the end of 2007 is upon us and 2008 is almost here and the time has come for me to take a back seat for the moment and reflect on the years that has passed and the year ahead. for me it has been a very interesting time doing what i do and getting a chance to see what i've seen over the years. i've seen trends come and go, seen the world a hundred times over, got a chance to see things that people dream of seeing, meeting some crazy individuals along the way as well. i've also over the years had some good times and bad times in which they've made me a strong (even stronger) person depending on the circumstance. i've made some good close friends and i value their friendship also. some music friends, some personal friendships that have nothing to do with the music biz and all that, taken trips with them, had wine, food, good conversation and spoke about what's going on in todays world that we live in. it seems as though the more i travel and do all of these things, the more i realize the big picture and not too many of us seems to realize certain things that are priceless and also things we take for granted, like... being able to see, (the world), being able to FEEL (whether it's a spirit or actually touching a physical thing), being able to HEAR, (a melody or just the sound of a voice) being able speak (verbally or through my music), all these things we take for granted sometimes. if you noticed, the last two things (IN CAPS) of what i'm describing to you are the things that i'm gonna talk about right now. MUSIC!!! you FEEL music, you HEAR music, and i've also seen the world through music, but that's not what i'm getting at... after countless airports, airplanes, taxis, hotels, and clubs... and shit i'm tired of me & jetlag being best friends... i'm throwing away my passport (not really but you get the picture) for 2 months and locking myself in my studio and making some fucking MUSIC!!!! i know some people are saying good and it's about time that i get back in the studio and what has taken me so long, well to make a long story short... all i have to say is... when i'm on the road, it takes me out of the studio, and no... i don't wanna make no beats on my laptop while i'm on the plane or hotel room. i'm the type of artist where i have to vibe in a studio environment (incense burning, lights down low and all you see are the LED lights on my equipment) in order for me to be inspired. you can call me old skool or whatever but that's how i roll, nah mean? when you've traveled as much as i have over the years, it's addictive to be able to go to let's say... Brazil or Australia or say... Paris, all in a months time period and that's no joke!!! to see all these places and TOUCH so many people in doing what i've been doing is the SHIT!!! but it comes a time when i gotta realize what got me here in the first place and that's MY MUSIC. from the early days of the Detroit Techno Movement to today, plenty has changed in the world of music, technology has taken over and now it's a new ball game. it's the perfect time as well, it's cold as fuck here in detroit, my creativity levels are about to explode, shit i'm already working on one project as we speak, i'm working with some local guys that i'm helping produce. so keep you ears close to the speakers cause i'm gonna come with some heat in the middle of winter. the only gigs that i will concentrate on for a while are my RADIO SKOOL parties, so for those of you in DETROIT, you'll get a nice treat in having me @ home for while. and those of you worldwide all i have to say is WMC march!

peace
