what I actually listened to this year

apparently adding house did not cause the hard drive to reject hardcore. remarkable. #

This year I listened to more different things without feeling any need to make them agree with each other. Hardcore is still The Stunned Guys, Tommyknocker, Nosferatu, Promo, Endymion, Neophyte, The Viper, the files Edo sends me from Lecco, CD Rs labelled in blue pen, tracks transferred painfully over MSN or ICQ while the connection behaves as though I’m asking it to transport furniture. Techno is still the thing I want when a night needs to become physical. Progressive is Franchino, Ricky Le Roy, those darker rooms and long builds where waiting is half the point. Mauro Picotto still works. Mario Più still works. Joy Kitikonti still works. Faithless still works. Prodigy obviously.

And house happened. Properly. Not as background. I actually started wanting it at the beginning of nights, especially the more fashion evenings with Yuri where we go for drinks somewhere beautiful first. I like the warmth of it. I like that it doesn’t need to attack immediately. Then later give me techno. Then another night give me hardcore. Why choose?

Also Britney, Christina, Garbage and Depeche Mode are still here, despite apparently confusing people who think a blonde girl is required to submit a single genre declaration at customs.

No.

My Winamp, my rules.

Remember me, Eclipse.
