You may have read on <a href="http://www.djjoyride.com/2012/07/summertime-bbq-in-the-park-2012/" target="_blank">DJJoyride.com blog</a> that <a href="http://foodaddict101.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Pete aka The Grillmaster</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Icedbreaks-Entertainment-DJ-Crew/200032506683357" target="_blank">Icedbreaks Entertainment</a> are teaming up again in August for another Summertime Barbecue in Oak Grove Park.<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee the event runs smoothly, we are running a small fundraising effort to pay for the permits and materials to make the food, music, and fun happen. You can see the progress toward our goal in the right side column.<br />

I also commented on the Dj Joyride facebook page.(http://facebook.com/djjoyride.us) <br />
<br />
It made me feel like it is best to struggle, innovate, adjust, try new things than be at the top of the industry. Sure, fame and money come, but Mau5 is earning a living and sacrificing his pleasure on stage for money. However, I bet he does have fun in the studio. <br />
<br />
On the other side of the coin, Deadmau5 is also saying that the reason anyone does shows is for the fans, and that is somewhat true. But I think back to the roots of hip hop. The DJ, the BBoy, and the MC. All three have a great time because the others are there. That is what I want to build and be a part of. I want to Dj for promoters that enjoy promoting alongside dj's and MCs that are also having a blast. I want to work with nerdy lighting / sound guys that are loving and innovating and improving. I want to see fans and meet the greatest new friends I can ask for. If my events need to be small because it takes me some time to network and find the right people, so be it. It is worth the time and investment. EDM is a great experiment and it is how I have met my closest friends as well as hundreds of other excellent people, including you. :)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IskRtzMXLjQ/T-qs7KcgY-I/AAAAAAAAA2k/B4c5mYWTHxM/s640/blogger-image-1784743656.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-IskRtzMXLjQ/T-qs7KcgY-I/AAAAAAAAA2k/B4c5mYWTHxM/s640/blogger-image-1784743656.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-09LJWLQAfO0/T-qs7TTtBbI/AAAAAAAAA2s/24GCPTEoxvw/s640/blogger-image-655945353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-09LJWLQAfO0/T-qs7TTtBbI/AAAAAAAAA2s/24GCPTEoxvw/s640/blogger-image-655945353.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2jNnHAQqYkY/T-qs74cktRI/AAAAAAAAA20/E1TUbTXbjQs/s640/blogger-image-1474283700.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-2jNnHAQqYkY/T-qs74cktRI/AAAAAAAAA20/E1TUbTXbjQs/s640/blogger-image-1474283700.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-AEq7vCkotRA/T-qs8fLa5aI/AAAAAAAAA28/Ii1XDPb0bfQ/s640/blogger-image--783373937.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-AEq7vCkotRA/T-qs8fLa5aI/AAAAAAAAA28/Ii1XDPb0bfQ/s640/blogger-image--783373937.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RgCsCs8Lwss/T-qs8StinII/AAAAAAAAA3E/cy-q_XTXxzw/s640/blogger-image--484840445.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-RgCsCs8Lwss/T-qs8StinII/AAAAAAAAA3E/cy-q_XTXxzw/s640/blogger-image--484840445.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rWXJj2GtqwI/T-qs84jdoFI/AAAAAAAAA3M/1uMiHJXHfL8/s640/blogger-image-1970390593.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rWXJj2GtqwI/T-qs84jdoFI/AAAAAAAAA3M/1uMiHJXHfL8/s640/blogger-image-1970390593.jpg" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">"Freezing Your Ears Since 1999" - <a href="http://www.icedbreaks.com">www.icedbreaks.com</a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743945489196031909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10909522.post-90779917110829681312012-02-21T09:14:00.002-08:002012-02-21T09:14:15.964-08:00Raul (b/k/a R.A.W. & 6BLOCC & BBOY3000) in PortlandRecorded live on the dancefloor Sunday, February 20, 2012:

<blockquote>
<b>Thank you to the High Plains Reader, to KNDS Radio and each of you who have spent time on my dancefloor. Thank YOU to those who voted on the Internet, payed a cover charge an event I played for, or rolled down your windows and drove a little slower during my radio program. Thank you for participating in the mighty Red River Underground. If you have ever booked me at a show, private party, or we rocked your house party-- please keep working. People needs dance. People need the unity that your events make possible.</b></blockquote>

<br />
The Icedbreaks Crew is proud to represent 2 of the 4 nominees in this category for 2011, Joyride and Star IV. Both DJs are available for special events individually or as a tag team. Interviews with Joyride are available via telephone or in person the week of July 4th.<br />

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">Years ago Brandon, a good friend of the Icedbreaks Crew, did a presentation of Spun Academy's technological capabilities by demonstrating a tangible interface synthesizer. His goal was to get access to the Museum's Rocket Scientists to take things to the next level, but found himself on the other side of the table. Instead of Brandon asking the questions, these curators had so many that Brandon couldn't</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> get to his. </span></span><br />

The curators immediately requested that Brandon and the Academy work with them to build exhibits to be featured at the museum. After countless emails, a visit to Spun Academy by the Institute design team, and a private conference...Design Zone was born.

I think I could've kept both. <br />
<br />
Vincent Farvard and I met during Culture Shock and Secret Stereo Pt.4 last weekend in Grand Forks, ND. He is a very versatile DJ from France, also a student at NDSU. He stopped by our studio before his last final. Tuesday he is headed to France for the summer. Look for Vincent and I to do some shows in the fall of 2010.<br />

Some of my good friends at <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/#/label/innovatoreinstein"> Innovator & Einstein</a> have put together a few tracks with her and I think that they're onto something. I never thought that they'd be working on such pop music, but it works.<br />
<br />
To all readers and fans of Icedbreaks, enjoy these couple of tunes from AnG. My favorite is "Wishy Washy." Don't let it get stuck in your head just yet... more music is coming soon.<br />

This cat sold me with one CD. Come to find out, with a little research, and a full endorsement from SUFF-X,<br />
he is more than worthy of anything thrown at him. Seriously, we here in PDX<br />

Derrick has mad depth. I remember playing my first show here in PDX with him @ Therapy in maybe 2003(?)<br />
and he had already BEEN bringing it for YEARS. A transplant from the original rave community (:P), he has been<br />
here since before you knew the difference between 2step and techstep. The thing is, he has his ear on the pulse.<br />
The tracks I hear come out of his soul during the times I get to hear, Command the crowd. You'll see.<br />

Rei seems to spend most of her precious nights in the studio and out of the club. Good looking out! We all wish we could.<br />
At any rate, we are blessed with a moment in time where we will be in the club while Aurei is most likely dropping the fruits of her labor... (YAY!)<br />

</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">Flipping through old vinyl albums at a used-record shop, I did what anyone does when a fellow human bares his soul: I ignored him. "They said CDs would sound better," he persisted. "They lied!" He rapped a vintage Ramsey Lewis album on the edge of the bin, like a gavel, releasing that distinct scent of dust and decomposing cardboard.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">"I got rid of my record player. I let my records go. And they never even bothered to bring back half of my old jazz albums. Not <em>half.</em> It was like they hooked us, and then they <em>gutted</em> us."<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">It was a spontaneous outburst, but the gist of it I've been hearing for years among frequenters of the vinyl bins: despite the advantages of compact disks (CDs) over vinyl—you'll never hear a CD pop or click, and you can access any track instantly—the supposed perfection of the format was overstated. Of course, the companies were just as over-the-top about LPs. Here's a quote from my vinyl copy of <em>Tony </em><br />
<em><a name='more'></a>[Bennett]'s Greatest Hits, Volume III</em>: "You can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future." Pioneer audiophiles felt that way about Edison's cylinder phonograph of the late 1800s and the 78-rpm shellac disks of the early 20th century. And even as the "never obsolete" vinyl promise was being made in the 1960s, guys in lab coats were dreaming up cassette tapes and eight-track tape cartridges.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">Then came the CD in the mid-1980s, and everyone knew that vinyl's days were numbered. But like those ancient tiny mammals that predated the dinosaurs—and then kept skittering around the feet of <em>T. rex</em> and his pals—vinyl never completely disappeared: throughout the '90s, hip-hop DJs spun vinyl disks, manipulating the turntables by hand for musical effect.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
And it's not just a generational thing. Newer acts such as The Killers and Ryan Adams are finding an LP audience as well, offering vinyl and MP3-download versions of their latest releases as a single package. In fact, whereas Borders and Best Buy stores have been reducing their CD space, both retailers have installed new vinyl-LP racks.Now record companies are making money from vinyl again: vinyl-record sales soared 89 percent in 2008, while CDs, falling prey to Internet downloads, continued to trudge down the road to extinction. Music giant EMI has rereleased some 65 classic albums on vinyl, including acts ranging from Frank Sinatra to the Beastie Boys. U2's newest album (<em>No Line on the Horizon</em>), Bruce Springsteen's latest (<em>Working on a Dream</em>), and Harry Connick Jr.'s <em>Your Songs</em> have all done brisk vinyl business.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>The Sound of Silence</strong><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">It wasn't the sound that sold us on CDs—it was the absence of it. Your first CD experience was probably a lot like mine. I was working at a tabloid newspaper in Florida, and one day the publisher called me into his office. "Siddown," he barked. As always, I did as I was told. He just sat there staring at me, cigarette aloft in one hand. Then, suddenly, the crashing opening chords of Tchaikovsky's <em>Capriccio Italien</em> came barreling out at me from two large speakers. I leaped to my feet, as if to escape. My boss clapped his hands and laughed, sending ashes flying.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">"It's the silence," he said gleefully. "A record warns you something's gonna happen with all the noise it makes. But this is a compact disk. When it's quiet, it's <em>damn</em> quiet."<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">Maybe too quiet. Even after CDs nudged vinyl out the record-store door in the late 1980s, enthusiasts stuck to their position that vinyl's sound reproduction was ultimately more satisfying than digital's. <em>Warmer</em> is the word used most frequently, and Jason Boyd, who oversees vinyl-record production and sales for music giant EMI, tried to explain it to me.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">"The imperfections of the sound—the low ends—are sonically appealing," Boyd says. "CD is most pristine. But vinyl has the warm, full sound of the music. The cracks and the little imperfections that pop up seem to enhance the music. It's a way of <em>experiencing</em> music rather than just <em>consuming</em> it."<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">Boyd is probably right. But here's my theory: it's the unique imperfections of each vinyl record that make it irreplaceable. After enough plays, a record becomes a fingerprint of your listening experience. Just about everyone who owned the Beatles' <em>White Album</em> wore the thing down to a nub. Your copy, like mine, is a crackling mess through "Cry Baby Cry"—but then it becomes a mint-condition collector's item the moment that unlistenable jumble of sounds the Lads called "Revolution 9" fades in.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">Indeed, all of our records carry an indelible personal stamp: the skip on your copy of <em>The Dark Side of the Moon</em> that results in Roger Waters's repeating "Money!" over and over…the holiday album you still play despite the damage it sustained in that unfortunate 1962 Christmas-tree pine-needle accident...the Shari Lewis record you kicked off the turntable while you were dancing, so now Lamb Chop repeats herself, like Rain Man.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br />
Even the nonlistening rituals of record ownership are burned into the memories of everyone who ever had a collection. Need proof? Head down to a music store and buy a record—most larger shops now have at least a small vinyl section. The rest will come naturally: bring the record home (on the way, I guarantee, you'll admire the cover artwork). Now slip your thumbnail into the cellophane sheath, right at the album's business end, and slide it along. Feel that flutter in your stomach as the album opens? You're remembering what it's like to access your music with a single, graceful stroke—instead of peeling, stabbing, cutting, and finally biting your way into a CD jewel case. Now slide out the inner sleeve. </span></strong><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">There she is: the proud, black thing of beauty, her label winking at you through the sleeve's center hole. As you extract the disk from the sleeve, you'll find you haven't forgotten how to hold it safely: your thumb at the ridge, the label resting on your fingers. If you're lucky enough to still have your turntable, you'll deftly center the record on the spindle. Best of all, the disk won't hop into a drawer and disappear into a box, like a CD. It will stay right there in plain view, singing to you at a steady 33 1/3 revolutions per minute.</span></strong><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><b><br />

</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><strong><span style="font-weight: normal;"></span>See Me, Feel Me</strong><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">Then there's the structure of a two-sided album. In the old days, records were programmed in two acts: Side One and Side Two. Someone who's never flipped an LP would be mightily puzzled over the lyric at the end of Side One on the Carpenters' fourth album, <em>A Song for You:</em> "We'll be right back /After we go to the bathroom." On my favorite album, Electric Light Orchestra's <em>Eldorado,</em> Jeff Lynne ends Side One on a chord progression that is left unresolved until Side Two.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>Your Song</strong><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">In my world, digital and vinyl have found a way to coexist: when I'm on the subway, or walking on a bustling city sidewalk, the slightly shrill digital music flowing through my earbuds seems appropriate. At home, however—where I'm bathed in the warmth of family and familiar surroundings—the sounds from my old record player seem to float from room to room, filling every corner with aural incense.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">"Vinyl will never be mainstream again, but it's a growing niche," says Michael Fremer, senior contributing editor for <em>Stereophile</em> magazine. (He owns 15,000 vinyl records.) "When a former vinyl listener reconnects, he or she says, 'I remember that sound. <em>That's</em> what I'm missing!' And a new generation is discovering that vinyl sounds better and represents tunes sequenced as the artist wishes, rather than as a series of random events.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">"I doubt kids will look back in 50 years and say, 'I remember when I downloaded that!' The forward-looking young people are going for vinyl editions of their important music."<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;"><strong>The End</strong><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">Those of us who fell for the Great Lie will never fully recover. My distraught friend from the used-record store is right: we'll spend the rest of our days trying to re-create our old collections, Ancient Mariners roaming the earth, our MP3 players slung about our necks like albatrosses.<br />
</div><div style="font-size: 1em; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4em; margin-top: 0px;">But there will be the inevitable reunions with long-lost LP friends, the rush of anticipation when the needle hits that groove, and the exquisite moment when the music plays, warm and full, punctuated with the pops and crackles of passing time.<br />

We also spoke with Nigel about the future of underground dance in North America. We can all agree that it is changing. We discussed the emerging "Burning Man" spin-off events across the country (<a href="http://tribe.net/">tribe.net</a>) and adult costume events like at <a href="http://kostumekult.com/">kostumekult.com</a> as possible alternatives to our dwindling musical habitat.
