directions)
my friend: anyway as long I get there safe.
(5 mins later)
my friend: which way are you going? why you go by a further distance?
cabbie :this is a faster way. the other way got traffic jam.
my friend: No!! go the other way!! I pay you to drive!!

(in a boutique, we were browsing)
salesgirl : hi, can I help?
my friend : yeah sure. you can help by not coming near me again. you'll know when I need help!

(in another restaurant)
waiter : how would u like your meat to be?
my friend: cooked and edible....??

Sometimes, I think we should stop being a smart-ass. Its not smart at all. maybe we think that because we're paying for something, it gives us the right to give others a hard time. Does wealth and status give us the right to be an ass-hole? YES!! (that's what my friend says)

Well, whatever it is, I hope someday my friend will never lose the status and wealth, and not feel what 'not-nice' is all about. why? coz its not gonna be pleasant...?

I don't think that I'm a nice person.... but at least I'm thoughtful of others around me.... thats why I'm quiet most of the time.(u guys know, right)

Ya, I know my post is not funny anymore...... i'm in the mid-life crisis mode......
