DJ Mag Top 100.... *sigh*
Current mood: amused
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers
i know,i know,,, the whole dj mag top 100 thing is totally retarded, in that it doesn't rank DJs in any way whatsoever... what it should be called is the "top 100 spammer" list....i hate it... BUT, for some weird reason, people in the industry seem to take it seriously, so in terms of getting gigs and coming to play in a city near you, it does seem to be effective... it certainly helped infected mushroom's career... and in a time where i spend a fortune on my studio, and pour my heart and soul and time into making music that anyone can now just download for free, it would be nice to get a little bit of recognition in the shallower end of the music industry, where people rate careers by weird polls ... and it would make my mum smile! so if you feel like voting: http://top100djs.djmag.com/

New Shpongle track Completed
Current mood: accomplished

We just finished the 3rd track of the new album... no title yet, but it is a mix of indian, jazz and classical music.... 3 genres that will alienate most of the population of this planet, i am sure! However i was hugely inspired after going to india, and recorded loads of samples of singers, drummers, musicians, beggars and posers.... yes, i’ll exploit anyone! hehe. The indian singer sounds so good, we might have to bring him over for the halloween show (which is selling out, by the way - i hope you got your tickets!)... although it might be too much of a culture shock for him, coming from his village in jaipur to sing in front of 3000 drug crazed freaks in london...mmm exciting! x x x
i took the flashback movie off the front page, because people were complaining about the sound of the fly... the trick is to avoid the button that says "play", as it will actually play the movie, and start the fly sound... anyway here it is, if you haven’t seen it:
Shpongle's first full LIVE performance for many years will be showcasing not only old classic material played but also a host of new and exciting material that will be making up Shpongle's 4th Album !
